No Chinese Loan In London

Mr. Sun Fo Thinks Scheme Is Hopeless, But Trade Credits Feasible

London, Apr. 14.

Before leaving London tonight for a week or ten days in Scotland, Mr. Sun Fo, President of the Legislative Yuan, told Reuter in connection with rumours that China had been endeavouring Xo raise a loan in London:

"I have been frankly informed that the chances of raising a loan, when ther for China or any country, are at present hopeless in view of the general confusion of world conditions, On the other hand, the pos: sibility of arranging commercial credits for China I consider feasible, This is not so much a question of war materials as the reparation of the cruel destruction suffered in the war,"

Mr. Sun Fo continued to tell Reuter that he was greatly encouraged by the cordiality of his reception in all quarters in London and the sympathy that he found expressed for China, (He was unable, he said, to disclose the nature of his recent conversation with the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville (Chamberlain, sinico this was most confidential, He could, however, say that he was most impressed by the Prime Minister's friendliness, his clear and practical mind and his wide grasp of the details of the Far Eastern: situation.

Mr. Sun Fo's movements after his return from Scotland are as yet undefined.—Reuter.
