Americans Get
Back Property
Seized i'm War
Alien Custodian Restores
SIS, 100000 Worth,
Mostly to Naturalized
Citizens of German Birth

Property valued at more than $751;
100000 belonging to American citizens
cesident in German territory during
the war has been returned to it's own
ers, according to J. MacLean, head of
the claims department under the Alien
Property Custodian. This property
was conhscated under the alien prop
erty act, which made the owners resi-
dence, instead of his nationality, the
determining factor in classification.
The successful claimants. says Mr.
MacLean, have been almost without
exception naturalized citizens, natives
Of Germany, sixty years old and up
ward, who had gone back before the
outbreak of the war to spend their old
age in the fatherland. Since the armis-
tice many of them have returned and
reafirmed their American citizenship
in order to regain their estates. In
cases where the applicants are sus-
pected of disloyai conduct during hos
tiiities; no awards have been made.
Poles. Czecho- -Slovakians, and ma
tives of Alsace and Lorraine are ap-
plying in large numbers fo' the re-
that they are no longer alien enemies,
but liberated citizens of friendly ma
tions. No such claims have been al
owed by the custodion. Their dispo-
sition will rest with Congress when
it considers the ultimate disposal of
other enemy property. The ustodian
has no authority at present to make any
distinction between Wiberated" Ger
mans and the other kind.
Under the authority of q recent
amendment to the alien property act,
the custodian has made restitution
during the last week to many French
and Belgians who were held in terri
tory occupied by the Germans during
the war. 1t was considered necessary
to confiscate these estates in order
to protect the owners themselves, from
whom the Germans might have ex-
torted the title. In any case, 1T was
impossible to determine the real own
ershp during hostilities.
Recent applications show consider
able confusion as to the status of
property owned by Germans who lived
IN the United States during the war,
according to Mr.. MacLean Such prop
erty was not confscated except in
cases where the owners were interned
as result of unfriendly conduct In
these cases it is still held like all
other enemy property, awaiting new
legislation to determine it's disposal.
A total of more than 1000 app,ica-
tions for restitution have been made
to the Alien Property Custodian. Of
this number about 900 have been con-
sidered. Decisions have been made in
425 cases. Restitution to American
citizens number 106. No awards are
made directly by the Alien Property
Custodian unless the facts in the case
are SO clear as to be unquestionable
Otherwise, they are referred to the
courts for trial. At present about 100
cases are in suit.
