PARIS, May 2S.-The subject of Ger
man property in the United States
and American property in Germany
is receiving the careful attention of
the Peace Conference experts prepara-
tory to AN exchange Of notes determin-
ing the situation.
German property in the United
States, outside of ships, is estimated
at $3.50, 200, 900. American property in
Germany is estimated at about $780,
100000. The Germans declare that
the American property is practically
intact. Apparently they are disposed
to return 1t If the United States will
adopt a similar course.

While recognizing the principle -

American view is that much of the
German property in the United States
is mi-governmental, and therefore
not protected as private property.
The merchant ships in American
ports undoubtedly will be retained.
The first plan was to offset their
value against the American share OF
reparations, but 1t 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 IL adopted will be

Wants Hearing on Colonies.

The proposal regarding the seized
colonies points out to the Peace Con-
ference that an absolutely impartial
settlement of all colonial claims was
promised in No. of the fourteen
points mentioned in President Wilson'S
address to Congress January s, 1918.
and asserts that IAN impartial settle
ment presupposes a hearing of both
sides before a decision is taken. and
such hearing has not taken place"
while appealing % the promise, and
especially to the principle that the regu-
lation of colonial claims should take
place with due regard equally TO the
interest Of governments and the
governed" says the German note. the
proposal Is made to refer colonial
questions to a special committee This
committee. to be formed of Inandatories
anG experts of both parties, shall take
as the subject of its deliberation tho
aforementioned point five, and other
pei mentioned in President Wilson's
four speeches Of 1918 referring to the
subject; Secretary Lansings note OF
November ), 1918; the article of the
draft of the peace conditions relating
to colonial questions, and section nine Of
the German League of Nations pro-
posal, as well as the interests of the
populations and the governments con-
Ctrued.'
The proposal argues the demand that
Germany renounce ner overseas possess
sCns cannot be reCccciled with the
aImistice terms and holds the view that
GeImany's claim to the restoration Of
her colonies is just.
Germany" it says, lis ready, should

LEAGUE ROYALTY BINDING

Washington, August 15.-That the
league of nations carries in its lang
uage a moral obligation to make war
when directed by the council is the
assertion of the Republican Publicity
Association. To a nation like the
United States it is asserted that such
an undertaking would be as binding
as il we should subscribe to a docu-
ment in terms to wage war. The
statement of the Association, given
out today through its President, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., Is as follows:
"Mr. Wilson is reported to take
the stand that the league covenant
does not bind the United States to go
to war without action by Congress. He
is said to have told newspaper CORE
spondents that nothing in the treaty
or league would bind us to act If Con-
press did not wish to do 30. All the
Executive could do, according to the
Presidents statement would be to rec
ommend action, but Congress would
exercise its Constitutional function to
agree or disagree with him.
TECHNICALLY, of course, the Pres
ident Is correct, but in making an as
sertion of that kind without explana-
ton, he Is guilty of creating gross
misconception of the obligations OF
the treaty and league. Congress and
the country will be bound by the peace
treaty terms precisely as they are
bound by the provisions of any other
treatyinto which we have entered.
Congress at any time can repudiate
any treaty and pass legislation In con-
PREVENTION Of its terms, but in doing
so 1t Is guilty og breach Of interna-
tional faith and the country must take
the consequences. There Is no power
ON earth that can make soldier hight,
but IL he deserts in the face OF the
enemy he Is shot. So 1t Is true that
Congress can do as 1t pleases even
though the league and treaty are
adopted, but If 1t does not conform
its actions to the provisions OF the
covenant it lays the country open to
the wrath of all the other members OF
the league.
at is undeniable that the league
covenant imposes obligations upon Its
members to go to war under certain
conditions. In fact almost every pro-
vision of the document spells war Ar
ticles 10 and II are explicit on that
point. The former sets forth that the
members OF the league undertakes tc
respect and preserve as against ex'
ternal aggression the territorial In
tegrity and existing political inde-
Ipendenoe of all members of the
league Does any sane man contend
that adherence to that declaration
will not involve the signatory nations
In war?
ARTICLE II reads, ANY war. OF
threat of war, whether Immediately
affecting any of the members OF tho
league or not is hereby declared
matter of concern to the whole league
and the league shall take any actor
that may be deemed wise and effec
tual to safeguard the peace OF nations.
