Following is an Associated Press f dispatch: Washington, Marcn xo. President Wilson tonight in a state ment approved by his cabinet, after two hours of discussion, announced that his administration had declined to request tho group of American bankers to continue their negotia tions for participation In the $125, 000,000 loan desired by the Chinese government. The statement fol lows: "Wo are informed that at the re quest of the last administration a certain group of American bankers undertook to participate in the loan now desired by the government of China (approximately $125,000, 000). Our government wished American bankers to participate along with the bankers of other na tions, because it desired that the good will of the United States to wards China would be exhibited in this practical way, that American capital should have access to that great country and that the United States should be in a position to share with the other powers any political responsibilities that might be associated with the development of the foreign relations of China in connection with her industrial and commercial enterprises. "The present administration has been asked by this group of bank ers whether it would also request them to participate in the loan. Rep resentatives of the bankers through whom the administration was ap proached declared that they would continue to seek their share of the loan under the proposed agreements only If expressly requested to do so by the government. "The administration has declined to make such request, because it did not approve the conditions of the loan or the implications of responsi bility on its own part which it was plainly told would be involved in the request. "The conditions of the loan seem to us to touch very nearly the ad ministrative independence of China itself, and this administration does not feel that it ought even by impli cation to be a party to those condi tions. The responsibility on its pan which would be implied in request ing the bankers to undertake the loan might conceivably go the length in some unhannv finnHnronnw of forcible Interference in tho finan cial and even the political affairs of that great oriental state, just now awakening to a consciousness of its power and its obligations to the people. The conditions include not only the pledging of particular taxes, aouie ol tnem antiquated and bur densome, to secure the loan but also the administration of those taxes by luiumu agents, me responsibility on the part of our government im plied in the encouragement of a loan thus secured and administered is plain enough and is obnoxious to the principles upon which the gov ernment of our people rests." The statement came as a conse quence of the visit to Washington last week of representatives of New York banking firms, headed by Wll Jard D. Strait. They conferred with Secretary Bryan of the state depart ment who took the situation up with the president. Officials of tho Chinese embassy also discussed the subject with Secretary Bryan and the presi dent. Mr. Bryan was consulted about the statement before his de parture for the west. While the president's announce ment explained the attitude of the United States towards the Chinese loan, it was authoritively stated to night that the same policy would apply throughout . the Wilson ad ministration towaTd similar sltiin" tions in Central America and else where where the United States is concerned. The iJolicy of .protecting through the action of tho government loan contracts of American firms abroad was a part of what was often re ferred to as "dollar diplomacy" in the Taft administration. In the last administration Secre tary Knox urged the passage of two loan conventions seeking to rehabi litate the finances of Nicaragua and Honduras respectively. The United States was to have had a voice in the selection of inspectors of cus toms through which medium tho in terests of the American banking firms were to be protected. Ameri can banking firms were to submit for the approval of the president of the United States and the Central Ameri can governments in question a list of inspectors of customs. These loan conventions were not ratified by the senate, and the Taft administration closed without determining how far the American government should go in protecting its financial firms abroad. Following is an Associated Press dispatch: Washington, D. C, March 19th. President Wilson's attitude toward American bankers' participa tion in the Chinese loan and foreign loans generally has effected wide spreadoomment and discussion in offi cial diplomatic quarters. Following closely upon the statement come in dications that the negotiations may now proceed as a five-power affair without the American group. It is pointed out that Russia may now be counting on the moral support of their government to continue Pro visional President Yuan Shi Kai in office. The pressing feature for China, right now, diplomats point out, is found in the fact that China is more than one year behind on the payment of boxer indemnities to the extent of $20,000,000, with an army clamor ing for back pay, more provincial loans coming due and need for money to continue the operation of the pro visional government. It is intimated here that some American bankers, other than those concerned in the loan rejected are figuring on participation in such a transaction, but it is pointed out that President Wilson's statement made it clear that while the Chinese gov ernment would have the sympathetic support of the United States, under no circumstances would it take the form of a guarantee or would be in vestors in Chinese securities. Discussion ia now turning to the question of when the administration will announce its policy on the recog nition of the new government of China. But now that the loan mat ter has been determined it is gen erally believed this government's attitude toward the new Chinese government will be made known at an early date. HUNTINGTON WILSON RESIGNS Following is an Associated Press dispatch: Washington, March 20. Huntington Wilson, acting and as sistant secretary of state, has re signed that office and Insisted upon Immediate acceptance of the resigna tion because of his radical difference of opinion with the administration regarding its Chinese policies. Presi dent Wilson immediately accepted his resignation. Mr Wilson, like all assistant sec retaries of the various departments tendered his resignation, as a mat ter of form, to President Wilson directly on the latter's assumption of office. Mr. Wilson was requested to continue his place until it should be convenient for the president to name his successor and consented to do so jM w M-ii
