'.should pay aiul probably will p ay I j ultimately, liut not noon enough jto suit the American clalmanta. i Tli's Iii HUbMance Is the ultuatlotl that lias arisen us a result of th? tangle over alien pro|ierty and tb? . -I .inns i?f tin* rami lies of AmerS icaiiM who IonI their live* In the i l.usltania disaster uh well an prop jeity claims. The CongrfHS of the United States has hesitated to permit Herman property held In America to be returned to Herman cltlaeM amounting to over $400,000,000 until Home arrangement was made to pay American Halms against (iermany amounting to about 1-fiO, 000,000. Now It Is proposed in a bill Introduced by Represen tative Ogden Mills, of New York, with the approval of the Treasury | Department, that tile United j Stales iHfltie bonds to pay the Am jerlcati claimants and thus allow the German property to be re leased at once. :?>? Ill support of the incasufo, therefore, there are aligned all the people who want to regain poaaaa-i aion or seized property and all the people who have unsatisfied claims against Germany. The only thing larking bun been the money to flu- j :in?r (tin transaction. The Treaa ury would borrow in varying sunt* ho U* to pay off the $250.000,000 ' and then collect the same amount' from Germany over a period of i eight years or more, out or the j coiptfi from Germany through tjfiH l)uweB plan annultlea. The Amar-i lean Government la receiving ; money under Chat plan to covar I hu ti i h apent by the United States after the Armistice In maintaining an Army on the Rhine In defer ence to the wishes or the Allied j governments. About $250,000,000 waa apent in thla way by the American Gov-1 ? r.uueji t and it already haa been paid by the American taxpayer through income taxes levied alnce the war. Instead or relmburalng j lh. A iiwrimn taxpayer the neW plan proceeda on the theory that j the money rrom the Dawes plan I can lor a f?-w yearn at leaat IwJ IuhmI to repay In part the boflB lalioiit to bo floated to pay Amefi can claims. Ultimately It In tfei expectation of the American Gov eminent that Germany will paj (.hi of ih?- Dawen annultieH enougtl money to cover all outlay* madd by the American Government. The point la that no matter how it ndeal ruble It may he to pay ??rlcan rlalina out of American fund*, the Individual who *ul< feted loHHea could not get their .money any other way at present, Other foreign govern men ta have fl nun cod the Iorrch Of their na tionals in virtually the aame way. In Hiipport of the plun, more over. the President and Secretary "if the Treasury remove all pos sible demand for the conflscatfoa of Oerman property held by the Culled States. Chairman Ilorah, of the Heuate foreign relations [committee, has Insisted that the traditional policy of the Coiteai State* which in nv.ainnt con fiscal Hon should long ago have bee?j it pplii'd In Ho- return of ihd seised property. A a for the payment by the Am | ? rlcan people even temporarily of V money that Germany should py, [the argument Is made that tl*| Cnlted States Ik financing the al-i [l lied Klde ii k well, helping In vaJ | Hour ways to pay the British add In ih h debts to America.
