teWS PROPOSED
BY AMERICAN BANKS
Buenos Aires, Nor.' 27.?A New
York group of bankers has informed
the'Argentine government that a definite
proposal will be submitted in the
early part of next month for a loan
' to Argentina of $50,000,000, according
to official announcement made
yesterday. This offer, it is understood,
will be merely a repetition of
the proposed $50,000,000 loan concerning
which negotiations were entered
into last September.
The character of the announcement
at first due to erronerous interpreta
tion, was that a much larger loan was
contemplated for the purpose of consolidating
Argentina's public debt,
which amounted on July 31, last, to
640,000,000 paper pesis requiring a
loan of approximately $200,000,000 at
the present rate of exchange. It was
stated in the official announcement
that the American-bankers had in addition
to the offer forthcoming next
month, "also expressed the desire to
place a loan which would enable the
Argentine government to realize a
plan to consolidate the public debt."
On account of the amount involved
for this purpose bankers here do not
believe that such a loan is in immediate
contemplation.
New York, Nov. 27.?Members of
banking firms which have b'een prominent
in previous South American
financing tonight denied knowledge of
a proposed $50,000,000 loan to the
Argentine government as reported in
a dispatch from Buenos Aires.
They added, however, that one of
the smaller banking groups here
might be seeking business in Argentina
and that it was possible that the
activities of such a group would not
be known generally in financial circles.

ROOT'S PROGRAM
GAINS POPULARITY
Washington, Nov. 27.?The full
. significance of the American "four
points" proposed by Elihu Root and
adopted by the ,arms conference to
guide its discussions relaj'->g to
China, is coming to be better \ Herstood
as the Far Eastern negotiations
pass through the "accepted-in-principle"
stage and approach decisions on
specific subjects.
At first regarded as largely a reiteration
of general principles whieh
had long been sanctioned on paper
by all the powers, the "four points"
now have, in fact, become the foundation
on whieh China's friends in the
conference hope to erect a system of
reforms that will in many respects
reverse completely the practices of the
nnst nnH nwcont
In this far reaching development
the American delegation has taken
the leadership by making known in a
decisive manner that it regards the
Root resolution as something vastly
more than a few finely turned diplomatic
phrases. The American position
is that in accepting the "four
points," the participating nations have
bound themselves solemnly to apply
In a concrete way the long professed
principles of fair dealing toward
China and to proceed without subterfuge
to give China as great a degree
of indeper lence as conditions will
warrant.
Powerful support from outside the
American delegation has strengthened
that position and in the present
discussion of tariff autonomy, extraterritorial
and postal rights the
trend of the negotiations never has
been permitted to stray far from the
Root platform. In every case proposed
solutions have been scrutinized
in the light of appropriate sections of
the "four points" with the result that
the four American principles have
become, in fact, as well as in name
the dominating element of the discussions.
How this method of procedure will
affect such troublesome problems as
Shantung, Manchuria and the "21 demands"
if they come before the conference
is yet to be demonstrated. It
isr-pointed out Root,/principle*
were cast in broad terms in their reference
to Chinese integrity, the open
door and special privileges, but no
one who can speak authoritatively has
been willing to volunteer as anterpretation
of these references as they
apply to specific questions not yet before
the conference.
With the questions of extraterritorial
and postal rights to be disposed
of tomorrow through specific declarations
now in preparation by subcommittees,
there was an expectation in
some quarters tonight that the subject
of leases, including those held by
Japan in Shantung and Manchuria,
might be brought up for discussion in
the very near future. China's deletrutos
hnve Herlnrerl t.hpir intention tr?
bring the Shantung and Manchurian
problems to the attention of the conference
as soon as occasion offered
and Japan has indicated repeatedly
that she does not regard these subjects
as within the province of the
negotiations. The attitude of the other
nations has not been defined, but it
is expected that some feature of the
"fou? points" will be brought forwai'd
to guide in a decision.
The Farmer Versus
The Railroads
The average South Carolina farmer
gets up early at the alarm of the Connecticut
clock, buttons his Chicago
suspenders to Detroit overalls, puts
on a pair of Montana cowhide shoes,
made in Ohio, washes in a Pittsburg
tin basin, using Cincinnati soap, and
dries on a Georgia cotton towel made
in New Hampshire, sits down to u
Grand Rapids table, eats biscuits
made with Minneapolis flour, Kansas
City bacon and Indiana grits fried
in Omaha lard cooked in a St. Louis
stove, Irish potatoes grown in Michigan
and canned fruit put up*in California
seasoned with Rhodo Island
spices.
Clops on his old wool hat made in
Philadelphia, puts New York harness
on his Misouri mule, feed on Iowa corn
nnd plows his farm covered by a Massachusetts
mortgage with an Indiana
plow.
At night he crawls under a New
Jersey blanket and is kept awake by
a South Carolina dogt the only home
product on the place.
And everything except the dog and
the mortgage are brought to him by
the railroads.?Exchange.
