HUN AND AMERICAN-HELD
PROPERTY RETURN IS UP
Germans Disposed to Exchange It
if United States Takes Sim
liar Course.

PARIS, May % (by the Associated
Press) The subject of German prop
erty in the United States and Ameri-
can property in Germany is receiving
the careful attention of the experts.
preparatory to an exchange of notes
determining the situation.
German property in the United
States. outside of ships, is estimated
at $450,000, 600. American property
in Germany is estimated at about
81 SO, 900, 900. The Germans declare
that the American property is prac-
tically intact. Apparently they are
disposed to return it, if the United
States will adopt a similar course.
While recognizing the principle of
inviolability of private property, the
American view is that much of the
German property, in the United States
is semi-governmental, and therefore
not protected as private property.
The merchant ships in American
ports will undoubtedly be retained.
The first plan was to offset their
value against the American share of
reparations, but it is proposed now
to purchase the ships. the purchase
price being utilized by Germany to
meet reparations due the allies.
This latter proposal is still under
consideration, and, if adopted, will
be subject to the approval of Con-
gress for the purchase of the ships.
