Row Over Sequestered Alien Property

WASH1NGToN.-A big row In con-
greSs Is brewing over proposed
legislation to return to Its owners at
once large part Of the German prop
erty sequestered by the United States
during the war.
heated controversy has arisen over
the question of relinqulshing the alien
property In advance of the settlement
of American war claims against Ger
many, and the question of applying any
part Of the seized property to the salts
faction Of American claims, even
though payment Of these claims by the
German government can hardly be eX-
Dected for many years.
The administration bill. drafted by
Thomas w. Miller, allen property GUS
todian, with the approval of President
Harding, provides for the return of
properties valued at less than $4,000
and for the return Of not more than
$4,000 worth of larger trusts.
1t Is provided that none of the pat
ents, such as the dye and chemical
patents, shall be returned at this time.
Democratic members Of the commit
tee, with single exception, are un-
derstood to favor the return of all alien
property. 1t is indicated that the
Democrats will make partisan issue
Of the matter in the house, advocating
the return of all alien property in the
immediate future
