Make No Comment

Washington, June 22.-Government officials made no comment tonight on
 the new $50, 100000 loan for France an
 nounced in New York through J. r
 Morgan & Co The attitude of the sta tc
 department on foreign loans as o@-
 plained in official statements is neither
 to approve or disapprove such trans actions. since, under international and
 domestic law, there is no legal objcc-
 ton to their flotation.
 The President early in the war de- clared that loans. although not unlaw-
 full. were inconsistent with the true
 spirit of neutrality. Later this was in- terpreted in a letter from the Secre- tary of State to Chairman Stone of the Senate foreign relations committee as applying to loans which were intended to be sold through popular subscrip tion or those in which large quantities of gold would be shipped out of the United States. No objection. it was stated, was held against so-called credit loans by individual bankers whereby belligerents place in the United States loans for the purchase of food and wal supplies

NEW FRENCH LOAN
 TO BE FLOATED HERE
(continued from Page one)

These bonds include some of the senior securities of Americas premier roads, of which many millions of dollars worth are
 owned by French investors.
 To large extent these securities are ne-
 gotiable only in francs that proviso hay
 ing been made at the time of their sale
 to French interests. This will not affect the character of the collaterial, however
 should the bonds be offered to investors in
 this country, inasmuch as the especial
 clause may be cancelled by private ar
 rangement between the contracting par ties. sA
 The proceeds of the loan will be used by the French government for payment here of it's heavy commercial obligations in- cured in the purchase of war supplies and foodstuffs. 1t is believed that the outcome of this transaction will tend ma- terially to relax the strained credit con- ditions between this center and Paris and bring some ease to the London exchange
 market, which has been the financial me- dium between New York and Paris of
 recent months.

 However. every guarantee Will De given in an endeavor to afford Americans in question ample protection, and if emer- gences should require them to depart an adequate escort will be furnished them, Fifteen hundred Mexican troops are now abailable for this protection, and General Sosa is now in the valley to command these troops
 And, whereas, that military command ant and his officers would understand that landing would be made under only the most urgent necessity, and only for the protection of American lives, yet the masses might misinterpret the action and resent it. and undoubtedly some Indians would join their Indian brothers; and furthermore, such action might cause Americans trouble all along the coast.
