Tokyo, To-day.

Following consultations between the Minis- tries concerned, it is understood that Japan will shortly reply formally to Britain concerning the proposed international Chinese loan, expressing regret that the Chinese currency reform, which greatly affects Sino-Japanese economic relations, was carried out without prior consultation with Japan, and declaring that a reform based on for- eign credits will weaken China's power of self- rehabilitation and sow the seed of foreign con- trol, for which reasons Japan is not in a position to agree to the loan.
