RECOVERY IN AMERICAN CLAIMS ABROAD.

The article reports on American holdings in Germany, which were seized by Allies to take the place of money reparation and reduce Germany's potential for remilitarization, and mentions the procedure of filing compensation or recovery claims. A resource for information about war claims is the Inter-Allied Reparation Agency, which functions in the Western Zones but not in the U.S.S.R.-occupied Eastern Zone. Topics include the issue of whether American corporations should be compensated for their damaged subsidiaries and business losses, the Paris Agreement and United Nations reparations policy, looting during the Soviet occupation, the Potsdam Agreement, the U.S. Supreme Court and State Department's stance on international law, and the U.S. war-claims policy.
