The businessâ€"like manner in which Czechosloyakia has settled its agree~ ment has made a most favorable imâ€" pression| in Washington. * The funding of the Czechoslovakian debt is on a basis of one hundred and fifteen million dollars. . The terms are that Czschoslovakia will discharge its debt in sixtyâ€"two years, paying three million dollars annually for eighteen years, after which the amount will automatically increase to approxiâ€" mately gix million dollars per annum. \ "This demand does not consider alâ€" lowing the driver of a motor vehicle to travel at any rate of speed he may see fit to use, but rather it considers establishing certain places where the pedestrian may cross a street and be within his rights, and others where he would be a trespasser. â€" Crossing the street in the middle of the block is the direct cause of numerous acciâ€" dents, and it should be made an act of trespass. When such laws are enacted there will be fewer unjust suits brought into our courts." The Czecholslovakian deft funding agreement has been made ready to be presented to congress. by Secretary Mellon, for the American Debt comâ€" mission, and Dr. Vilem Pospisil, repâ€" resenting Czechoslovakia. The agreeâ€" ment hag been approved by Pregident Coolidge and the terms of the agreeâ€" ment were worked, out in conference in a manner satisfactory‘to both naâ€" tions.! ; ‘ CZECHOSLOV AKIAN DEBT Is UP NEXT Funding Commission Mak es Very: Satisfactory A%ree- ment It Is Believe S , Remedy Suggested "The remedy lies in the enactment of laws that will deffnitely establish the responsibility of pedestrians. The railroads have a different condition to face than has the car owner. The only concern of the railway is to avoid willful, wanton neglect. The man who ventures upon a railroad right of way is a trespasser, but the motorist in the street has no right of way. Our laws were framed when our population was a pedestrian one, but today with 17,500,000 automobiles in use on‘our highways a more equitâ€" able distribution of responsibility is being ‘demanded. "In some cases, of course, a delibâ€" erate attempt is made to defraud the car owner. The injured or supposedâ€" ly injured persons are willing to gamâ€" ble that the sympathies of the jury will be with them, and that an adâ€" verse verdict will not be fought in the higher courts. "When‘ the general public begins to realize that an injury is not in itâ€" self eufficient grounds for recovery, but that the liability <of the driver must be shown, there will be fewer suits of this nature entered in our courts. "This condition, in most cases, is not the regult of deliberaté malice but of ignorance on the part of the injurâ€" ed party. | "The cost of procuring the attendâ€" ance of his witnesses, lawyers fees, and the fees of court reporters falls upon the defendant, in such a Jcase. and even ijf he is given a favorable verdict he finds himself considerably ‘out of pocket. even though he knows the‘ pl’lntifl, is entirely in the wrong. 1 "When ‘a motorist is sued, he must file the proper legal papers in answer to the plaintiff‘s declaration, and he is forced to defend his case "Motorists who have become involyâ€" ed in an accident are frequently asâ€" tonished to find suit brought against them, when they know that they have in no way contributed toward the acâ€" cident. There is nothing in law, howâ€" ever, to prevent any one from bring: ing suit, and this had led to the clutâ€" tering up of our court calendars and to injustice to the drivers of automoâ€" biles. Unmeritorious personal injury guits arising out of the use of the automoâ€" bile clutter| up the: courts and cause many motorists a great deal of anxâ€" iety, and in numerous cases a fingnâ€" cial loss, agccording to the accident prevention‘ department of the Chicaâ€" go Motor club.. This department of the club is now engaged in an invesâ€" tigation of personal injury cases, and it finds that these injuries which are listed in the records kept by various cities range from real‘ injury xmchi as broken limbs, to the rather vague injuries listed as "shock." In mnnyl cases a shock is a real injury while in others it is flimsy in character. Erroneous Notion "A person injured very slightly has no trouble in bringing suit," continâ€" ues the builetin, "and many suits are started ‘because of the rather wideâ€" spread, but erroneous opinion, that any injury caused by an automobile is in itself sufficient grounds upon which to base a suit and obtain reâ€" covery. ~ Easy to Bring Suit oh.
