An initial loan of $25,000,000 was extended to China in December 1938. Recent official statements here disclosed that China is ahead of schedule in repaying the initial load.
Chinese quarters here said that the new loan would be used for the purchase of American metals, oils, trucks, road building machinery, mining and smelting machinery, medical supplies and other materials required for reconstruction work.
The United Council for Civilian Relief in China has raised an additional $500,000 which will be spent on medical supplies which will be shipped to China.
