U. S. Suspends Loans
To Country's Exporters
Secretary Houston Requests
Withdrawal of Financial Aid;
War SuruIus Exhausted

WASHINGTON, May 10.-tlnanciat
aid for exporters was withdrawn bg
the government to-day. At the request
of Secretary of the Treasury Houston,
the War Finance Corporation suspend
ed further advances TO aid in ship
ments abroad except such as already
have been authorized.
Mr. Houston said that if more loans
were made by the War Finance Cor
poration, the government would again
have to enter the borrowing field. This,
he said. did not seem advisable under
existing circums tances.
The corporation has loaned the en-
tire amount of its capital stock Of
$500 100000 as we'll as its surplus A
continuation of loans, Mr. Houston
said, would compel a new issue OF War
Finance Corporation bonds.
The Secretary said he believed the
purposes Of the. law which created the
corporation had been served to the
extent that exporters were having no
visible difficulty in keeping a continu-
Gus stream of commodities moving
overseas.
