DISTRIBUTION OF U. S. LOAN
TENTATIVE PROGRAM ALLOWS
ALLIES $5ooooo,o 900 A MONTH.
Virtually Every Dollar Of Big Loan
Would Be Spent in This Country,
According to Plans.

Washington, April 28.-Preliminary
reports to the treasury department,
upon which Secretary McAdoo will
base his recommendation to the Pres
ideAt as to the size of the first bond
issue under the $7,000,00O,000 war fl
nance law, indicate that the United
States will be called upon to finance
the Allies to the extent of at least
$400,000,000 and possibly 100000, 900
a month.
Would Be Kept at Home.
The tentative program also calls for
the expenditure of virtually every dol
lar of the borrowed money in this
country for foodstuffs, munitions, coal,
clothing, railway equipment and 9TH
er supplies. The estimates indicate
the following Allies needs:
For Great Britain 5000, 100000 to
$250,000,000 month; for France from
$100,000,000 to SIZE, 100000; for Rus
STA a sum up to $100,00O,OO0 month
depending upon the ability for manu-
featuring plants in this country to
meet her demands, mostly for sup
plies other than foodstuffs and NUM-
tons; for Italy, about $50,000,000 a
month
Should these requirements be met
in their entirety the $3,000,00O,O 900
available for lending the Allies would
be exhausted in from six to seven and
one-half months. 1t is likely, howev-
tIof fho
be pared down to point where, with
out emitting essentials, the huge loan
could be made to cover requirements
for much longer period of time, pos.
sibly for one year.

UPHOLDS RIGHT TO CRITICIZE
PRESIDENT is AGAINST CURB ON
VOICE OF PEOPLE.
Opposes Anything in Proposed Censor

Exercise of Privilege.

Washington, April %. - President
Wilson in a letter to Arthur Brisbane
of New York, declared he is opposed
to any system of censorship that
would deny to the people of the United
States their indisputable right to crit
icize their own public officials
Replying to letter from Mr. Bris-
bane on the espionage bill pending in
Congress, the President wrote:
Il approve of this legislation, but
whatever action Congress may decide
upon, so far as I am personally con-
cerned, I shall not expect or permit
any part of this law to apply to me
or any of my official acts in any way
to be used as a shield against criti-
cism.
Invites Intelligent Criticism.
II can imagine no greater disser-
vice to the country than to establish
a system of censorship that would
deny to the people of a free republic
like our own their indisputable right
to criticize their own public officials.
While I exercise the great powers of
the Office I hold, I would regret in
crisis like the one through which we
are now passing to lose the benefit Of
patriotic and intelligent criticism.
I'm these trying times one can feel
certain only of his motives which he
must try to purge of selfishness of
every kind and await with patience
for the judgment of a calmer day to
vindicate the wisdom of the course he
has tried conscientiously to follow"
