Chinese Democrats Fight Foreign Loan Cancellation Demanded by Faction That Would Have New Republic Control Its Own Finances. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. PEKIN. CHINA, April 29.—The signing of the quintuple loan for $125,000,000 has caused a grave po litical crisis. The Kuo Min Tang (or Democratic party) demands the can cellation of the contract, contending that it contravenes China’s sovereign rights in giving foreigners power to supervise the nation's finances. It also objects because the matter was not referred to the present assembly for approval. The Government contends that this was not necessary, as the loan agree ment is practically the same as that approved by the provisional govern ment assembly December 30 la.4t. ('hang Chi, president of the assem bly, has telegraphed to all the pro vincial assemblies urging them not to sanction the loan. j GIVE THE HAIR THE FOOD IT NEEGS age Feeds, Cleanses and Makes Hair Grow.
