Washington. March 11.-Legislation
authorizing the sale Of all enemy
property In thia country, requested by
the alien property custodian to per-
manently upr0ot German commercial
influence. was approved today by the
senate and added to the urgent def
cheney appropriation bill. An amend
ment empowering the president, to ac-
Quire title to the German steamship
companies docks and wharves at Ho-
ooken. N. J.. also was accepted.
Tho vote on the provision for sale OF
enemy property was unanimous, 81 to
0. and came after several hours
scathing denunciation o. German kul-
tur and intrigues for world DONNA
ton.
Enemy property within the meaning
Of the law is property owned in an
enemy country and official assurances
have been given in an enemy country
and, official assurances have been
given that there is no intention to In
terfere with the property or money of
Germans or Austrians living in this
country. The purpose Is to sever for
ever the hold Of Germans in Germany
on vast commercial and industrial en-
terprises in the United States. which
have been closely connected with the
kaiser's government serving az out
posts of the Teutonic movement for
world dominion.
Placed in Other Hands.
Under the trading with the enemy
act the alien property custodian takes
possession of and administers these
properties. but is without authority to
finally dispose OF them. The new leg
fslation will empower him to place
them in American hands.
Virtually the only questions raised
IN today's debate were the possibility
OF violating the. treaty Of 1899 be-
tween Prussia and the United States
and OF too hasty. action by congresa.
Prompt approvsl Of both provisions
by the house is expected as soon as
the senate finally. disposes Of the
$2,000,000.000 urgent deficiency APP
Preparation bill to which they are
added. ....r
Before the senate acted. Democratic
Leader Martin presented a melnoran-
dunn from the state departments legal
bureau declaring that the 1893 treaty
was not regarded as applicable.
