Perhaps such proposals Will be maze
at the second economic conference
which opened Monday at Geneva, Of

The French idea seems to suggest

sums in French francs have found en-
ploymer1t in Germany, but during Ger
many's swingback toward conservatism,
the French and German capital ran 9

Switzerland and France.
Funds are now slowly drifting back
to Germany, but the French owners VIII
not risk large sums until the political
situation is crystal clear. There is the
same reluctance to admit foreign obi

there is no machinery for floating loans,
Frances reply to the QUESTIONABLE Of
the economic conference reveals in part
the French views. 1t recommends closer
cooperation between banks leading ur
TO the constitution Of an international
institute of settlements conceived on the
lines Of the Bank Of international Set

makes plea for more accurate produce

larry pertaining to agriculture. It also
suggests better distribution of credits
as a means Of favoring trade.

FAILURE OF CHINESE
SILVER LOAN IS SEEN
Senator Pittman Doubts Benefit
From Individual Credit by
United States.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Hopes of China to secure loan OF
approximately $360.000,0o0 in silver
bullion from this Government appeared
here today doomed to certain failure.
Senator Key Pittman of Nevada,
chairman Of the subcommittee Of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
dealing with commercial treaties with
China, on his return to the Capital
said thus far he has had no overtures
from Judge Linebarger. now in the
city, prrportedly as a special adviser to
the Nationalist government, with the
specific purpose of arranging the loan.
Speaking unoficially, Senator Pitt
man declared the present problem with
respect to silver is one of oversupply
rather than overproduction, and that
he would not approve any action that
could not promise to combat this Ill.
An individual loan from this country to
China would not supply any remedial
measures, he said, as 1t would offer no
guarantee that other nations compet-
inc with this country for China's trade,
would not dump additional boards OF
the metal on the markets of the world,
thus adding to the acuteness of the
present situation.
likely to take any action without con.
slilting with Its subcommittee, which
has made q long study Of the economical
situation in China, and testimony Of
fered before this subcommittee has
been predominantly to the effect that
such loan as proposed would be an
ill-advised move.
Solution of the problem, according to
Senator Pittman, would seem to lie IN
the granting of loan to China not by an
individual power, but by an alliance OF
nations having important commercial
relations with it. Furthermore, he feels,
there should be no lump award, nut
rather q sum to be made available ana
expended only on the recommendation
representatives Of the lending nations.
The Senate subcommittee hopes 70
conclude the taking of testimony short
ly after the Christmas holidays. Only
q few Eastern Seaboard experts remain
to be heard.
