Here Senator Knox demanded II. as
he understood IT, the American creditor

This statement Of the case Mr.. Palmer
agreed was a correct one.
There followed discussion a. to the
sales Of German property In this ooun-
try which the peace treaty undertakes 70

theticai case to Mr.. Palmer on THIS
point. He asked how q German whose
$1,000, 900 property In this country mad
been sold for 100000 by the Alien
Property Custodian could go about seek
ing redress for the undertake OF his
property. a.,
Mr.. Palmer said that inasmuch as In
the treaty the German Government rec
ognized the validity OF all sales Of the
Allen Property Custodian that the Ger
man in question would have no redress
except that granted him in the trading
with the enemy act of placing his claim
before Congress- Mr.. Palmer asserted

understood that American property In

when asked what the proportion was
of German claims against United States

German debtors, including allen prop

| Palmer said Il must be tremendously ir

not venture q guess at the extent oil

The witness also brought out thai

4 Questioned as to why the treaty had
Ibeen used to validate the acts Of the
Alien Property Custodian in selling
enemy property Mr.. Palmer insisted q
was done TO prevent long and expensive
litigation by Germans against acts Of
the AIien Property Custodian.
Senator Knox demanded to know WHY
It would not have been better to per
nit Germans to 60 into court to estab
