Special Despatch to THE New YonK HrnAIp.
washington, ID. C.. Nov. 90.
Nearly 500 concerns established en-
tirely by Americans and American capi-
tai are operating in China. They are
vitality interested in the conference de-
termination on Far Eastern questions.
American concerns represent approxi-
mately six per cent. OF all the foreign
firms doing business in the Chinese re-
public. The nationals of more than
eighteen countries have branches and
trading companies in China.
In 1920 alone more than 400 Amer
lean concerns opened for business In
China. In 1914 there were only 1876 Amer
lean companies there. The growing
friendship of Chinese business men for
American companies, and their seeming
preference for American made goods Is
causing concern to the business men and
exporters Of England. France and Ger
many. according to records of the De-
partmert OF Commerce.
More than 1000 American business
men are devoting their entire time to
managing their concerns In China A
far larger number of American manu-
facturers and exporters have direct in
tcrest In the republic through q con-
th.uous exchange of commodities and
raw materials. In addition American
financiers are interested through loans
made to the Government. A large num-
ber of Americans hold bonds of the Chi
nese republic. The exact number Is not
known. but II is understood to be well
into the hundreds.

Essen Captain Of Industry
Declines to Be Lloyd
Georges Guest.
ALL MYSTERY TO LONDON
British Government Circles
Deny Favoring Visit and
No Americans Seen.

Special Cable to THE New YonK HERALD.
Copyright, 1881, bp THE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin. Nov. 2c.
The purpose Of Hugo Stinnes's trip
to London is to discuss far reaching
plans for the development of Russian
resources by England, America and
Germany His visit there is the Gull
mination OF a long series of discus
sions in which prominent Americans
have taken part. 1t was denied here
by persons initiated into the secrets OF
the mysterious Essen industrialist that
German reparation loan Is one of the
topics of Stinnes's London programme.
The first arrangements for the visit
were made a month ago. before the
industrial credit arrangement was an
acute issue in German politics. It was
said that while It was true that the
invitation to SHINES to go to London
did not emanate from Lloyd George,
personally, still It originated in Eng
land and with the Prime Minister'S
consent.
At first the idea was that SHINES
should pass a week end with Lloyd
George as his guest In the country.
favorable reception accorded him at
Spa in connection with the reparation
conference there, declined to accept
this invitation and said he would foot
his own bill at a London hotel. At
the same time he made the stipulation
that his proposals be given real con-
sideration. which was agreed to by his
English friends.
It was said that the visit Of Reginald
McKenna, formerly British Chancellor Of
the Exchequer and now leading London
banker, to America recently could be
logically considered a part Of the ten
dency toward the big International ac-
ton of which Stinnes's London trip also
is part.
In Berlin some persons go SO far as
to predict that the reparation riddle may
be solved with an economic alliance be-
tween England, America and Germany,
profiting from Russia's development.
SHINES Is not expected to return to
Berlin before the end Of this week, but
meanwhile his friends continue playing
nc German steel mans game OF mys-
terry by pointing out that it is his policy
never to tell the public what he IS doing
when doing it.
1t was intimated here that several I'm
oortant Americans, some of whom have
visited Germany recently. could give the
details of these Russian proposals which
the taciturn SHINES declines to make
known.

GER MANY'S CREDITS
HINGE ON ARMS CUT
Wirth Fears Worlds Cash Will
BE Swallowed by Military
Rivalry.
STINNES'S TRIP PRIVATE
ReparatiOns Commission Tried
to Assure Gold Payments,
Tt Is Revealed.

BERLIN, Nov. 20 (Associated Press).-
Chancellor Wirth to-day informed the
TaSaion Committee Of the Reichstag
that the Allied Reparations Commission
visited Berlin to get guarantees for pay
ments In gold Of the January and Febru-
ary reparations. There were no nego-
tiations concerning moratorium, as the
commission declined to discuss such a
contingency until the January and Feb
ruary payments had been met.
According to the Chancellor the COM
mission scrutinized minutely the credit
situation of the German industries and
its members were disappointed because
a detailed statement of this could not be
given.
DR.. Wfrth admitted that the Govern
ment could not ignore the question Of OBJ
talning credit facilities from the indus
trialists and from abroad. The question
or credit. he said. was bound up with the
Washington conference. What was
wanted was not to allow the loose cash
on the world market to slip down into
the great gulf of competition in arma-
ments.
The Chancellor said he looked forward
with certain amount of confidence to
long term credit operations. Arguing
that short term credit OF two or three
months for meeting the January and
February obligations would prove ruin
Gus to German exchange DR.. Wirth as
serted that the Government would con-
tinue It's efforts to get credits even If in
dustry refused to assist. He hoped
however. that the industrialists would
help the Government.
Emphasis was laid by the Chancellor
on how difficult it had been to persuade
the Preparations Commission of the diff
fculties the Government had encountered
in obtaining credits. He confirmed that
the visit to London Of Hugo SHINES, the
capitalist, was a private one and said
the imperial Government had no intlu-
ence in 1t.
LONDON. Nov. 22.-The Board Of
Trade announces that the German Gov
ernment has doubled the premium levied
when gold duties under the customs tar
iff are paid in paper currency. Thus
1000 paper marks must be paid for each
hundred marks in gold. instead of 1000
marks as previously.
