Anglo-French Loan To Czechoslovakia

Agreement Reached for Extra £8,000,000

London, Jan. 2

An Agreement has at last been reached, Reuter learns, on the amount and conditions of the Anglo-French loan to Czechoslovaki:

Besides the £4,000,000 gift from the British Government, it is understood that £8,000,000 will be loaned under a joint guarantee of the British and French Governments, subject to certain conditions, and will be devoted almost entirely to the assistance of refugees.

The rate of interest has not yet been fixed.

The agreement will be finally sealed today at a meeting of the experts of the three countries—Reuter.
