JAPAN .OUTI.INES HER POLICY REGARDING LOANS TO CHINA (By United Press.) Tokio, Dec. 20. (By Mnll )—The foreign office has issued two state- ‘ments dealing with loans to China, by the government and by private eapitalists. The statement in regard to government loans says: “Mischievous reports of Japanese activities in China, more particularly with regard to the granting of loans, have for some time past been in cir- culation and have imputed to the Japanese government intentions which are entirely foreign to it. For obylous reasons, the Japanese gov- ernment cannot undertake to dis- courage financial and economic enter- prises of their nationals in China, 80 long as those enterprises are the natural and legitimate outgrowth of special relations between the two meighboring and friendly nations. Nor is the Japanese government at all receding from its readiness to render needed financial assistance to ©€hina, consistently with the terms of all the declarations and engagements to ‘which it is a party, should the general security and welfare of China call for such assistance. “At the same time, it fully realizes that loans supplied to China, under the existing conditions of domestic strife in that country, are liable to create misunderstandings on the part of either of the contending factions and to interfere with the re-estab- lishment of peace and unity in China, 8o essential to her own interests as well as to the lnterests of the foreign powers. “Accordingly, the Japanesé'” ernments decided - to vtthhold financial assistance to China; ! Hkly, in its opiniom, ‘to udd to the complications of her internal situa- tion, believing that this policy will be cordially participated in-by all the powers interested in Chipa.’” fae.second statement in regard to loans by private capitalists was siven out only in Japanese, of which the following is a translation: “In view of the fact that the in~ vestment of Japanese capital ia China and Siberia affect to a great extent the diplomatic and financial policy of 'the state, the Japanese government has determined to es- tablish definite principles regarding the investment of Japanese capital in those regions which are to be strictly enforced hereafter: “1, Whenever any Japanese capi- talist opens megotiations with a gov- ernment, central or local, in China or Siberia, regarding loans which are to be utilized for political purposes, he is requested to-consult with the for- eign office, Japanese embassies or legations, or the Japanese consulates. ‘When consulated, the foreign office will at once refer the matter to the department of finance or other gov- ernmental offices concerned, and will glve necessary instructions to the capitalist concerned. 2. It any capitalist opens nego- tiations without awaiting govern- mental instructions or acts against them, the Japanese goveérnment may refrain from giving any necessary protection for the” upital thus in- vested. 3, In accordance with the nature ot the loans, the foreign office may arrange 'for the convenience of the capitalists so: that they will be able to consult directly with the depart- ment of finance or any other offices concerned.” [ e MILLIONAIRE MAYOR WILL REFORM DETROIT, MICH.
