THE CHINESE LOAN

There have been some very dramatic features associated with the perfecting of arrangements whereby the United States in association with Japan and Great Britain is about to make a loan to China of $50,OO0,000. The censorship does not permit at present any report
 which would set forth the dramatic fea- lures associated with the perfecting of this contract.
 It has, however, permitted the an- lnouncement to be made that the United States government cordially supports | this great financial proposition, know ing that the money is to be used in part for the payment of ship construction in China, and in part for the development of some of the resources of China, and perhaps some of it for the more per feet equipment of her armies.

China as Friend
 of United States
By HOLLAND

l New York, August Especial Ut l is reported in New York that Chairman Hurley of the shipping board regards it ] as possible that within a year China will have built for and have sent to, the United States a large number of ships with the understanding that these ships, 1 after the war is over, will be returned to China in order to facilitate that na- tion's plans for developing a large ex- ternaI commerce.
 The relation of China to the United States is spoken of by those who know and by representatives of the Chinese government who are now in New York as perhaps as friendly a relation as that maintained by the United States with any other nation. Some of the American business leaders who under took to develop trade with China, as for instance, James J. Hill and Capt. Robert Dollar, were so conscientious in their dealings with the Chinese as to establish belief among Chinese mer- chants and exporters that, as was the case With the Chinese merchants them selves, no bond was necessary in order to guarantee the contract.
 MT Hills enterprise, which contem- plated very large trade between the United States by way of the Pacific and China, was brought to a halt through the acton Of the interstate commerce commission, which was the opinion that certain reduction in rates for traffic over the Great Northern railroad upon commodities designed for China and also of the commodities brought from China to the United States was illegal.
 Captain Dollar. however, has main talned great influence in China, and he Is regarded as one of the foremost of American business men. There is some reason for surmising that it may have been in part due to his influence with the government in China and with the leading merchants there that China was persuaded, if financial help could be secured, to undertake the construction of ships for the United States upon a large scale and tO do if rapidlv
