That view was expressed by high

preached by any trust company in the

Not only did the Alien Property Gus
todlan do this part in rendering useless
to the foe the millions OF enemy prop
erty in this country. but in an aggressive
fashion the office was a great help TO
the Allies. The report which the Alien
Property Custodian has submitted and
which incidentally has not been allowed
to become public before has this TO say
on that subject: when the armistice
was signed the Alien Property Gus
todian was supplying the Government
with magnetos for airplane and auto
mobile motors. with cloth TO make uni
forms for the soldiers and the dyes with
which the cloth was colored with med
icines. surgical instruments and dress
ings. with musical instruments, ball
bearings, telescopes. optical instruments
and engineers equipment; with cocoanut
charcoal for the making of gas masks ::
with glycerin for the making OF high
explosives. and large number OF other

Alien Property Custodian's supervision,

The report also deals with numberiess
pathetic incidents which featured the
enforcement of a law which so drasti-
cally changed the lives and fortunes of
thousands OF people. many OF them in
nocent of any wrong and condemned
solely because they were of German or
Austrian blood. At the Congressional
hearings designed to get at the facts
with reference to the large number OF
aliens looked after by the Department
of Justice some OF these cases were
strilsingly described. About the most
prominent of these cases was the mis-
