Lord Rotherwick attacked vig orously .today the proposed U. S. loan to Great Britain, as serting that its approval would mean this country would be come "an illegitimate 49th state of America." Lord Rotherwick. chairman and managing director of the Clan Steamship line, spoke at the- annual meeting of the chamber of shipping: "If ' this loan with its one sided, impossible and unbe lievable conditions takes place, then the only comfort I can see for those of us who are growing old is that it will tend to soften the pangs of death. "It will mean the elimina tion of this country as one of the great powers for peace and stability; in the world, and I am afraid it will result eventu ally in this country sinking to a smell third class power an illegitimate 49th state of America, dragging down with her the other members of the empire." - He said the loan should have been given as a gift, free of interest. "It is something to be ash amed of," he shouted, "it was nothing more or less than the selling of the British Empire and its independence to America."
