A—06 »» AGENT OF CHINESE TO ASK U. S LOAN Envoy Seeks $360,000,000. Says Transaction Would Remedy Depression. By the Associated Press. SAN _FRANCISCO, October 31.— Judge Paul Linebarger, legal adviser to the Chines> government, arrived here lay en route to Washington as a ial envoy of President Chiang Kai- k, to negotiate with the American Government for a loan of 1.000,000,000 ounces of silver, worth about $360,000,000. ‘This loan, Judge Linebarger said, will | be used to rehabilitate the whole of | Ohina by diverting miilions of men en- | g.!d in war into peaceful production. le said he would ask Congress to au- thorize a 50-year loan at 2 per cent interest. | Honor Would Be Security. The proposal of China is that actual silver coins. no longer nece as & foundation for Ameri~en curiency, b2 melted into bars and shipped to the| Oriental republic, Lo be reconverted into | money and dealt out by an American | n to the working people of | China for labor. | Asked what security China proj to offer for such an huge loan, Linebarger said: | “China’s national honor would be the best security. In addition to that. she would pledge repayment on the basis of increased domestic revenues and' customs_duties derived from re- vised tariff schedules.” Silver-hungry Chin: barger said. would money by building roa: d | udge Judge Line- st_utilize the Then manu- | facturing and farmi ‘would share. Presently, he said, resuits would return to America by heavy purchase of Amer- ican goods. Cited as Depression Remedy. China, believes the American Gov- ernment, not needing its surplus silver, could well afford to lend it to & friendly power at 2 per cent, not merely as a m:ans of staving ofl bolshevism, which the envoy asseits is inevitable without the loan, but as a means of creating customers out of one-fourth the in- habitants of the earth. It is the opinion of Chinese econ- omists, Linebarger said, that a silver loan would not only stimulate China into activity that would drive pauper- ism and despair from that republic, but would immediately reopen American silver mines to replenish the supply. It would, Judge Linebarger believes go far toward end ng depression in the United States. The United States, he pointed out, has a peculiar opportunity ! of which Great Britain and Japan are envious, but concerning which they can do nothing, lacking necessary silver. Say Philippines Would Profit. Credit loans, which they might pos- sibly give, would not serve the same practical use in China as a vast quantity of silver. China’s representative argued further that the loan would favor the Philip- pines, where there are nearly 100,000 Chinese. It wculd greatly stimulate trade between China and the Philip- | pines, he aid. | Assuming China gets the loan and it has the favorable efect expected, | Linebarger said his country would make | certain demands of the powers which would include abolition of special ! ed to Police—Duplicate Key }]fl\'fl!g?.‘ to foreigners, removal of oreign gunboats from the Yangtse River, equitable treaties, tariff adjust- ments more faverable to China and final suspension of extraterritoriality and foreign concessions not based on | Justice. | Ten_th-usand people attended a con- venticle In memory of th» Covenanters. which was held recently at Carfin, Scot- land.
