Holland Citizens Case In Alien
Property Suit Dismissed

Chief Justice Mccoy of District Su

petition of Jacques Kri1n and Zoon
of Amsterdam, Holland, to compel
Howard Sutherland, alien property
custodian. to return 10 shares of stock
of the Erie Railroad Co, seized as
German-owned under the trading with
the enemy act.
The court held that the property
acquired after the war began and be-
fore the passage of the act should
not be returned because the neutral
claimants were merely holding the
German owners. The Dutch claim

FIXING THE FAULT

FIXING THE FAULT
We are always suspicious of states
men,
/ We always are quick to complain
That they're all in the game with the
same sorjid aim
Viz: to get into office again.
When obnoxious laws are enacted
We grumble and mutter and fuss,
And humble and moan and murmur
and groan,
Yet they wouldn't be there but for
us.
We don't like the way we are gov
erned,
We hate to abide by the rules
Which are made, we declare, with a
wall of despair
BY a pack of political tools.
Our freedom, we say is imperilled;
Our rights, which we've always
held dear,
VIII soon be snuffed out, yet there
isn't a doubt
That we'll vote the same crowd in
next year.
Our earnings are mopped up py taxes
We can't have the drinks that we
need
We are paying too high for what
ever we buy
To eat, wear, ride round in, or
read.
This state of affairs should be mend
ed,
The government needs fearless men,
Then election day comes and we beat
on our drums
And put all the 'ins" in again.
And so it will be in the future
As it always has been in the past,
We will thunder and storm and cry
out for reform
And gaze at conditions aghast.
And although the state of the
nation
We meet every day to deplore,
We shall be just as free as such
dubs ought to be,
And maybe a little bit more.
