RESTORING
PROPERTY
German Government Has
Returned 135,000,O00
Marks to Americans
ANNULLED ALL
WAR REGULATIONS
Statement Made BY Under
Secretary for Foreign
Affairs

Berlin, Jan 26.-Four hundred mil
lion marks worth of American property
in Germany was taken under control by
the German custodian of enemy prop
erty after the United States entered
the war and Of this amount 1875 100000
marks already have been returned to
owners. according to a statement made
to- day by DR.. Haniel Won Haimbausem
under secretary for foreign affairs, who
formerly was attached to the embassy
in Washington.
He said that although the war still
continued after Germany's ratification
of the Versailles treaty, owing to the
fact that the United States did not sign
the treaty, the German government had
annulled all war regulations aimed at
belligerents, including the United
States, thus Internationally releasing
all American property.
In many cases, he said, Germany had
been unable to effect final settlement
with America because the Versailles
treaty prescribes that such settlements
shall be made through an international
clearing house which will be impossible
until the attitude Of the United States
toward the Versailles treaty is made
clear or separate treaty is signed.

No Economic Difficulties to

Somewhere in France" by CORES
pondent of the newspaper Auevrs
There have been persistent rumor
that he was in Paris but inquiry yes
terday failed to elicit any information
as to his whereabouts except that il
Irish circles assertion was made tina
he was believed to be in Ireland.
In conversation with the CORES
pondent, De Valera is quoted as saying
! 81 left America because at a time wher
the English seek by an implaeable pol
icy of terrorism to brighten our people
and weaken our moral force it is the
manifest duty Of the chief of the Irisl
nations representatives. to be among
his compatriots. Really, it was greatly
to the advantage of Ireland that | re.
main in America"
Asked what he considered to be a
solution of the Irish problem, De Valera
said:
The Irish people claim the right of
self determination. If England should
concede that right there would be no
further difficulties, either with her or
with the Ulster minority. If Ulster
should claim autonomy, we would be
willing to grant it,"
The correspondent inquired If there
were not economic difficulties to be en-
countered in carrying out the irish re-
publican program,

state industry and agriculture are in

would be for representatives of Bel

brought up against the commercial sci
fshness and imperalist pride of Eng
