LONDON. Sept. 90-Asserting that
American bankers naturally prefer q
loan with some $1,000, 900 profit TO the i'm
portation OF gold which brings no profits.
the Manchester Guardian declares edi-
torially:
There is no reason. however, why the
government should indulge in what has
every appearance of being a blunder as
costly politically as financially"
Insisting that the loan would be invalid
unless approved by Parliament, the Guar
dian adds:
Seldom has a financial transaction
been imposed upon the British people
which cried out so loud for justification.
II may be that Mr.. Morgan and his as
sociates have done the allies a good ser
vice and earned reward, but II so, II
would be cheaper to present them with
their 100000 and forego a loan 20 dam
