GERMANS ARE ANXIOUS

The Hague, March 1.-THE German
press. which hitherto has been fairly
restrained in its comment on Japan's
Intervention, has now had time to di-
gest the somewhat bitter pill and is
beginning to discuss the situation
freely.
Erich Salzman. in the Vossische
Zeitung. writes that the situation in
the far east is becoming more compll-
Gated and diff cult to comprehend. He
says that declarations made in the
Japanese parliament by leading states
men are careful and many sided, and
that in Japan there exists secret, IT.
responsible, but all-powerful cabinet
which decides everything.
SEES U. s. WITHDRAWAL
The allies are endeavoring, he as
serts, to lure Japan to fight on the
continent, but Japan wishes to assure
herself of backing before intervening.
The prolongation of the war, the
putting out of their full strength by
the allies and especially the entrance
of America into the war, Salzman
says, has given Japan free hand in
China and she means to control the
whole of China. America has with
drawn from that field, he asserts.

izing the alien property custodian to
sell all enemy property in the United
States and presented an opinion by
the state department holding there is
no treaty obligation which would re-
Quire the American government to
pay Germany the proceeds.
NO RETURN OF PROPERTY
I'm my opinion we are absolutely re-
lieved from any treaty obligation to
account for this property" said the
senator. Speaking for myself and
think. the American people, if the
German people ever get any compen-
sation for this property it will be
after they have compensated the
American people for the Millions
would even say billions-of dollars
worth of property they have ruthless
ly destroyed"
Senator Martin quoted from state
ment by A. Mitchell Palmer. the alien
property custodian. to the appropri-
ations committee that it desired to
separate entirely and permanently

PROFITS FOR ENEMY
These industries are spread from

nous profits for our enemies"
The amendment was accepted

apparent opposition. although Mi
nority Leader Gallinger Of New
Hampshire. just before the viva voce
vote was taken. said that the commit
tees report was not unanimous.
