DEVELOPMENT OF CHINA'S $180,000,000 LOAN TO SOUTH HONGKONG WATEKE DEFENDE

NATURAL RESOURCES. FOREIGN CO-OPERATION.

The full reports of the proceedings of the Washington Conference include the following statement by Mr. Alfred Sze:- "At the inerting of this committed on January 19th, Baron Shideharn on behalf of the Japanese" delegation expressed a hope that China might be disposed to extend to foreigners, as far as possible, the opportunity of co-operation in the development, and utilization of China's natural resources, and added that any spontaneous declaration of her,policy in that direction would be received with mach gratification.

CHINA. NEGOTIATIONS CALLED OFF LAST MAY.

The New York Times, of January 19th, [contained the following:---.

"The Chinese Government, conacions of mutual advantage which foreign trade brings, has hitherto pursued an establish ed policy to promote its development. Of this trade, products of nature, of course, form an important part I view of this fact, as well as of the re. quirements of her large and increasing population, and the growing needs of her industries, China, on her part has been steadily encouraging the develop ment of her natural resources, not only by permitting under her laws the parti cipation of foreign capital, but by other practical means at her disposal, Thus in affording facilities and fixing rates for the transportation on her railways of such products of nature as well as of other articles of merchandise, she has always followed and observed the prip ciple of strict equality of treatment "be- tween all foreign shippers.

There is no prospect of a $100,000,000 loan being negotiated in the United States for the benefit of the South China or Canton Government, it was stated here last night. Reports that such a pan was under consideration and that it might be floated in Chiengo were contaibed in cable dispatches from Shanghai yesterday.
