WASHINGTON, June 11 (Copyright, 921).—Preaident Harding feels that the Administration has passed the first milestone In the journeys of under-/ standing and good feeling to be trav- elled by the Govérnment and private business) The President announced that the Government here haa received for Itself the merits of each loan. But it does mean that every loan issued will have had in advance the tacit approval of the Government in the sense that the Harding Administra tion will have given the opportuni to express an objection and thus kil! the loan if it deems the project against the interest of the people as a whole. In this way the Government wil! keep track of all loans or enterprises which may in any way take funds out of the United States, ‘The Harding Administration feels that foreign Gov- rnments borrowing money here ought to agree that the sums received sil be used Indirectly to pay off priv obligations to America or to financ.

Prior to that time, when America was neutral, the big banking institutions of this country lent large sums to Great Britain and France, and though the German sympathizers did all in their power to prevent the, floating of such loans, calling them unneutral acts, the United States Gov- ernment, nevertheless, didn't interfere in the slightest, giving neither encour- agement nor support to the loar | Now, however, the Harding Admin- istration has decided to become an) |nctive participant in the situation for entirely different reasons, The politi- | cal aspect of foreign loans has disap- peared and at present It Is entirely a! | question of world economies, and pure ticularly a matter of domestic protec tion against the uninterrupted flow of American capital to foreign countries ut attractive rates of Interest.
