BREAK IT HERMAN TRADE
WASHINGTON— Property in
the United States owned hy the
kaiser former Chancellor Von
Bethmann-Hohweg the German
"junkers” generally and the Ger-
man government itself will he the
last to go under the hammer under
the plans of A Mitchell Palmer
alien property custodian to sell
German owned property here to
the highest bidders
Mr Palmer’s testimony to the
Senate appropriations committee
in which the proposed necessary
legislation which was made pub-
lic today makes plain that prop-
erties of merely minor individual
probably will not be sold but that
the direct purpose of the move is
to break up the outpost of kultur
in America
To Break the German Rend
j "The time has come’’ Mr Palmer
told the senators “when the owner
ship of some of these great German
'properties should he permanently
j sparated from Gorman capital and
'that the enemy might as well know
that the connection which he has
been able to maintain with Ameri-
can industry and commerce is brok
en not simply during the war but
broken never to be restored
“The German Empire through
its financial operations has put an
industrial and commercial chain
all the way across the country and
through our insular possessions
We have become convinced that it
would be wise and highly desirable
at this time if the ownership of
sc me of those properties could he
permanently taken away”
If the legislation be adopted
Mr Palmer said it was his inten-
tion to sell principally properties
in this country in which the Ger
man government and the "junker”
capitalistic class are interested an
not disturb that of minor individ-
uals Government Owns Shipping Stock
The Hamburg - American and
North German Lloyd wharves and
docks at Hoboken N 1 Mr Pal-
mer told senators are "a part of
the German Empire’s commercial
gasp upon this continent”
Senate Owen of Oklahoma said
he understood part of their stocic
is owned by the kaiser represented
by Her Rallin
"There is no question about the
intimate relationship between the
German government and the Ham-burg-Americanline
” Mr Palmer
told the committee "Neither is
there any doubt about relations be-
tween the German government and
manv other great industrials enter-
prises in this country which have
come within the control of the
alien property custodian”
Plans of the German shipping
lines to hold their dock properties
for extension of German commerce
afte the war were disclosed by Mr
Palmer who added:
“That is a fair indication of the
hope and purpose of enemy capital
that not a day shall elapse when
the war is over before they again
put their grip upon the commerce
and industry of America ou can-
not strike a heavier blow at the
enemv today than to make him un-
iderstand that he has lost his con-
nect cm with the industry and com-
merce i f the American continent
Not to Injure Private Enterprise
“The - large enterprises are
closely all’ll iated with the German
government Where a German sub-
ject has an investment over here
of a private individual character
we ought not to disturb it Rut
Vulcanizing and Repair Work

Custer City Oklahoma
these great concerns financed by
the Deutsches Bank supported by
the junker class are the kind we
ought to Americanize”
In one city Mr Palmer did not
name he said seven or eight great
i mills were entirely German owned
"It is a part of the German trust
Jin this country” he said "I am
I making chocolate in Connecticut
i rails in Pennsylvania woolens
ami worsteds in New Jersey cherni
cals i New York lumber in Elordia

mous profits by reasi n of the very
Conditions for which the enemv is
responsible —war condition- If
must simply sit here with the pos-
sibility of returning both principal
and profits t the German owners
at the end of the war I am doig a
tremendous favor to the German
Empire our enemy
“The desire is that the title as
well as pi ssession shall be perma-
nently taken away from the Ger-
man owners”
Our Interests In Germany Small
American interests in Germany
are egligible compared to Ger-
man interest jierc Mr Talmcr
said

ly what we are doing with her" he
