QUESTION VIEW PRIVATE LOANS BY GOVERNMENT ' \exed Question Up in Cui> | inet Again As Krxult of Hoover'* Kfforta in Be half American Consumer By DAVID I.AWHKX K icwfrtfet. ikj. k? Ikf *<mmi | Washington, March 17. ? The , all Important subject of Govern-, .went regulation of pilvatc loans I la up Tor discussion again In the : Cabin* t of President Coo lid g?* i The question arisen In connec tion with the effort of the admin-1 ' iitiatiou to Influence the action oi 'monopolies abroad which control materials. Although no legal ! power Is veated In the executive' bnnch of the Government to dis approve private loans, the De partment of State has just the! same indicated to private bankers that it had no objection to the ex tension of credits under certain j circumstances. Hankers are becoming rcativ* | un<Vr the application of tills pol icy lor they think It Is an unwar ranted Interference with their, ' business and that If th?? Govern-' | ment can say to a banker what i I loans he should not make the Gov- : eminent might also be in the po- i sition of approving certain Invest- i ! ments. ? i | Sonw officials of the Govern ment are opposed to anything } (which might be construed as Gov-' lernment guarantee or approval of j private loana yet bankers are b*?- , ? ginning to feel that the Govern j ment cannot limply disapprove, | loans and escape the Implication : that it is at the sam<- time ap ? proving others. j During the two years preceding ; I American entry Into the war. the Federal Government was be-! {sought to dlaapprove loans ex pended by private bankers to the J ullled countries. The extension' 'of credit waa protested against at unneutral. The position taken by J the Department of Statea was j that lending uiouey to a foreign Government was not prohibited .) by law and that an embargo 01. ; funds could not be Imposed an> J ,more than any embargo on uiu-, nltlons. After the United Stat? . | entered the war, of course, the: situation changed. Out the con ' slstent policy of the Government in peace times haa been agaiiiF'1 'any embargoes. I The present altuatlon Is due to the effort of Secretary Hoovar of i the Department of Commerce to pervuade monopolies controlled or , subsidized by foreign Govern- 1 ments from mulcting the Amer!-i can consumer. The House Com-j mlttee of Interstate and Foreign Commerce has just made a report | arguing that a conservation cuui-j palgn and other methods be eui ployed to fight foreign monopo- ; I Ilea. While no legislstlon Is rec lommended. It Is pointed out that' j American bankera .should refus*-, to extend credits to foreign inon-1 opolies. Whether such a atep If embod ied in a bill would pass is doubt-) ful. because It would Involve th< setting up of some agency to de 1 ' termlne the difference between a , reasonable price charged Ameri can consumers for foreign prod ucts and an unreaaonable price Aa yet neltheT the Department of 'state nor the Department of Com merce has been willing to state what conatltutes an nnreasonablt , prjee. The administration In the rase of domestic pries fixing ia refus- . ilng to Interfere In the Isw of supply and demand especially in respect to the export bounty plans , of various fsrm organisations In the matter of foreign monopolies.! the admlnlatratlon la Insisting I that reasonable prices be charged I but declines to say at what point j the prices become reasonable or to become party to any sgreeroent | fixing the price for any length of time. The Department of Commerce . Is. on the other hand, confident that the agitation which has been I going on will be fruitful of re-i 'suits and that even If no definite prices are established, foreign monopolies will be more careful of their treatment of American . i consumers. Indeed there is a hop. | that foreign governments will | cease to support private inonop . olles. One of the difficulties of the situation Is that these monopolies are able to obtain funds In Greet < llrltaln and that (a the reason ' why tho bankers hers are anxlon? I that the extension of loans by ; them be permitted, because lh* result hoped for cannot be acconi-; pllshed by sn embargo that only affects one country.

In some localities, doubtless, aii ?official, binding vote would hhow a different result. Dut in OtlMf places there can be no doubt that, the newspaper vote comes vert close to beliii; a true reflection of the voters' state of mind. In El l'aso. Texas, for instance, the editor of The Post wires tha' , the prohibition referendum. wi*!i 1 om tOMpUM, polled more votes than any electlou ever held In E! I l'aso. Only once In hlatory was [the entire county's vote higher 'than the vote received by Th*" Tost. K1 I'auo's wet majority, ac cordingly. ought to be a fair rep resentation of that city's opinion, i Similarly, in Santa Ana, Calif.. j which went heavily dry, the vole was almost an exact parallel of au official ballot taken prior to i the enactment of the eighteenth ! amendment, according to the edi tor of the lteglster. In* Nogales, Arizona, The Dally Herald polb-d a vote that was about 60 per c*-nt of the city'a total registered vote, and In Wallace, Idaho, The Pre? Times' vote was nearly half of the entire county vote iu the last Freaidentlal election. The editor of the Dowagiac (Michigan) Daily News, report^ that the vote In that city seems io! him a fair representation of ihe, majority sentiment ? DowskIuc went dry ? and a similar repori i*J received from the editor of Ihe: Ogdensburg (New York) Journal. It is thus apparent that lit some sections, at all events, the poll can be accepted almost for its fac? value. It cannot be said definite ly In how many cities thla In true until more complete returns are In. OfThand, It would seem that in any city such as Fort Wayne, Indiana, for example, where ilic N. C.
