j. s. LOAN REVIEW
MAY Be CLEARED
Suggestion to Eliminate
State Department Respon-
sibiIity Is Made.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

If the sole obstacle to the Govern
ments policy of reviewing foreign
loans is the Inference that where the
State Department does not object 1t
is in effect approving a loan, the sug-
gestion has been advanced that the
Governments position can be made
clear in every case so that govern
mental responsibility or guarantee can
be eliminated.
The discussion over the State De.
partment's policy arises from several
sources:
First, there are bankers who think
tn Government should not pass on
loans any more than it does on any
domestic transaction.
View Of Congress Members.
Second, there are members of Con.
gress who think the Government
should call a halt on the lending OF
money to foreign countries and that
it is the Governments business to
protect the investor.
Third, there are groups who think
friction between governments leading
to international ill-Will will result ii
interest payments are not fOrthcom
ing in the future due, for instance, to
European political disturbances or diff
ficulties over the transfer of repara'
ton money from Germany to the al
lied powers.
Fourth, there are officials in the
Government, including the Depart
ment Of State. who feel iEat wal
debts due the United States viii not
be paid unless the State Department
continues to exercise a veto power
against foreign loans with countries
that default on their payments OF
refuse to agree to pay.
Two Groups Cooperate.
Lately, those who want the State
Departments restrictions cast of
have joined with those who say the
state Department action is being
used in the nature of n guarantee for
loans approved. so that the admins
tration has been compelled to inquire
carefully into just what are the
effects of it's policy.
The state Department has made
it clear to the bankers from the be
ginning that when it does not object
