NEW YORK, - February 27.—Less than $818,000,000 of the original total | of $2,587,000,000 in loans to the al lied governments in Europe issued outstandin; This was announced by Thomas W. Lamont of J. P. Morgan & Co., who said it has frequently been said that American bankers were urging can- cellation of the allied debts on the theory that they are heavy holders of European bonds. “So many inaceurate and exag- gerated statements have been made as to_the amount of European gov- ernment loans now held by private investors in this country,” Mr. La- mont eaid, “that it may be of ad- vantage to throw some light on the situation. Statements as to the amount of foreign government in- debtedness held by Americans have been as high as five billion dollars. . “For such statements as these there are no_supporting facts whatsoever. “Of the total amount of these al lied government loans still outstand ing, the amount by bankers themselves, as shown by a careful canwass, s negligible. Bapkers are merchants. They buy secubities be- lieved by them to be sound and sell them to investors. In the same way these foreign loans.were distributes among the investors.of the country who still hold them.” Mr. Lamont added that this sub. ject was entirely apart from the i Gebtedness of Great Britain, Fran and Italy to the United States g0 ernment.
