GERMAN DEPOSITS SAFE
Government Would Not Seize Them
in Case of War,


Washington, Feb IA formal
statement giving assurances that the
government has no intention OF seiz-
ing bank deposits or other property
belonging to any foreign subject
even in the event OF war--has been
issued by the state department with
the approval of President Wilson.
The statement was prompted by the
anxiety of German subjects in some
and by the many reports In circula-
ton regarding the intention OF the
government concerning war-bound
vessels in American ports. II makes
no specific reference to the Prussian.
American treaty of 1928. which pro-
vides for the immunity of such prop
erty but which has been regarded as
of doubtful legality, saying merely
that the government will In no cir
cumstances take advantage Of state
of war to take possession OF property
to which international understanding
and the recognized law of the land
give it no just claim
The decision is understood to be in
furtherance of President Wilson's de-
termination that there shall be moth

States to warrant criticism, rather
than indicative of any specifice in
