U.S. BOND CASE NOT CLOSED

FOREIGN HOLDERS MAY YET SUE

GLOOMY PREDICTION OF ECONOMIST

New York, Feb. 19. The possibility that the last has not been heard of the Gold Clause problem was suggested by Professor Cyril James, economist of Pennsylvania University to day, who is quoted as saying:

It was learned here to-day that some lawyers forsee the possibility of the small group of Americans residing in foreign countries and who bought United States Govern- ment Bonds before devaluation of the dollar, or who bought the Ronds in the United States and then moved abroad, being able to collect damages under the Liberty Bond decision,
