One is that the Department of State is anxious to avoid the im presefon that it has sufficient influence with private bankers to persuade them make loans or to guarantee them when once they are made. and the other is the delicacy which the banks themselves feel.about Government reg ulation of private loans. The latter has been suggested by various mem bers of Congress as a means of bring ing European debtors to i ni while the objective in this case of self imposed restraint now might m with the approval of the bankers, would nevertheless establish an ant_precedent involving a good deal of red tape later on, especially as | now is expected, when loans some day open up on a lurge scale to various for eign interests needing American cap ital.
