partment's explanation of Its policy
with reference to foreign loans was
'wretched subterfuge."
t Later today a formal denial came
from the atate department of any re
sponsibility for losses the public,
might have had in buying foreign
bonds.
; "No foreign loans has ever been
made," it said, "which, purported to
have the approval of the American,
government as to the intrinsic value
of the loan." . .
I In its 2000-word statement, which
1 came as a reply to a denunciation by
Senator Glass, the department said
its simple statement of the absence
j of objection to a loan could not be
considered as approval of it.
I Meanwhile the senate finance com
mittee was hearing written warnings
by former Secretary Kellogg of state
and by S. Parker Gilbert, agent gen
feral of reparations. In 1027, suggest
ing American banks be cautious In
handling foreign loans.
