Germany moves to recover seized property in United States
Washington August 13. The German government has begun steps to recover seized German property in the United States from World War I. The German ambassador presented a formal communication to Secretary Kellogg seeking open negotiations, while the state department had no comment. The note notes the Dawes plan and U S benefit, and argues for settlement of the seized properties. Congress had declared German property should remain held until private losses to American citizens are satisfied, limiting executive action. The administration contends Congress must speak before disposals occur and questions Dawes plan effects on status of seized German property.
