WILSON MAY
SEIZE PIERS

WASHINGTON d. c.. March :.
- President Wilson asked con-
gress today for authority to take
over piers owned by German
steamship lines in the United
States.
The president Sent the request
to congress thru Senator Martin,
Virginia, chairman of the senate
appropriations committee. Martin
said he would offer an amend
ment today to the urgent defic-
iency bill, giving the president
the necessary authority to sell the
terminal properties of the Ham,
burg American and the North
German Lloyd steamship lines.
This would appear to be a step
to Americanize enemy property in
this country wide departure
from the policy pursued hereto
fore.
II also is Tremendously signifi-
cant in view of the presidents
yelled threat-backed by indus
trial America-to declare a boy
colt on German trade after peace
comes, IL Germany fails to come
to terms.
Sale of the great German piers
would deprive Germany of pos
session of her own landing points
on American shores-a drastic
step toward curtailment OF Ger
man trade In the future-with this
country at least.
