but It was not upheld by the Federal
Reserve Board
A state Department Official in close
touch with the situation. made this
aigninoAnt statement today.
There 10 no doubt that tho allies
need financial assistance and there Is
also no doubt that they have exhausted
the claes Of securities usually de-
ssAndsd by the bankers of this coun-
try. It should be obvious that the
bankers who have already made colos-
sal loans to England must protect
themselves. They can best do that by
lending their money and the war can
not be continued indefinitely without
money"
1t was pointed out by this author
ity that J. p. Morgan & Co. controlled
the hrst. second and third loan to
the allies. The first of these loans had
no security except the general credit
OF the nations Themselves The last
two were secured by collateral. Part
OF the collateral consisted of the Sc
curtttes OF American corporations. The
remainder included securities chiefly
from the South American republics.
At the State Department the opinion
was expressed that a new loan might
be made on similar terms recently
approved by the United States in the
100000 transaction between China
and the Continental and Commercial
Bank of Chicago. In this matter Sec
Rotary Lansing was authorized to is
sue a statement of approval.
