TO CHINA
-Ten Millions
** London, Dec, 10. Britain has agreed in principle to lend £10,000,000 to China.
Announcing this decision, in the Commons to-day, Mr. Butler, Under- Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said an advance of £5,000,000 would be made to the Chinese Stabilisation Fund... The remaining £5,000,000 would be made available for pur- chases in any part of the sterling
pred..
The Chinese Government has been Informed of the decision and re- quested to make arrangements for the early negotiation of the preliminary
technical agreement on which the posalbility of these further credits depends.
Explaining the necessity for the sterling area proviso Mr. Butler said the British Government had to con- serve gold and Amerien dollar re- sources for essential war needs of thu sterling area, hence they could not offer to China American dollars of sterling which could be converted inlo dollars.--Router.

It is claimed that this method would avoid violating either the Johnson or Neu- trality Acts—Reitter.

Mt. Hull declared that he only said that discussions were going on con cerning food relief. He reiterated that he had nover heard of any question of credits being discussed. He refused to say whether present plans envisage sending of food sup-
