individuals, However, Express Op-
position 10 Anglo-French Loan

Although several protests against the
proposed Anglo-French loan have been
received at the White House from indi-
vlduals, no protest from any foreign
government has been received. The
state Departments attitude toward the
loan is one of interested obServa ton,
and an official said there today that al
though a few letters on the subject had
been received, nothing of any conse-
quence had been revealed in Il perusal
of>these communications. These let
ters were from individuals.
1t may be authoritatively declared
that the attitude of the government has
not changed toward foreign loans con-
tracted in the United States since Sec
retarv BryanS various statements on
tn" subject and his letter to Senator
stone.
Secretary Bryan then said there was
no objection to credit loans Or tran
SactionS where the money is to remain
IN the United States. In the present
case. it is understood. the loan is
sought in order to make purchases in
this country.

Skepticism Expressed in London.

LONDON. September -, 3:32 AIM
Reports from New York of efforts by
the Franco British financial commits
sion to establish Il billion dollar credit
on behalf of the allies are received
skeptically here. The Times says, in
d financial article:
"A good deal of water is likely to
flow under the Brooklyn bridge before
any such proposal can become practi-
cable. Well Informed people will note
that gold in increase quantities is
being used there for it's proper pur-
pose.
The Morning Post also considers the
commission has not Vet had time to
arrange anything definite. but is not
surprised at the large amount men
toned. 1t says banking and trading
interests on both sides of the Atlantic
soon will recognize that the best in =
tereSts Of both parties are likely to be
served by the credits being on very
! large scale and on the assumption that
the war viii! last for Il long time to
come.
We believe. says the Post. that
these large credits will have to be sup
plemented by a good many other meas
ureS. such as more gold shipments,
further sales of American securities
and the attracting of American capital
to this country in various ways, pref
erably for investment in home Sc
curitieS"

Active in Middle West.

The movement. from what the COM
mission heard, had its origin in the
east and its greatest activity in the
middle west, especially in the large
cities where the pro-German element
is considerable in numbers. Although
not so manifest here in New York as
elsewhere, it was said, the plan is by
40 means inactive in this city. This
was evidenced, according to reliable
reports by a food of protests made by
largest banks here, voicinG in terms 50

lieved to have had a common source.
their iudi ignatiOn that the bank IN
question should even consider lending
money to Germanys enemies.
Yelled threats, it was reported, have
often accompanied the protests; and
certain institutions here now planning
to participate in floating the loan are
already estimating the extent of the
losses in deposits which they believe
will surely follow when the big loan
is tloated, if at all.
The extent Of German opposition to
the commissions plans was illustrated
today when it became known that offi-
GERS of the chamber Of commerce. an
organization of New York merchants
of varying political creeds and personal
synpathies were unenthusia site about
the plan of having the commission
make its headquarters there. After
announcement had already been made
that the commission would meet there

ANNOYING to Commission.

Members of the commission have made
no secret of their annoyance at the
widespread activities of pro-Germah
sympath thizers, nor of the belief that the
agitation is inspired. To the same
source of inspiration they attribute the
considerable number of insulting AN"
threatening letters which have come
through the mails to the commissioner
during their five-day stay here.
Officials of some of Wall street ois
financial institutions heretofore ciasSeo
as pro-German, have no sympathy WIN
these attacks. 1t is known they are III

in the fiotation of the loan This group
of bankers is quoted by spokesman
as believing that the prosperity OF
America is vitally involved in the COM
missions success, and as Americans
they want to participate in aiding any
thing in reason that VIII result IN Il

American exporter.
From a purely selfish point of view,
in addition. the business of these bank
ers would he much better, it is said. if
the flood of exports is unchecked, than
it would be otherwise.
