Styling American liberty as the

GERMAN PROPERTY
A NJ PLY SECURES
AMERICAS CLAIMS
Half Billion Held Is More
Than Double Amounts
Demanded.

The American government may
encounter new difficulties with the
allies when an effort is made TO
| settle the claims of citizens of this
country against Germany.
The allies, II Is pointed out. hold
first mortgage on all German as
sets for the payment OF reparatfons.
Large payments to be- made TO
| America. II is thought, might raise
objections similar to those sur
rounding Americas attempt to col
lect the 3241.000.oo0 owed for the
maintenance of the army on the
Rhine.
Since this government did not
ratify the treaty of Versailles. util-
ization of the international mach n
cry provided for the settlement of
claims is not possible. In the same
way, Americas claim for the Rhine
army was passed up because this
government was not a member of
the reparations commission. which
is charged with allotment OF the
gold marks paid by Germany.
Lone Game DincuIt
1t Is the intention of this govern
ment to settle its claims against
Germany directly. through a mixed
tribunal on which will be repre-
sentatives of both nations. The
tribunal would adjudicate the
claims. and then 1t would be up to
Germany to pay. This might be diff
hcult. because the allies are already
demanding payments in larger sums
than Germany has ever been able to
meet.
Claims of American citizens arise
chiefly from the unrestricted subma-
rine warfare before America be-
came a belligerent The most con-
siderable group arose from the sink
ing of the Lusitania. Other claims
are for the damage of American
property in Germany and in areas
where there was fighting. The to-
! tai of the claims Is not accurately
known, but they will amount TO
something like 5000. 900. 900. Com
pilations are on file with the state
| Department. but II Is thought that
| many of the demands were submit
ted in larger amounts than the
claimants actually hoped to obtain
Security More Than Ample.
payment. however, through the fact
that this government still retains
some half billion dollars worth OF
alien property sequestered during
the war. The property is held and
| administered by the alien property
custodian. and the resolution OF
peace with Germany specifically
| provides for its retention until all
claims are settled.
Not that the government will dis
pose of this property to settle claims
il 1t can be avoided. Rather. there
is an almost universal desire to re-
store it to its former owners as
soon as possible
But the property constitutes a
| guarantee of German payment
| Should the German government de-
cline to yield on claims, or perhaps
II for other reasons collection was
impossible, the property could be
| used. Then IL would be up to the
| German government to reimburse
its own nationals.
