German Loans From England Not Favoured PREPAREDNESS BEYOND DEFENSIVE NEEDS. LONDON, January 15. The Guardian's diplomatic correspondent says the suggestions that Germany might obtain loans from England and France is regarded coldly in London, where it is recognised that loans would only help rearmament directly or indirectly. Germany's production of war material has already reached a probable maximum. She has the plant necessary for replacements and rearmament is now becoming a matter of building up reserves of raw materials, foodstuffs and defensive preparations such as a fortress field. The works still progress, and while England and France are anxious to ; come to terms with Germany, they realise that the Four-year Plan aims at a state of preparadness far beyond defensive needs.
