DISCUSSING JOINT LOAN TO CHINA
ANGLO-AMERICAN TALKS IN WASHINGTON
(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH").
Washington, March 1.
It was authoritatively learned here to-day that official circles are considering the possibility of several Governments contributing financial assistance to China, which might serve as a substitute for the aid which Japan has reportedly offered to China.
This was learned following a lengthy conference to-day between the British Ambassador Sir Ronald Lindsay, and the United States Under Secretary of State, Mr. William Phillips.
Some observers have expressed the belief that any possible collaboration would include Japan as well as other Governments.
Also it la authoritatively under- stood that the United Staten policy favours collective dealing with China, in accordance with the Nine Power Treaty and Interna- tional Bankers Consortium 1920.
of
This policy, it is considered, would be preferable to single- handed aid from one Power, which might result in exclusive privilege for that Power contrary to the spirit of the Open Door policy.
From circumstances following the Lindsay-Phillips conference it was indicated that Great Britain had taken the initiative in the discus- sions, which was obviously due to Great Britain's large financial stake In China.

On the other hand, experts in December and January showed marked advance, and there was great activity in constructional industries. But the International trading and monetary situation continued to be most discouraging. and left us dependent still upon a domostic rovival,
As a result of all these factors, It seemed that we might well hope to hold the present position, and, Indeed, make some fair advance upon it, but it was unlikely that there could be any spectacular leap forward In the near future.- British Wireless.
