PALMER BLOCKED
GERMAN SCHEME
No Civilian Service During the
War Had So Farreaching an
Effect as That of Our Cus
todian of Alien Property.
BROKE INDUSTRIAL

Under Democratic Presidential Pri
mary Candidate's Administration
the Vast and Essential Commercial
Operations of Germany Were Taken
Over and Profitably Conducted for
the Benefit of This Country.

story of the tircat World Wur Is writ
ten one of itK most interesting and
thrillint: chapters will disclose the ef
fort of (ieniiiiiiy to m'onnpllsii I he In
dustrial l'olMlleSt of the United Nlutcs.
Few persons, even those hliih In the
commercial life of the nation, hud
more thun a smattering of knowledge
of the great lengths to which (iennan
Influence anil capital had gone to K..I11
a trade supremacy over this country
und uiuke America a commercial and
industrial vassal of the Fatherland.
It was not until Mitchell I'almer,
now Attorney General of the United
States, became Allen Property Cus
todian that the extent and ramifica
tions of Germany's activities In this
direction was revealed. Not only was
It learned that Germany controlled ab
solutely the chemical and dye trade,
which are so closely allied as to con
stitute practically one Industry, but her
tentacles were found ln wireless, In
metals, In surgical and optical Instru
ments, In textiles, ln furs, magnetos
and even ln lumber and general manu
facturing. The chemical and dye Industry la
the key Industry to scores of other In
dustries curried on by American., so
absolutely essential are chemicals and
dyes to successful manufacture ln
many lines. Its importance can only
be fully appreciated hy those who are
engaged In the tradws themselves, but
Its effect extends down to the hum
blest citizen.
Allen Property Sold to Americans.
No civilian service during the wur
bad us farreacbing effect upon the life
and well being of the American public
as that performed by Mr. i'tilmer as
the custodian of alien property. Un
der bis administration the vast and
essential industries which Germany
controlled In the United States were
taken over and operated during the
war for the henellt of this country, and
are now being sold many of them
have been sold already to bona fide
American citizens. In fact, under Mr.
Palmer's direction the entire German
Industrial organization ln the United
Slates has been thoroughly American
ized. When the office of Allen Property
Custodian was created under the Trad
ing with the Enemy Act of Congress
It was thought that Its duties would
he perfunctory and Its accomplish
ments of little consequence. So It
might have been under the adminis
tration of a man less fnibned with the
spirit of Americanism and determined
to use It to the fullest advantage of
his fellow countrymen.
When the act was passeil there was
little accurate or definite knowledge
of the extent of German Investments
In the United States. While they were
known to be large, they were not gen
erally suspected of being either power
ful or unfriendly to American Inter
ests. Consequently the original meas
ure made the custodian a mere con
servator, restricting his powers of dis
position of enemy property to cases
where It was necesury to make snles
In order to prevent waste and to pro
tect the . property. If this situation
hud remained unchanged this country
would have found Itself In the anom
alous position of carefully protecting
for the enemy the great Industrial
and commercial army which Germany
had planted here with hostile Intent.
More than Unit, we would have been
forced to account at the end of the
war for' enormous profits made by
many of these businesses, profits due
almost wholly to the war conditions
for which their owners and their own
ers' friends were responsible.
Palmer Put Teeth In Law.
But Mr. Palmer, when he got on the
Job, had teeth put Into the law. Tie
Induced Congress to amend the law
giving the Allen Property Custodian
the general power of sale, to the end
that the Germnn Industrial army on
American soli might he captured und
destroyed. Thus, Instead of becoming
r,ere conservator of eiiemv property,
he made his office a great fighting
fori In the war. He took over and
became the trust officer for more than
IW.OOO estates aggregating a combined
capital of more than sSiKimsiigsi. Un
der his direction ttie most of tills vast
property has been sold to sure enough
Americans, and the remainder of It
will be sold as purchasers ate found
mid the money fumed over to the
United Stutes Treasury, where It will
await disposition by Congress.
Knomv Investments In America di
