j. s. 1|TLEV VALID
TO GERMAN SHIPS
Reparation Commission Can.
not Call Seized Vessels Teu-
ton Assets, Belief Here.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

America considers absolutely valid
her title to the German ships seized
in American ports about the time Of
the outbreak Of war with Germany.
Dispatches from abroad stating that
the reparation commission would ex-
anime whether the ships should be
turned over to that commission as 4
portion of German assets failed to
disturb the equanimity Of official
opinion on the subject. No claim, has
as yet been made for the ships. but II
It should be presented the United
states government will take the posi-
tion that title to the ships was OBJ
tained by President Wilson after the
passage OF q special act Of Congress
authorizing him to seize the ships.
our governments right to the ships is
unQuestioned.
AS for a German claim for the re-
turn of those ships, the American gov
ernment finds nothing in the Ver-
sailles treaty which permits Germany
government gave away all her rights
TO the ships in that treaty.
Therefore the only parties who
could dispute the American ownership
of the vessels are the allies. The lat
ter have taken possession Of all the
here that even though the United
States hasn't ratified the treaty of
Versailles. this government continues
to have~a voice in the disposition OF
any property in the hands Of the prin-
cipal associated powers at the time of
Secretary Hughes will instruct the
American representative on the
reparations commission to express the
American viewpoint if any claim
should be made for the German
shipa.
The theory on which the allies have
been helping themselves to German
sh.rs.:s has been that Germany must
No. &c good losses by submarine de-
str,,r- r--en. American tonnage sunk
by .uomarines was not very large,
but 1t has been assumed that in han
can shipowners would be paid out of
the proceeds of such shipping as had
been seized from Germany.
Forced Aetion Unlikely.
In view Of the uncertain status of
all war claims because the United
States has not ratified aAhe Versailles
treaty, 1t is unlikely that any action
will be forced by the allies at this
time. which would embarrass the
American government in working out
it's foreign policy. 1t Is another sig
nihcant DEVELOPMENT. however. which
proves that either in making a new
peace treaty or accepting certain parts
of the Versailles treaty Americas nego-
tiations will nominally be with, the
Germans, but actually with the allied
powers. This is now ofhcially ad-
mitted.
The sending Of American representa-
tives to the various allied commits
sions Is step. therefore, in the direc-
ton of negotiating a treaty, for 1t
will be through Ambassador Harvey
at London, who sits on the supreme
council, or Ambassador Herrick, in
France, that the United States gov
ernment will work out the details
of the treaty which must follow
the passage of the knox-Porter peace
resolution.
