GERMANY TO HONOR
AMERICAN CLAIMS
Government Said to Regard
Itself as Bound to Pay All
Awards Made.
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.

BY Radio To The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN. March 31.-No matter
what occurs in Germany, whether the
Dawes payments are continued or
not. the German government considers
itself bound to make refunds to all
America whose claims are allowed
by the Mixed Claims Commission, the
correspondent was officially informed
today.
Therefore, the fear of certain Amer
leans that German properties will he

Americans, or the American Govern
ment for them. will receive full pay
ment from Germany. is groundless.
Square Deal From L. :.
Germans consider that, alone among
former enemy nations. America is
giving them Il square deal They al
lowed an American to be umpire in
the Mixed Claims Commission and
they have never regretted their choice,
and il the questions We're to arise to-
morrow, they would again trust Amer
lean fairness
The charge that to return German
property to Germans would react
upon American taxpayers is un-
founded The entire German govern
ment and the financial and business
world rejoice that the issue is finally
coming before Congress. Germa ms
accept the present form of the bill
and believe in the fairness of the
United States Treasury to admins
ter it,
Shipping companies are particularly
satisfied. The Hamburg American
Line and the North German Lloyd
will receive a large share of the
money. The shipping companies, no.
tably the North German Lloyd, will
use the money returned to pay off
debts.
1t is interesting to note that sew
eral companies have given their
claims to Americans as security for
loans and the money when paid will
remain in the United States. The for
eign office declares that more than
half the German claimants wish to
use the money, which they hope to OBJ
tain, for American business.
