II. taken from a resident German
alien was taken in direct viola
ton of a solemn treaty, and was
wholly unlawful under international
law.
We had no more right to violate
the treaty of 1928, by which we
solemnly agreed not to seize the per-
sons or property of resident German
nationals, than Germany had to vio-
late the treaty of 1880, by which she
agreed to respect the neutrality of
Belgium. Both were dishonorable
and indefensible acts. Each made
treaty scrap Of paper.
The most honorable thing and the
only honorable thing to do is to ac-
knowledge the violation of the rights
of resident German aliens and return
to them their property, both that
still in possession of the Government
and that which has gone into private
hands in ways sometimes honest and
oftener in ways that were not
honest.
1t is not German aliens rights
that concern us, but the honor and
good name and pledged faith of our
America. We cannot afford to have
those stained even for the sake of
