The Nou-Con fscation
Doctrine

Have we any assurance that the German
property so seized legally, at least un-
der international law be applied to the
satisfaction Of such claims? And, if that
be the intention Of our government, can
1t not be specifically agreed to in the treaty
of peace, thereby avoiding all possible
ambiguity and ground for dispute?
Since the earliest days Of the Republic
it has been declared by the Supreme Court
OF the United States that private property
OF an enemy found in this country at the
outbreak of war should not be confiscated
believe we have advocated that doctrine
at all the international congresses and
conferences, including the Hague Tribunal.
(See instructions of Mr. Adams as Secretary
OF State to United States Minister at St
Petersburg, July 5, 1920
This doctrine was fully discussed bv
Chief Justice Marshall in 1914 in Brown vs.

not seriously concerned about practicali-

nations energetically pushed production
of military air machines. Since the war
tho most destructive aeroplanes have
been built and dirigibles capable of
carrying tons of explosives across the
Atlantic. Coincident with this arnling
elsewhere the President sank back into
the mood which possessed him when he

Who Won the War;?

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: have not seen in any Of the New
York papers General Botha's interview with
Reuters Agency. He speaks not as an Eng
lishman but as one time enemy of Eng
land. We have talked about and kidded
ourselves for SO long now as to what we did
in the war that we are very much like the
fly that sat upon the axle of a chariot wheel
and said "What dust l do make" This is
what Botha told the British 81 carry away
with me also the conviction that of all the
peoples in the Alliance the peoples of the
British Empire have played a greater part
than any other"
Also: "This war was in my judgment pri
marly French war. 1t was not a British
war essentially. Nevertheless the British
people made the war their own and so
saved not only France but civilization itself"
Again: "The part played by Britain from
the day war was declared until this hour
is one that places her first among the ma
tlons Of the earth First in war and first in
peace, we have her primarily to thank for
the overthrow of Prussanism and the say
ing OF the world, and she has come out of
the terrible ordeal Of sacrifice which she
has suffered with her prestige higher than
ever it has been AS Britain led war 50 she
has led peace, and we look to her to secure
its just fulfilment.'
ana hnally: "Britain is the cornerstone
upon which our civilization must rest"

Claims Against
Germany
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

tHc EU31OF OF me I2lOU32o.
C IR: | read with interest Mr. Brooks's
- letter, in your issue of August H. in
which he asked whether the announced
policy of the Administration not to claim
any indemnity from the Central Powers
meant that those who had suffered by rea-
son of the sinking of the Lustania and
similar disasters would receive nothing from
the German government. Mr.. Brooks men
toned only damage claims, but it seems to
me there are far more important claims
viz. those arising out of loss Of life of
American citizens. Of course, these mur-
ders cannot be compensated for by money
damages, but doubtless, in many cases, the
relatives and dependents of those who were
killed have suffered financially as we'll as
mentally by reason of these Illegal acts

leather held at the General Supply Depot
IN Chicago, August 6, quantity of calf

Aeroplane Destruction

The American public has been re-
Gently shocked by reproductions of photo
graphs showing the great aeroplane bon
tre in France. Property for which huge
sums were expended was piled high and
the torch applied. A Congressional COM
mlttee is investigating what seems to
have been wanton waste.
But from the report of the American
Aviation Mission, which recently visited
France, Great Britain and Italy, it is to
be gathered that the chief aeroplane
waste has been on this side rather than
on the other. If there millions have
gone up in smoke, here hundreds of
millions have been otherwise DESTROYED.
We entered the war with practically
no aeropane production. The Admin
lstration, with the astonishing lack Of
foresight which the public has neither
forgotten nor condoned, had done moth
ing or next to nothing. In the early
stages OF our war participation it de-
voted itself chiefly to rejecting the advice
OF our foreign friends and of those
Americans who knew most about the
problem. 1t was interested in punctilo.
IN preserving intact the jurisdictions of
such war leaders as Newton d. Baker
ana Josephus Daniels. 1t forgot the
sensible proposal to have department.
as other countries had established. spe
cially charged with the business of Great
ing ar machines, and as action was i'm
possible without its cooperation it had
its way.
But finally public opinion, building a
hre underneath the baking horse, ener-
glzed 1t out of inaction and there was
ueVeloped a system, even though not the
pest one. Congress, which saw the es-
sentla features of the war more clearly
than the Executive Department. was ex-
'raordlnarlly prompt and liberal in ap-
preparations. A new industry was ere
ated, and 1T was just beginning to func
ton when the war closed Many Ameri-
can lives had been lost, as every dough-
boy knows, because of the lack of aero
plane assistance and protection, but the
lack was happily not fatal to success.
though imperilling it and making unnec-
essary vacancies in multitude of homes
Now 1t appears that the great industry
thus lmprovised has been practically
scrapped. According to the Aviation
Mission, 80 per cent is gone and but 10
per cent remains, and the 10 per cent
is going. The total of the waste sums
up, 1t appears, in the billions. There
Is no air department, there is no policy:
there is merely drift and muddle. Such
are the conclusions, although phrased
more politely, of the Aviation Mission
appointed by the Secretary of War.
When the peace was being negotiated
two courses were open to the representa-
tlves OF America. One was to throw the
weight of their influence on the side of
aviation disarmament and to demand
measures to contine war to land. The
other course was to acquiesce in the de-
velopment of the aeroplane as an instru-
ment of war. Our President was so in
terested in talking about the blessings of
peace and more humane warfare as to

share in the indemnity provided for by the

share in the indemnity provided for by the
treaty, could the German government not
clam credit on the total indemnity to be
paid under the treaty of peace to the full
amount Of private German property con-
hscated by our government, thus compelling
us to turn over this property to the Allied
and associated governments?
OF course, il a private arrangement has
been entered into at the peace conference
to the effect that the United States niav re
tain the German property seized here as
its share of the indemnity. the ouestion ;s
unlmportant; but certainly no intimation
OF such an agreement has been given to
the public
