Canada TO Borrow
S40,000,00O Here
Before July 1
Negotiations Which We're
Dropped Last Spring Re-
samed and Probable In
ierest Rate 7 Per Cent

Informal discussions relative to Do
minion of Canads financing ia this mar
KIT are going on la banking circles,
and the opinion was expressed yester-
day that loan of $40 GOO l90 was like
ly 20 be arranged in New York before
July l TO take care of maturities and
replenish the Deminion'a American
balances.
Early this year negotiations for a
dominion loan were carried on between
Canadisa financial representatives and
local bankers With view TO arrang ny
for the $25, 900. coo Dominion note ma
turity of April l and the $15,00oo00
maturity Of August /. The representa-
tlves of the Canadian government were
told by the bankers they would have
TO pay at least Z H per cent for the
funds needed, so the plan for 8 lean
was abandoned and the $4,000 900
April maturity was met through the
shipment of approximately $10,000,00
in gold from Ottawa and by drawing
against the Dor inion's balances here,
The August / maturity of SIS, ,000,a
is yet TO be provided for and accord
ing TO the view Of the bankers this
will likely be taken care of through a
refunding operation which will at the
same time provide Canada with funds
fer building up it's balances here. To
do SO, fotation Of $4,000, 600 would
be necessary.
The Dominion Of Canada has always
enjoyed the best of credit here. and
the belief was expressed yesterday that
with money market conditions hecom-
ing easier 8 loan of the amount men
toned could be arranged without
difficulty on per cent basis and per-
haps less. Ordinarily Canada would
replenish it's New York balances
through the regular channels of the ex-
change market. but the premium Of
approximately 10 per cent on the
American dollar in Canada makes such
an operation too costly.

wording OF the premiere letter would
make it impossible for him to refuse

The prime minister's letter was re-

generally believed that the govern.

which would be used for this purpose

Moderate Sim Feiners are repre-
sented as being extremely anxious that
De Valera accept the invitation. They
can see no possibility OF ending the
conflict under present conditions and
they fear terrible results if an inten-
