WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.

IN THE COURSE of the Senate banking hearing to-day, Senator Robert Taft, the Ohio Republican charged that the Ex- port and Import Bank made loans which "may well be used to finance a European war without Congress knowing anything about it."

He asked Senator Jesse Jones if the bank had been used "not as a banking proposition, but as

an arm of foreign policy."

Senator Jones replied:

would not say that."

The committee then voted to ex-i tend the Recovery Finance Corporn- tion until June 30, 1941, but post- poned consideration of extension of the Commodity Credit Corporation,| and the Export and Import Bank.

Senator Jones said that China had repaid $1.400.000 of the $37,000,000 | Ioaned to her, adding: "I think the Joans are good. The Chinese are honest people and have always pald their debts."

Replying to Senator Tatt's question as to whether President Roosevelt ordered the Chinese loans, Senator Jones said: "I never talked to him about it."

He added that he did not think they made any loans in viointion of the Neutrality and Jobusun Acts.--- United Press.
