SITUATION is COMPL LICAT TED

Forty eight German Ships In American
Waters Would Have to Flee or Be
Seized-This Country Would Prob
ably Give Them Chance to Get
Away and Land Whers They Could.
Washington.-The precise legal sta
tus of many hundreds of millions, per-
haps Of billions, of property in this
country and -others would be brought
into question If the United States were
to become involved In the war In Eu-
rope.
Vast properties in the United States
Of European ownership would be liable
to confscation,
Great properties, though much less
In aggregate value, owned by Ameri-
cans in Europe would be in the same
position.
American corporations would not be
permitted, it is assumed, to pay divi-
dends on securities held by citizens of
the countries with which the United
States was at war.
The German ships now interned In
this country would be under the neces-
sity Of leaving American waters at the
risk of being captured on the high seas
or else being confscated in the ports
where they are now held.
In all the history Of warfare there
has probably never been so complicat-
ed a financial situation in information
al relationship as that which would en-
sue between the United States and
Germany If the two countries by any
chance should engage in hostilities.
Germans have long been large invest
ors in the United States, particularly
in securities of railroad and industrial
corporations. 1t Is now pretty well
known that these investments were to
last year before the war began. Dur
ing that period Germany was systemat-
lcally turning its investments into
forms most available for quick use,
and the conversion was made so skill
fully and quietly that the world of
business did not fully realize what was
afoot until the war had actually bro
ken out
Consequently it is impossible at all
accurately to appraise German hold
mgs in this country today. 1t is be
lieved, however, that they are largest
in railroad securities, then in industri-
ais and finally In real estate and mis-
cellaneOus forms of property.
On the other hand, American proper
ty interests in Germany are larger than
is generally understood, because in re
cent years a number of American in
dustrials have been forced to establish
plants In Germany.
1t was estimated that $2000,O00,0 900
worth OF various alien owned invest
ments in both countries would be In
volved If the two countries should go
to war. What would be their stand
ing?
This question is decidedly important
TO people on both sides who have such
holdings. But 1t is easier answered
than the next one.
With the two countries at war un-
naturalized Germans In this country
would become, before the law, "alien
enemies" No matter how loyal to this
country or how determined that their
conduct toward and in their adopted
country should be exemplary, that
would be their legal position.
This class Of people own great ag-
gregates of property in this country,
and to Involve them in any general
condagration measures would be so
farreaehing in their effects that it is
recognized as quite impossible that any
such would be undertaken.
