Here
VANCOUVER,
April
17:
(CP)-Inihe
course
of
an
address
yesterday
before
the
Vancouver
Board
of
Trade
on
the
subject
of
"Legislation
of
the
Last
Session,"
Hon.
Gordon
Sloan,
attorney
general,
made
the
important
statement
in
regard
to
British
Columbia
bonds
that
those
bondholders
residing
outside
of
Canada
who
do
not
accept
the
government's
offer
of
conversion
will
not
be
permitted
to
take
their
case
to
the
courts.
Authority
was
given
in
the
Revenue
Act
passed
at
the
last
session
of
the
Legislature
to
close
the
doors
of
the
courts
to
foreign
bondholders
who
do
not
accept
the
refunding
offer
of
the
government,
Mr,
Sloan
declared.
"Under
this
Act,"
Mr.
Sloan
stated,
"to
the
man
with
bonds
we
say:
'We
will
give
you
one
hundred
cents
on
the
dollar
for
your
bond
or
take
it
back
at
a
lower
rate
of
interest.'
I
don't
say
when
that
power
will
be
exercised."
Mr.
Sloan
said
that
no
one
wished
to
violate
the
sanctity
of
contracts
but
it
was
impossible
for
the
province
to
continue
its
financing
as
it
had
been
