was Illustrated today when It he
camo known that the officers of tho

thiiHlastlc about thu coiiiiuJksIou

Plan Is Changed
Aftor tho iiuuoiiucement already
made that tho commission would
meet there dally, the plan was chang
ed because, It was reported, certain
members of tho exchange would op
pose it and internal dissension would
ensue.
Question Security
It Is alleged that tho Cermuii at
tack on the proposed loan was
launched from under tho cover ot
American citizens of (lernnui par
entage, nativity or sympathizers al
though hoiiio opposed tlio loan on the
ground that tho security offered was
not sufficient, and such a loan
threatened to Involvo the United
Slates In war.
Threaten Hanks
The attack Included not only n
negative stand In refusing to partici
pate, which tho agitators hopo will
ho taken by the hanks with largo
lists of Rorman-Amerlcau depositors,
It was reported, but embraced ex
treme measures against uuy hauku
with Centum-American depositors
helping In any way to finance the
loan.
The roportcd campnlgu contoiii.
plates withdrawals, wholesale in ox
tout, from bunks participating In the
loan.
Loan For (.'ernmny
Another method of thoxo opposing
tho loan was ft proposal to float a
I Ito loan for (lorniiiny. Tho amount
of tho Cermiiu loan, commission
hoard, was to bo half 11 billion dol
lars. If half it billion dollars was
