People who are subjects of foreign
countries with whom the United
States is at war, have been consider
ably. worried about money which they
have on deposit in banks in this coun
try, as well as other property owned
I by them.
It has been feared that the govern
ment would confiscate their property
upon the excuse of a state of war ex
isting. This unfounded fear has been
set at rest, however, by the president,
in a communication coming through
the Federal Reserve board, directed to
j member banks of the Federal Reserve
! banking system, which arrived ves
j terday. The circular follows:
; To Member Banks of Federal Reserve
: Bank of San Francisco:
The department of state on February
8 issued the following statement:
“It having been reported to him
that there is anxiety in some quarters
on the part of persons residing in this
country' who are subjects of foreign
states lest their bank deposits 01
other property should be seized in the
event of war between the United
States and a foreign nation, the presi
dent authorizes the statement that all
such fears are entirely unfounded.
The government of the United States
will in no circumstances take advant
age of a state of war to take posses
sion of property in which internation
al understandings and the recognized
law of the land give it no just claim
or title. It will scrupulously respect
all private rights alike of its own citi
zens and of the subjects of foreign
states.”
It has been suggested by the federal
; reserve board that member banks give
i wide publicity to the above statement
1 and that wherever it appears advis
able it should be printed on placards
| and posted prominently. Yours tuly
A. RAINS.

The discoverers of the “pay” at

sticks, muck and smaller gravel, and
