HONG KONG CHINESE CABLE TO TRUMAN

President Truman, U.S. State Secretary George Marshall and the U.S. Congress were urged in a cablegram from Hong Kong yesterday by several Chinese democratic organisations in the Colony to "resolutely turn down" China's application for a big loan.

The telegram was signed by prominent Chinese generals, fo- cluding Marshal Li Chai-aum und General Teal Ting-kal, and pro. fessors and scholars who pledged that the future coolitian govern. ment will not recognise any loans from the United States.

The message read:—

*The National Government, controlled by a dictatorial clique of the Kuomintang, his urgently appealed to you for a big loan. We hope you will resolutely furn down the application,
