COLLECTING DEBTS FROM GERMANY.

There is not going to be any difficulty about collect
ing American claims against Germany They have al
ready been collected through the seizure of German pro-
perty under the federal law by Alien Property Custodian
A. Mitchell Palmer.
The property already seized and sold or in process
of being sold amounts to about $75000O0O0 This is said
to be enough to offset all American property seized in
Germany and to leave enough to satisfy all American
claims private and public for property destroyed by
German acts of war; There is likely to be balance
left.
This estimate pre-supposes that there will be no in
demnity imposed Germany and above the various
claims for damages which would have been presented
If we had not entered the war.
There is apparent intention on the part of the
United States government to unload its actual war ex-
penses on Germany as our Allies talk of doing. This
policy may change before the peace conference ends and
bill may be presented for at least part Of our ex
penses to harmonic with the policy of Britain France
and Italy. Such payment would necessarily have to be
enacted from Germany with some difficulty, over long
period.
However, if the present plan of no indemnity is main
tained the whole business of settling accounts with Ger
many will be simpler and easier for the United States
than for any other beligerent.
