BRAND MAY RESIGN
OVER VATICAN ISSUE
Makes Threat in Senate After
Debate Over Rumored
Negotiations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 15.-'1f this de-
bate on the resumption Of relations
with the Vatican is not closed to-
morrow it will have to be concluded
in the absence of the government"
Premier BRAND made this threat in
the senate today when many Of the
senators, who intend to take part in
the debate refused to yield. The gov
ernment had already asked the SEN
ate, without making it a question of
confidence, that the discussion be
closed, but the senate refused the re-
quest by a vote of 100 to- 100-this be-
ing practically a defeat for the gov
ernment.
M. BRAND, in his closing address,
left no doubt that if the debate con-
tinued beyond tomorrow he would not
90 to London to meet Premier Lloyd
George, but would resign.
The royalist senator. Jules Della
have, in the course Of the debate, at
tackled M. BRAND. saying that he had
gone to Washington. for the purpose
of entering into an alliance with
America against Japan and Great
Britain.
M. BRAND replied: "It is regrettable
to hear repeated in the upper French
chamber calumnies spread by our
enemies while I was at Washington.
You are repeating the falsehoods."
The attack came when Senator
Delahave charged the premier with
negotiating with the Vatican, without
the knowledge Of the chamber, en-
gaging in secret diplomacy while he
had submitted gracefully to Washing
to.,,, v.s.l diplomacy.

CHINESE BANKERS
WOULD MAKE LOAN
Offer to Lend Money to Pay
Japan for Shantung
Railway

Native Chinese bankers have come
forward with the offer to lend to the
Chinese government the amount of
money required to pay Japan as an
indemnity for the Shantung railway,
it was learned from an authoritative
source today.
In the committee meeting sitting
on the Shantung question 1t is un-
derstood that Japan has agreed to
settle this issue by turning ever the
entire control of this important rail-
road for large consideration, which
10 to be decided upon later by a spe-
cial commission. China has already
offered to pay the indemnity by direct
payment and she has now the oppor-
tunity of showing her good faith by
the offer of the Chinese bankers.
Japan, on the other hand, has en-
deavored to put into the agreement
the stipulation that the railroad in
demnity should be paid by a loan
made from Japan with the railroad
being used as security.
According to an authoritative speak
er, the Chinese delegation to the con-
ference, backed by the Peking gov
ernment is greatly opposed to this
method. It feels that were a loan
to be made from Japan she might be
able to put such stipulations onto the
loan that the result would be that she
would again have actual control of
the railroad as formerly.
The Chinese also believe that IL
Japan were perfectly sincere in want
ing only an indemnity for their for
mer holdings she would be willing to
take the money straight from China
and not demand that the payment be
involved In such loan.
The delegates are understood to be
extremely pleased at having q con-
crete offer from the bankers Of China,
and they feel that with this backing
the government can put its case be-
fore the committee in such Q way
that they can be hopeful Of q favor
able outcome OF the issue.
The original capitaf6f the Sham
tung railway was 54.000.000 marks.
