WAR MUNITIONS EXPORTS

New York, Sept. 20.-The Anglo
French financial commissioners who
are seeking to establish a mammoth
credit loan here, and American fnan-
ciers, who expect to supply the money,
are reported to be at odds over the
burning question of including NUM-
tons Of war among exports to be paid
for by the proceeds of the loan.
On several details of the loan the
commission and the bankers have
agreed, but on this major question it
was said their views are Numerically
opposed. Further, it developed there
is an apparent split on the question
in the ranks of the American finan-
ciers.
The commissions attitude, so far as
it can be interpreted from a canvass
of such bankers comforting with it as
would talk, is that the big credit,
whether billion dollars or less, should
provide funds for all exports and that
munitions Of war certainly should be
included.
