Should such program evolve at the
peace conference, the foreign assets
census will give the American delegates
the knowledge they will need to secure
proportionate return for American
losses.
However, there will be strong pressure
from business groups here against
seizure of enemy property in this coun-
try.
They feel that international law must
be strengthened if investing nations
such as ours are to be free to send their
surplus dollars abroad in search of new
income-producing ventures.
Hence, they want this country, come
the peace, to stick by the principle Of
immunity of private property, and turn
back all enemy assets here.

evolve into a hot debate-and should tho

series of raids in considerable force
on Northwest Germany last week was
climaxed by the devastating raid on
Berlin which occurred Thursday. The
raid, the sixth in month on the Nazis'
capital and the 41st since the start of
the year, brought acknowledgment from
the Nazis themselves that considerable
damage had resulted. British flyers in
the later waves of the attack declared
that flames lighted their path for 25
miles. However, because of heavy smoke
1t was not possible to assess the extent
of the damage.
Thirty bombers were lost on the raid
about the usual percentage for raids of
the magnitude of the one which has
just heaped new destruction on Berlin's
already badly battered buildings.
The Swiss radio reported that among
the damaged buildings was the German
Foreign Office and an ammunition fac
tory.

The late Col. Hugh L. Cooper. the

temporaneously, answered questions for
four solid hours and then for another
two hours asked questions himself. His
questions" Gunther reports, were
penetrating and showed considerable
knowledge of American conditions.
Stain, single-handed, answered the
delegations questions much better than
they replied to him.
One of the secrets of his rise to power
Is his attention to detail. He is said to

that by personal Intervention he has

wanted a colorful write-up of Magnito-
gorsk, the industrial city created in
Siberia during the five-year plan. The
man for the job, he said, was Garry, a
bright reporter on Izvestia. Garry had
disappeared. A search was made and
Garry was found-in concentration
camp. Stain had him released and
put to work writing about Magnito-
gorsk.
He has a robust sense of humor. With
the ebullient Patrick J. Hurley-now
Maj. Gen. Hurley-he got on famously.
Willkie reports in his "One World"
that Stain laughs readily at unsubtle

finite tenacity. His perseverance, says
Walter Duranty, is "inhuman" He is
