EQUANIMITY IS UNDISTURBED " . J-. - Title to the Ships was Obtained by President .Wilson After Passage of Special Act of Congress. Washington. America considers absolutely valid her title to the Ger man ships peized In American ports about the time of the outbreak of war with Germany. Dispatches from abroad, stating that the reparation commission would examine whether the ships should be turned over to that commission as a portion of German assets, failed to dis turb the equanimity opinion on the subject. No claim has as yet been made for the ships, but if It should be presented, the Uhited States j government 'will take the position that title to the ships was obtained by President Wilson after the pas sage of a special act of-congress au-1 thorizing him to seize the ships. So J far as domestic law is concerned, our | government's rights to the ships is unquestioned. As for a German claim for the return of those ships, the American government finds nothing in the Versailles treaty which' permits Germany to make such a claim as the Berlin government gave away all her rights to the ships in that treaty. j Secretary Hughes will instruct the i American representative on the repa,-1 rations commission to express the j American viewpoint if any claim ! should be made-for the German ships, j Senate Passes Relief Measure.
