they had achieved nationality. "Con

not follow our present chief magis-

Mr. Harding assailed the admlnis-
tration's policy toward smaller na-
tfons of the western hemisphere, as
serting the executive had usurped
congressional powers to carry on un

Santo Domingo. He declared that

Cape Town. Sept. 17.—-Property of
Germans to the value of 9,000,000
pounds Is to be retained by the
South African government as a loan
repayable In 30 years. This inten
tion of the government was announc
ed today In the South African house
of assembly by the premier. General
Smuts.
He explained that -enemy assets

perty In South Africa totalled 13,-
000,000 pounds of which 3,000,000
pounds had already been paid out to
Germans domiciled in South Africa.
Of the remaining 10,000,000 pounds,
one million pounds would be tempor
arily employed applied In satisfac
tion of South African claims on Ger
mans for debts or *or property in
Germany sequestrated by that gov
ernment.
On the balance of 9,000,000
pounds, the government of South Af
rica has decided to pay Interest at 4
per cent, raising the total to 10,000,-
000 pounds, which will then be held
by South Africa as a loan from the
German owners for a term of 30
yean, the government paying own
ers 4 per cent.
Premier Smuts added that the
government did not propose to pay
this money to the reparation com
mission, whleh would practically
