Check-up.
of Alien
Property

Washington. April 10 An ac.
counting Of the s'ISo,uoO.un
worth Of enelny property held hy
the government was given the
Senate today iE 4 report. the first
compiled since February, 1919,
. filed hy Alien Property Custc-
dian Thomas W. Miller in r.
sponse 10 resolution by Senator
King. Democrat, Utah.
The final disposition Of the
property Mr.. Miller said, will
undoubtedly have direct hear
ing on the economic relations be.
tween this country aud Europe,
with particular refereaee TO the
late cnemy powers.
Discussing the <4l5.0oo,0D0 Of
American claims against Ger
many, Mr.. Miller recalled the
terms Of the knox.Porter peace
resolution indicating that no dis.
position should be made Of enemy
property held by the United
States until the Germna govern
ment had satisfied American
claims.
lie said that congress must
evolve some plan whereby claims
against Germany may be legally
adiudicatcd.
There are several classes OF
claims against Germany Mr..
Miller said. 'as for instance,
those Of Americans whose cash
was seized by the German Gus
todian. and who are now being
offered The return Of their money
at the deprecated value Of the
mark. which today is valued at
one. third Of cent for each mark.
This proposition amounts 20 prac-
tically confiscation on the part
Of the German government.
There are also claims on hle
growing out Of submarine sink.
invs previous TO April 6. 1917.
"If the German property were
r. urned to-day without any con
ditions. the tax laws in force IN
Germany would require German
nationals or other people under
the jurisdiction Of the German
government whose property was
returned 10 them. TO give up IN
taxes TO the German government
a ma jor portion Of the funds re-
turned.
"It has been suggested that
the amount Of money which the
German government would reap
from such taxation, might form
the hasis Of fund in America
for satisfying claims Of Ameri-
cans against Germany.
Mr.. Miiier's report gives the
details of about $1,000 active
trusts representing property m
every state and territory consist
inr Of industrial plants. steam
ship lines. hanks, land and cat
tie companies. salmon factories
gold and silver mines and thou
sands Of parcels of real estate
and securities.
Answering charges by Senator
King that property hal been
scized since peace was consented
with Germany last July, the re-
port declares that the last prop
erty seized was that belonging 70
