II GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL
ON THIS SCORE. III

+ =. 49, ..fA . .
s. The following article, taken from
recent issue Of the HeDaily Meas Record
Of New York City, one Of the leading
financial and business mems. news
papers Of the United States, will no
doubt prove interesting reading, es-
pecially in view Of the fact that con-
siderable alien enemy property: in the

the World war, has been appropriated
by so-called Americans, apparently
through connivance Of high admins
tration officials during President Will
sons regime. The Daily Meas Record
article reads as follows:

Inquiries among the American firms
alluded to in the recent report made
public in Berlin by Dr. Nieders, privy
G overnment minister raj councillor, in
which the German Government official
aimed to show that American property
seized by the German alien property
custodian during the war period was
accorded "every possible consideration
and forebearance," have served to bear
out the truth of the report in every
respect.
The report, which appeared in the
Daily Meas Record, was intended to
bring out the alleged contrast between
the American treatment Of German
property in this country and that re-.
ceived by American owned property in
Germany.
No Cause for Complaint. s.,
When questioned on the subject
an official OF the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Co., which was mentioned in
the report, declared that the report
was true in every respect, and that
the administration Of their properties
in Germany had given them no cause
flor complaint; that, on the contrary,
/. the company had benefited thereby.
Of all their European holdings, those
in Germany received the best treat
ment, he said.
i An official OF George Borg1eldJ q
!. Co. also laid emphasis on the excellent
manner in which the company's hold
ings in Germany were taken care OF
| during the war period.

5 frmed the statements made regarding
) the fair manner in which their holdings
