CREDITORS WIN TRUST CO. SUIT

Blue Pass Book Claim Upheld by Supreme Court. |

Blue pass book holders in the de- | funct Washington Bank & Trust Co. | today were victorious in their legal |

Treanor. | held the lien holders had an un- | divided interest in a separate va ment trust and were not general | creditors. The decision sustained the judgment of the Marion County Circuit | Court and had been appealed by | Oren S. Hack, receiver. | The Supreme Court decided the | agreement between the bank and! blue pass book holders resulted in separation of certain mortgage | securities from general assets of the | bank and that the lien holders shared equal rights to this special investment funa.

Advises Credit

To Europe for Old U. S. Debts ©

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (U.P) .— Senator Lewis (D. Ill) today pro- | posed that European nations owing debts to the United States subtract from them the American obligations [owed foreign citizens since Civil War days and

Lewis’ proposal was made after he

| discussed with the State Depart-

ment the results of his recent investigations of the European debt situation. “I make bold now to offer that each country figure up the principal amount of the debt.” he said, “and subtract the amount of this debt from the whole amount now due by each to the United States | on the war debts. { Mark the debt due them as paid, and then pay the balance that is! then admittedly due to America to |

| the Treasury of the United States.

“I take the liberty to suggest that | this be done at once, preceding any arrangement of trade treaty or the! negotiation of any further loan of money by our Government, or by bankers or financiers in our Gov- | ernments, without consent. “After this result the adjustments to the smaller countries on the | smaller debts can be made, on the

| basis created in the payments or

adjustments with the larger

greater debtors.’
