Selling German Property.

HERE is more significance than appears
on the surface in the legislation au-
thorizing the alien property custodian to dis
pose at public sale OF the enemy properties
held i'll this country. This does not mean
merely that tho German holdings in America
to be liQuidated and the cash received
held to the account Of German subjects. to be
paid TO them when the war has ended. 1t
means that vast interests held in this couu-
try by these aliens are to pass, and probably
pass forever, from their hands
This is plainly another blow at German
commercial prestige. 1t is further declara-
ton of war upon that country, and is
declaration which will not fail to impress the
German business man with the dreary future
that he must face. whether German armies
are victorious defeated. This act is just
another move in the direction taken by the
National Chamber of Commerce when it
voted a grim warning to German business
few weeks ago that this country is no longer
minded TO open its Industrial doors to Ger
man enterprise.
When the alien property custodian puts the
great Hoboken steamship piers, now owned
by the North German Lloyd and the Ham
burg-American Lines, upon the block, these
tremendously valuable properties will be
taken by American interests. There
may conceivably be steamship operations be-
tween Hamburg and Bremen and New York
which once locked at these wharves will
dock elsewhere. American ships will crowd
the Hoboken piers. reminding German yes
sells that they are now strangers, if not actual
enemies.
Under international law, to which this
country continues to adhere with scrupulous
fidelity the money received from the sale
OF German-owned properties in the United
States must be held or invested for the aliens
concerned. but when the time to name peace
terms TO Germany comes, it will be within
the power Of the United States to hold this
money against the unlawful damages which
Germany may have inflicted upon American
citizens. The Lusitania victims, it may be
membered, have never been indemn
Scores OF other vessels have been sunk. con-
trary TO law and with half billion or more
