BERLIN, Oct. 25-A statement launched by the Government and in dustrial leaders, who are wrestling with the problem of obtaining for eign loan on the basis of the present export boom. that suggestions of as sistance have been received from several American sources is being featured by the newspapers. It is stated that the suggestions come from representative of banking syn dicates ''second in importance only to the Morgans and the National City group" whose representatives are in Europe and will be in Berlin within the next few days. '
 It is difficalt to ascertain frNm this observation point how much importance should be given to these American reports. American finan- cial circles are better able to state whether any. serious project on a large scals to relieve the sGefman situation is, in prospect. sa
 German industry, which has offer ed to put it's resources. at the Gov ernment's service for Tits own sake as wei las for patriotic motives, will have something tangible to offer such American representative as se- curity for loan, in the form of payments for great quantities of man ufactured goods which now are be- ing ordered by foreign purshasers. The railroads already are blocked with export traffic, and virtually all factories producing for export now have orders ahead for several months.
