 officials on a possible reparation mora torium. the visit of the German 1 fnancier attracted widespread at 1 tenton which compelled denials by i Washington officialdom that the visit ] concerned Americas position on a moratorium.
 In face of the most vigorous de nials. both by Secretary StimSon and ! Ambassador de Martino of Italy, a rumor that Italy had been denied
 a loan because of state department objection continued to spread during last week in official and financial circles.
 The report of the Italian loan was linked to Franco-Italian naval ne
 eotiations on settling differences eH-
 isting since the London conference. II was contended by some writers that the Initod States had denied
 loan to bring pressure on Prime
 Minister Mussolni Of Italy, to force
 settlement with France and clear
