THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON. TUESDAY, JUNE 27. r GERMANY TAKES STANDS AGAINST HEAVY TAX LEVY Br. DtM Uwrtin (Copyright. 19, by The Joarnai) Washington. June 27. Germany has riven the United States government of i ficia.1 assurances that 'no confiscatory "taxes will be levied upon the property - returned -to German citizens by the alien property custodian here. The German government ' realises that if existing statutes were literally interpreted it might mean that the property of Germans seised liere during the war would find its way into the hands of the Berlin government and ' eventually would be part payment to ' the allies on the war Indemnity. This fact more than anything else has deterred American officials from - recommending the return of the Ger . man property to their owners, it being argued that while the American -government may have sentimental objec tions to confiscating private property, the same property would be confiscated anyhow by the German authorities. MARKS PHOMISE Public opinion in the United States , on this argument led the German gov ernment to take up the question in an effort to persuade the United States government that Germany would not confiscate the property. The depart ment of finance in Berlin has exam ined the laws and issued a ruling to the effect that the taxes may be paid in the present value of German marks. This makes all the difference in the world. -Two -German tax laws were adopted in July. 1)19. and December. 1919 respectively and in the former case the value of the mark was 13 to a dollar and in the latter 49 to a dollar. If taxes were to be paid on that valu ation it would mean virtual confisca tion. But the German government of ficially, advises the United States that it hasv no intention of applying the value of the mark as of July or De cember. 1919. but only as of the date - on which the property is returned. COULD JfOT ISTEEVE5E According to he statisticians of the German finance department, the tax would in no case go beyond 18 per cent and in many cases where the property returned is of relatively small size the tax would range from 2 to 4 per cent.' Thef-e taxes, it. is admitted, are high, but they do aot mean the taking of the whole thing as was supposed would be the case -if the. tax laws were in terpreted as the American government thought. - The Gertnan 'government- la naturally interested in seeing the prop erty of its nationals restored and was quick to point out that fears of con fiscation by the Berlin authorities need not be entertained. - .... The United States government' had, of course, no power to intervene as between German citizens ana Ue Ger man government, though the good of fices of the department of state wefe frequently suggested as a means of preventing German confiscation. FIGHT EXPECTED . Instead the German government has voluntarily interpreted its laws Of 1919 and mad it clear that it will not penalize- its nationals simply because the difference between - existing rates to day and three years ago is so large. This action will nr-ce it difficult for congress to withhold approval of Presi dent Harding's plan . on that ground, though ts expected a lively fight will ensue ia both the senate and the Jiouse on the question of paying American citizens the claims they hold against Germany for acts committed ' during the war. The adjustment of these claims, which will be taken up by a mixed commission, may be sought first be fore all the German property Is re turned. The present plan contemplates returning individual proporties up to 110,000 in value and would keep in trust approximately 35J080,W0 to $450,000,000 other properties Of German ownership pending further develop ments in American policy.

A channel project fostered b the United States navy in connection with ? the Tongue Point naval base is reported to call for the improvement of the Astoria Harbor from the site of the naval station past theh city and to the sea, to provide for a channel 3,000 feet in width, with a minimum depth of 40 feet at low water. It is said thav engmeers estimates for this work have been prepared and that the navy department will present the project to congress for an appro priation at the next session of that body. The United States army engi neers engaged, in making a survey of the entrance of the Columbia river will finish their work Tuesday.

Last year it was predicted by the engineers that a minimum low water depth of 50 feet at the entrance of the river would be brought about by the action of the tides and currents.
