WASHINGTON, January 2o.-Agree-

day that Japan has approved the policy
in principle, but the governments of
Great Britain and France still have the
matter under consideration.
Thirty-two American banks located
at various cities. are to participate in
the loan. the amount OF which is yet
undetermined. Contracts covering the
amounts of the money to be used for
the specific purposes outlined by the
Chinese government will be drawn up
and they must be approved by the
State Department.
The government then will assist tho
banks in financing the loan, but II
will not guarantee 1t, as it Is not re-
garded as desirable that the power Of
the government be invoked for collec-
