Alien Property
to Be Returned

tro-Hungarian empire broke up after
the war has made possible a return
OF large portion of the property
seized from Austrian and Hungarian
nationals who after the peace treaty
became citizens Of the new repub-
lies that assumed friendly dlplo-
matte relationship with the United
States. Mr.. Miller has been proceed
ing quietly with the unraveling Of
numerous claims until the old Aus
trian property is In such shape, that
he can see daylight, and he antici-
pates little trouble from that source
between now and the time congress
acts.
Congress will have to pass on the
disposition of less than half the
Austro-H Hungarian holdings, or prop
erty valued at S1S,OO0,OOO out of a
total Of $40,0000O0 seized when war
was declared. When congress amend
ed the trading with the enemy act
II provided that the possessions OF
citizens Of Czechoslovakia and Po-
land and subjects of the new Jugo-
Slav nation and the section Of old
Hungary added to Rumania might
be returned, and settlement Of the
claims of these people is proceeding
rapidly. Mr.. Miller announced that
possessions valued at more than
100000 already had been handed
back to the owners.
OF the remaining approximately
$30,000.0 900 Mr.. Miller estimated that
about s12,000,0O0 subsequently will 20
to nationals Of the three new Euro
pean states or nationals of the new
section of RumanIa. This will leave
approximately s1S,000,0O0 tied I'M in
trust until congress authorizes the
President, through the alien property
custodian and the Department Of Jus
tice, to return II or dispose of Ii other
wise.
In discussing the Austrian and Hun
garian property seized in this country,
very few pointed out that II included
very few estates of any size--in fact.
only one, the Gladys Vanderbilt estate
valued at S4.000,OO0. which was re
turned after congress provided that
the property Of American women mar
ried to alien enemies prior to April g.
1917, which was taken over during the
war, might be handed .back. Count
