TO SUE SOUTHERN STATES
Attempt Will Be Made to Force Re-
demption of Repudlated
Ry Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 31.--The commit
Tee of North Carolina bondholders is
planning a novel move by which it ex-
poets to compel North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and other southern
states to redeem repudiated bonds
amounting to about 100000 in the
aggregate,
Under the constitution of the United
States a suit cannot be brought against
one of the states by a citizen of an
other state or a citizen or subject of
any foreign state. Under the recent
decision of the supreme court of the
United States, in the case of South Da-
kota against North Carolina, however,
a government may recover against a
state of the union upon it's obligations.
The committee Is now planning to
transfer some OF the bonds of the de-
faulting states not to another state, as
South Dakota, but to a foreign state,
the idea being that public sentiment in
the United States would induce the
southern states to pay off the bonds if
suit should be brought by the foreign
state. Venezuela and Colombia. 1t is
announced, have consented to accept
a gift of some of the repudiated bonds
ard to bring actions upon them against
me defaulting states.
The gift of the bonds. however, ac-
cording to j.. l.. Andrews, counsel for
the committee, must be bona fide.
The committee recently sent a letter
to President Roosevelt suggesting that
he urge the defaulting states to arbi-
trate the debts.
