stituted old governments and others by
new states in whose Jurisdiction they
were put by peace treaties This ac-
tlon was based solely on the Archduke's
almost unrecognizanle and untraceable
kinship to the ex-soverelgn.
In none of these cases. EXCEPT a small
estate In italy, could 1t be said that the
Archduke was the enemy Of the country
in which his property had been situated.
On the contrary, he was the head Of
armies whose countries are now en-
deavGing to take away his property.
Gets Aid Of Americans.
In the summer of 1919, the Archduke
and his family were living in Switzer-
land. where he made the acquaintance
OF Thomas J. Fielder. an American liv-
Ing in Paris. The bulk Of the Arch
dukes properties were mainly his own.
although use of part of them had been
for a time ilnpra and the opera
ton of various industries was paralyzed
by the disorganization of the war.
An arrangement was made In October.
1919. whereby the 1Archduke transferred
his various properties and interests. ex-
cep those in New Hungary, to a corpora
sion organized in Switzerland to take
over their administration. Mr.. Fielder
was to form a syndicate in America
to acquire substantial interests in the
new company. He obtained the required
calItal, and interested some Of the most
prominent men in America in the en-
terIEise.
When various governments enacted
laws and took otlier measures to con-
fiscate the properties internal differences
arose between the Archducal family and
the American syndicate and litigation in
the Swiss courts followed. All of these
differences have been adjusted by an
agreement executed at the Ritz.
The American syndicate will proceed
to enforce its rights against several
Governments which are Withholding pos
session Of the estate from the Swiss cor
poration. The syndicate is particularly
anxious to get prompt return Of the
reschen works and various lands and
other industries. SO as to resume their
operation and introduce American
methods.
