DEBT PAY PLAN
An Accounting of Alien Prop
erty Held by U. S. GiTen.
Custodian Shows Senate Where
$350,000,000 Worth Lies.
SECURES GERMAN PAYMENTS?
United States Has $415,000,000
In Claims Outstanding.
Might Simply Tax This Prop
erty Instead of Returning It.
Washington, April 10. An account
ing of the $350, 000,000 worth ot
enemy property held by the govern
ment was given the senate today in a
report, the first compiled since Feb
ruary. 1919, filed by Alien Troperty
Custodian Thomas vV. Miller, In re
sponse to a resolution by Senator
King, Democrat, Utah.
"The final disposition of this prop
erty." Mr. Miiier said, "wiii undoubt
edly have a direct bearing on the eco
nomic relations between this? country
and Europe with particular reference
to the late enemy powers.'
Discussing the 1416.000.000 of
American claims against Germany,
Mr. Miller recalled he terms of the
Knox-Porter peace resolution indicat
ing that no disposition should be
made of enemy property held by the
United States until the German gov
ernment had satisfied American
claims. He said that congress must
evolve some plan whereby claims
against Germany may be legally ad
judicated. "There are several classes of claims
against Germany," Mr. Miller said,
"as, for instance, those of Americans
whose cash was seized by the German
custodian, and who are now being of
fered the return of their money at the
depreciated value of the mark, -which
today is valued at one-third of a cent
for each mark. This proposition
amounts to practical confiscation on
the part of the German government.
There are also claims on file growing
out of submarine sinkings previous to
April b, 11T.
"If the German property were re
turned today without any condition
the tax laws in force in Germany
won id require lierman nationals or
other people under the jurisdiction of
the German government whose prop
erty was returned to them, to give up
in taxes to the German government a
major portion of the funds returned.
"It has been suggested that the
amount of money which the German
government would realize from such
taxation, might form the basis of a
fund in America for satisfying claims
of Americans against Germany."
Mr Miller's report gives the details
of about 33.000 active trusts repre
senting property in every state and
territory consisting of industrial
plants, steamship lines, banks, land
and cattle companiea, salmon fac
tories, gold and silvar mines and thou
sands of parcels of real estate and se
curities. Answering charges by Sen
ator King that property had been
seized since peace w-as consummated
with Germany last July the report de
clares that the. last property seized
was that belonging to Grover Cleve
land Bergdoll, which was seized May
1921

vere prepared to go Into joint con
ference with the mine union officials
to negotiarte a wage scale.
Before going into conference to dis
cuss the operators proposal, both Mr.
Peck and Mr. Helm said they had not
received any new or modified instruc
tion from- the international policy
committee of the mine workers union
in regard to separate wage agree
ments. The announced policy of the j
union, as set forth bythe committee,
has been not to consider any separate I
sectional wage agreement such as is
sought by the operators in the present
instance. It was fair to assume, Mr.
Helm said, in reply to a question, that
no joint conference would be author
