Loans to Allies
In June To Be

u. S. Treasury Officials De
eide Tentatively on
Allowances

Washington, May 24.-Treasury Off
Gals have turned their attention to
the financial requirements of the Allies
for Jane. and are engaged in formu-
lating a more or less elastic programme
designed to stand for several months.
indications are that approximately
$500 600 900 will be advanced to the
Allies in June, bringing the total up
10 more than s1,OOO,0OO,0oO.
Members of the Italian mission. who
have conferred recently with Treasury
officials. have sent to Rome for more
detailed facts as to the commitments
Of the Italian government in this coun-
try. and when this information is in
hand it will be used in designing pro
prammc to meet Italian financial needs
for several months.
British and French needs have been
outlined definitely, and tentative pro-
posals contemplate loans 10 these gov
.rnments at rate of approximately
$3.50 O00 900 to $500 100000 a month.
Russia has not yet drawn against the
500 600 900 credit established for her
here. and it is thought that this amount
will take care Of her requirements for
some time, possibly for the entire month
OF June. Belgian needs already have
been anticipated for six months by the
establishment Of the Si5,O0O,O0O credit
recently authorized.
Thus far the loans to the Allies have
been chiefly to meet their most press
ing requirements. Negotiations have
passed this stage and are now pro
cecding on n basis of the payment, at
stated periods, of fixed sums, all Of
which will be spent in the United
States.

ing the opening of the ports. declared
that such o measure would be IN inc
interest of Brazil, whose existence de-
pended upon freedom Of the seas.
Antonio Carlos. the government
leader in the Chamber. declared that
the text Of the message of President
Braz proved that the government had
no inter.ion OF influencing the action
of Congress and that its purpose was
to leave to Congress the final decision
of BraziPs course. The Presidents
message recommending the resembling
of Brazils declaration OF neutrality
was read in the Senate to-day. Much

conferences of various Congressional

Senior Pecanna gave a detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the situation to the Par
liamentary Commission in charge OF

made the subject ot a Prcsidentiai mes
sage at an carly date.

TO the newspapers, that IL was not

TO cooperation between Brazil and the

devote its entire attention to military
and naval organization, especially with
respect TO collaborating with the
United States, in the policing OF the
South Atlantic. and should prepare for
any eventuality. After the meeting of
the Council Senior Pccanha was asked
as to the possibility of Brazil declar-
ing war on Germany. The minister
replied:
Brazil declares war on nobody. She
defends herself. It is Germany which
declares war on all neutrals."
Senior Pecanha will send TO the
Chamber OF Deputies and the Senate
o-day the result of the inquiry into
the sinking Of the Tijuca. He will also
furnish details of the diplomatic eX
changes regarding the international
