[By telegraph 70 The Tribune ]

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 20.-In state
ment issued tonight James j. Hill
said that the proposed loan of $780,
100000 to s1,0O00O0,O00 TO England
and France would be made and that it
would in no way encroach upon our
neutrality.
There is no doubt that this loan will
be made, TO a total not less than $780,
0O0OO," he said. "The whole amount
of this credit will be used to pay for
purchases of grain, cotton and provi-
sions in this country. No part of il
whatever will be used for munitions of
war. And it is probable that such ar
engagements will be made as will largely
insure the spending in each district of
the money contributed in that district.
In this way there cannot be the slight
