New York. Doc. 1S.-J. P. Morgan and Company tonight issued statement declared they had notified the German RrnbAsador to this country "that it was impossible for us to discuss or consider loan to Germany unless and until the rcparat1ons question was settled"
 This statement was isued, 1t was learned, to set at rest what were de- seribed as highly fantaStica1 stories'' which have been published regarding the possibility of the fiotatiOn fO an inter national loan to Germany, estimated as htgh as Sl,590 .oeo, 900.
 The statement follows:

Bostcn, Dec. 1S.-Seven persons were injured, several seriously, when the Providence express of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad left the rails at Hyde Park station late to- day. Miss Josephine Hadisch, of New Bergen, N. J., passenger, and Fire man Joseph A. Mclaughlin, of Dedhan, suffered the most serious injuries.
 The locomotive and tender turned over. but the ten passenger cars were held almost upright by the iron fence at the side of the track against which they crashed

As the cars plung- ed from the track a section of rail was torn from it's place and pierced the Sfde Of a coach, pinning the girl to her seat at the other side of the car.

tions problem to the Washington admin istration. While no official comment was made concerning MT. Morgan's, visit to Secretary Hughes in Washington Mast week. It is understood the financier merely gave the secretary his views on conditions in Europe, whence he recent ly returned after six months visit. Mir. Morgan was member of an interna- tional committee of bankers which met in London last June to discuss the Ques- tion of financial assistance to Germany
 Local international bankers are said to believe that before any loan is made by this country to Germany there must be not G=!y settlement of the repaIa- tionS question, but a sincere effort made by Germany to balance her budget. re- wise her banking system and stabilize her currency, which has been enormous ly inflated. If these conditions are not met small loan of short duration may be made through local bankers, but the possibility of such an undertaking is said to be very remote" at this time.
 While President Hardings cabinet is known to have had the German repara- tions question under discussion at re- cent meetings, local bankers do not be- lieve that the administration will offer it's services as a referee on the repara- tions problem, in view of it's definite re- fuSal to consider SuoS action at the request of the German government some time ago. The inquiry of Dr. Wied- feldt is believed to be the first direct pro posal made, to American bankers for as- Sist2nce by the German government.
 In his report to the international committee of bankers, MT. Morgan as. 1 serted the American investor would bt interested in German obligations only if it were satisfactorily established:
 First, that such a loan should be a l the requests and, would be for the bene fit of the allied nations.

BRITISH CHANCELLOR OF
 ExcHEQUER SAILS FOR U. s.

London, Dec. IS (By the A. P.)- Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the ex- chequer, had a long audience with the king at Buckingham palace today, prior to sailing for New York aboard the Ma jestic on December 27.' The chancellor will be accompanied on his mission. which relates to the British debt to the United States. by his wife and daugh- ter.
 There is no diminution Of interest here in the possibility of America talk ing more active part in European economic affairs and the coincidence of Chancellor Baldwin and the American ambassador. George Harvey, being in Washington at the same time, but to- day the British press seems rather re- luctantly realizing that the large hopes of American participation in the rep arations question and the possibility of q loan to Germany are little more than an imposing air castle built upon very slender foundations, and that specula- tiOn has travelled very far in advance of the facts.
 Those who have been largely respon- ] sfble for erecting this .edihce out of the activities of Ambassador Child at Lau- same, the meetings of the American l ambassadors in London and, lastly, the announcement of Colonel Harvey's visit to the United States, are now engaged in declaring that the situation is really little changed and that the American policy Is not altered. The press points out that Europe is sorely in need of capital, which Amer ica possesses in super abundance, but that the conditions which would war rant America coming to Europe's aid nc more exist now than they did at the time of the bankers conference is Paris last June and that unless some quite unexpected development should come of the Paris conference in Jan nary there will be no hope of stabilizinl the mark or fixing definitely the amount of reparations Germany will be required to pay. Therefore there is nothing tt jusefy American bankers, let alone tn, American government, in raising . loan in behalf of Germany.
 Furthermore, 1t is feared that the aS Iherence of the Bonar Law adn4nastra
 tion to the policy of the Balfour not, will make the path of the Baldwin mis
 sion much harder. The utmost nov which seems to be hoped for is that new international conference at Wash
 ington may be the outcome of the pres ent. agitation and that such confer
 ence, if called, might lead to som, change in French policy which would make American intervention in Europ much easier.
