BANKERS SHY
AT WAR LOAN
-
FOR The ALLIES

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Behind the
Chinese wall of secrecy which girdles
the Anglo-French credit commissioners
and the American financiers with
whom they are dealing for a war loan,
negotiations are proceeding with the
foreign representatives yielding to the
bankers on important points.
The influence Of the western bank
ers is being felt more and more. That
$500, 100000 has been named as the
outside figure unless the terms OF the
loan were changed was learned in
financial circles today. 1t has been
practically settled that Russia shall
not participate.
Opposition from financial groups in
the west and middle west to the So
called arbitrary methods Of the Nor
gan group. through which the COM
missioners are dealing with less i'm
portant interests, is being smoothed
over.
II the loan is floated a guarantor's
committee of bankers will be appoint
ed to assure it's integrity to investors.
Among those on this committee will
probably be J. P. Morgan, H. P.
Dawson. Frank A. Vanderlip, A. Bar
ton Hepburn. Charles H. Sabin, Albert
H. Wiggin, Francis L. Heine, George
F. Baker and James S. Alexander. So
fas as known now there will be no

There is now a movement under
way to make the offering prices to
