NO GERMAN LOAN
FROM THE NATIONS
international Committee Absndons Plan
Because of Failure TO Get Clear
Report from Germany.

Paris. June $ (By the Associated
Press All idea OF an internationel
loan TO Germany has been given up by
the committee Of bankers and they are
meeting to-day to agree upon the form
of their report to this effect which will
be submitted to the reparations com
mission.
The prevailing conviction among
bankers is that two things are funia-
mental TO loan: First, that there
must be a unanimity among the len I ?
ers which were TO include all the coun-
tries represented on the repsrations
commission; second. that the credit
basis Of Germany must be outlined
clearly.
The bankers look upon the repara-
tions commissions reply TO their recent
note as an official declaration that
does not exist among the
prospective leaders, and therefore feel
that plans for loan cannot be ad-
vised
