Palmer Seizes German Fur Interests To Free American Trade
Washington May 36. Alien Property Custodian A G Mitchell Palmer announces the forced curement of German fur houses in the United States. American firms including Theodore Chorer Company Gauldig & Plum and 4. B. Ellis Jr. Inc. will acquire German holdings and the proceeds go to the U.S. treasury. The move aims to end German control of fur processing and reestablish American industry with made in America fur products. The fur trade had long been dominated by Leipzig firms, with Americans largely acting as collectors and shippers under heavy German pricing and duties. Palmer notes future German purchases of American furs will occur via American firms after the war. Also discussed is a possible fuel conservation order to limit private yacht use of coal or oil to aid the war effort.
