LONDON, July 20— London. which

slowly than any other great capital

building boom is likely to be a process
of tightening up ami levelling up by

CHINESE GOVERNMENT
IS RI NSING BEHIND
PEKING, July 20— The Chinese
I government is running behind finan
cially $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 mon
thly, according to a statement made
by an attache of the cabinet in con
versation with newspaper correspon
dents. The administrative debt of the
nation totals $270,000,000, of which
$180,000,000 represents loans by Chin
ese banks.
The monthly budget aggregates
$18,000,000, with only $0,000,000 to
$8,000,000 available from ordinary
sources of revenue. Of this monthly
expenditure more than 70 percent go
es for military upkeep. To meet the
monthly deficit drastic retrenchment
is said to be contemplated.
Cognizance was taken of this state
of affairs by Thomas Lamont, New
York financier, on his visit here when
k* informed the Chinese authorities
that loans to China could he under
taken, among other considerations, on
ly after China demonstiated her abil
ity to “balance” her budget for ad
ministrative and military expendi
tures.
