Chinas Default Of Bonds Causes Much Speculatioi Failure to Mrct Intrrfbt Pay nient May Affect Country's ' Position in Sellling Far ' '. Eastern CUteblioits.' By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING Vahincten Nov. 8 The first ruffling of the waters of intcrnation al diplomacy surrounding the con ferpnee on limitation of armaments was observable yesterday. ' China, whose status and future will lie dealt with at the conference and whose delegation ii relying upon the United States for chief support, has fallen afoul of the American gov ernment in a manner that may ser iously affect the position of China in the approaching negotiations of far eastern questions. On November 1 the Chinese gov ernment defaulted on paynu-nt of interest and principal of the $5,000,- IXK). loan by the .Continental and Commercial National bank cf Chi cago, the bonds ot which lean are widely distributed among American investors. ' nugnes panics retting. 1 r Secretary of State 'Hughes Im mediately cabled to Peking a remon strance.-, tie flia not say, as was re ported, from Peking, that the default mifiht embarrass continued recogni tion of the Peking government.- It appears that the Chinese minister of finance resigned on October 31, af ter refusing to renew the loan as had been proposed bv Vice " President Abbott of the Chicago bank.- A new minister has been appointed. The new international consortium was to have loaned $16,000,000 to China from which the ; principal and interest- of the Chicago- loan could have been met, but Morgan & Co. held up the advance by the con sortium because China had declined to recognize responsibility for the payment of certain bonds issued to finance a Chinese- railway which bonds the Chinese government had confiscated after declaring war on Germany. ' Delegation is Exercised. The Chinese delegation to the con ference is greatly exercised over the unfortunate possibilities of this, in cident and has cabled Peking ad vice to remove the cause ot the trlc-tion. If China is going to default on foreign loans there will be little sym pathy in the conference for the plea of China to be relieved of any for eign supervision of its finances. To obtain restoration of complete finan cial autonomy is one of the aims of the Chinese delegation. ' No Change in Condition Of John D. Oreighton The condition of John D.
