YET
CONGRESS WILL WRESTLE WITH
QUESTION DURING PRESENT
SESSION
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. (JP) —
Among the hard problems which con
gress must tackle this session is the
prize mess to be found in the German
war claims.
The House Ways and Means commit
tee is hoping to find something to re
commend and it is hoped that before
the present Congress dies next March
a bill may be passed making it pos
sible to close up the accounts.
American citizens have a bill against
Germany for death, injuries and prop
erty losses sustained during the
World war. Approximately 300 mil
lion dollars worth of German private
property rests in possession of the
Alien Property Custodian. The bulk
is composed of bank deposits, stocks,
bonds, mortgages, real estate, factor
ie and legacies to German nationals
whose payments have been withheld
pending the settlement of awards by
the Mixed Claims commission to
American nationals.
On the official side the American
government is beholden to German
nationals for ships seized in Ameri
can ports when the United States en
tered the war, for German radio sta
tions operating1 on American territory,
and for certain patents seized under
the trading with the Enemy act, which
were termed over to thfe Army and
Navy department. The value of these
German private claims against the
government has not yet been fixed.
They will be made the subject of an
adjudication independent of the pro
! cedure adopted by the Mixed Claims
i commission in determining the awards
i
J to American claimants.
[ As a result of prolonged hearings
[ before the Ways and Means commit
[ tee it is believed that the way has
| been paved for a equitable solution
' to protect alike the interests of Amer
ican claimants and the rights of
German nationals.
American nationals already have
been awarded $140,000,000 while
claims still awaiting adjudication will
bring the final total up to $190,000,
000. The awards bear five per cent
interest. Indemification for deaths
and personal injuries to the amount
of $3,000,000 has been awarded
American claimants.
The heaviest reimbursement to
American nationals is that awarded to
American underwriters for losses paid
by them on ships and cargoes destroy
ed by German submarines. It amounts
to roundly $50,000,000, of which $14,
000,000 represents interest calculated
up to January 1, 1927. American in

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and Justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. "Looking Ahead" to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is "Looking Ahead."
