BRITAIN receives
Big WAR LOAN
McAdoo Hands Warrant for
$2O0,0OO,00O to the British
Ambassador.
FIRST or GREAT WAR LOANS
Transaction Made in the Presence of
the Governor of the Bank of
England and Other Officials
at Washington.

Washington, April 26.-Secretary
McAdoo handed the British anbassa'
dor q treasury waslssg Sss
go Chi flst Els
/ government by the United States iG1ss
der the $7OOO,000,000 war finance
measure.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, British ambas-
sador, handed to Secretary McAdoo a
receipt on behalf of the British gov
eminent and the transaction was COM
plete.
The transfer of the big sum was
made in Secretary McAdoo's office In
the presence Of Lord Cunliffe, gov.
ernor Of the Bank of England, federal
reserve board, treasury and British
embassy officials.
The amount of the loan was deposit
ed in the federal reserve banks, by
banks subscribing to the $3.50, 100000
issue of treasury certificates of in
debtedness due June 30. The $50
100000 remaining of the issue will
be disposed of in a manner yet to be
announced by Secretary McAdoo.
Takes Place of Private Loan.
The loan will take the place of a
private loan which Great Britain had
contemplated obtaining from j. P. Nor
gan & Co., on securities of the Cana
dian Pacific railway. Arrangements
looking to the issue by Morgan & CO.
had been under way for some time,
when Secretary McAdoo requested that
they be deferred and indicated that
the government would meet Great
Britains immediate needs.
Incidentally England will save
approximately $3,OO0,O0O annually In
interest charges by obtaining thel
from the government instead of II
private institutions, as the govern
ment's interest rate will be three and
one-half per cent, as compared with a
minimum Of five per cent which Great
Britain would have had to pay on a
private loan.
Discuss Further Needs.
Discussion of Great Britains further
needs in the immediate future was
continued at conferences among Sec
rotary McAdoo, Sir Cecil Spring Rice
and Lord Cunliffe, and later at lunch
with the federal reserve board
Great Britain is spending, it was rep
resented, approximately $8,000,000 a
day for foodstuffs and munitions in the
United States. Her needs, therefore,
approximate $250,000,000 a month.
Should the government adopt a policy
of collecting the proceeds of the first
bond issue by installments, covering
four months, Great Britains needs DUR
ing that period would be about ST.
000,000O00.
From that sum, however, should be
deducted supplies at present pur-
chased by Great Britain on behalf of
Italy and Russia. Preliminary reports
on this phase indicate that Great Brit
aims needs during the four months
for herself alone would approximate
$750,000,000, and a sum of approx
mately that amount probably will be
her share of the first bond issue loaned
the allies.
