Organization of New

Arrangements

Arrangements
Washington. May 1e-Organiza-
ton Of new consortium for fnan-
cling Of Chinese loans, announced to-
day in Paris dispatches, is regarded
in official circles here as a triumph
for the new American principle of
extension Of the scope of participa-
ton in International financial ar
rangements.
At the State Department it was
said officially that under the condi-
lions which are to govern the new
consortium the government practi-
cally, if not in specific terms. guar
antees the investments of the bank
ing group interested. If the terms
of the loan are just and the con-
ditions fair. and if China agrees to
the terms under which the loans are
made, il was stated officially that
this government would assure the
bankers. after the matter had been
submitted to the State Department
that the United States would pro-
tect all the interests secured in good
faith.
Thirty-seven American banks, it
was learned. are interested in the
loans that will be made to China by
the international group. This is I'M
derstood to have been one of the
points contended for by the State
Department after the United States
withdrew from the former consorti-
UNI which expires by limitation on
next June is. In the old consortium
the American representation was
limited to four large New York banks
and no other American banks could
secure an interest in Chinese loans.
The thirty-seven banks which are
to compose the proposed American
group are said to represent all the
geographical sections of the United
States and the same principle is said
to obtain in the group of nations rep
resented.
While the present organization is
a four-power group the United
States, Great Britain. France and

try are able to participate. it is not
