1Opinion of the Court
JOHNSEN, Circuit Judge.
Appellant, an Indiana corporation, brought suit against appellee, an Arkansas corporation, in the federal court in Arkansas, on diversity jurisdiction, to recover damages for breach of a contract. The court, on motion of appellee, dismissed the action, upon the grounds that the contract was one which had been made in Arkansas; that appellant had not qualified as a foreign corporation to do business in the State; and that under the Arkansas statutes it therefore was without right or capacity to sue upon such a contract in the State.
