Administration views on syndicate loan plan for China
The State Department shows limited enthusiasm for American banks participating in a $27.5 million tripartite loan to China secured by the likin tax. Officials warn the tax should be abolished, fearing the loan would entrench debt and hinder progress, with past U.S. investments like the Canton-Hankow Road causing embarrassment. London notes Britain’s view that 1904 arrangements were bilateral and America had equal opportunity to join.
