Restoring Confiscated Property

Word comes from all the liberated
countries that the problem of restoring
confiscated Jewish property is becoming
more acute and complex.

The troublesome and vexing knot could
be untied with a single blow by declar-
ing that all property belonging to Jews
before the war be returned to them. Such
action, however, could result in hardship
and injustice to those who in good faith
paid a valuable consideration for the
property they purchased.

If such drastic measures cannot or
will not be used, then we shall probably
have to wait until the end of the war
for large scale restorations. The makers
of the treaty of peace can, no doubt,
find some formula which will serve for
determining to whom the disputed prop-
erty belongs. Until then the Jews of the
liberated countries will have to use the
legal machinery of their respective coun
tries to recover their stolen and confis-
cated property.

The inability of many to recover their
property will place them in dependent
and even beggared categories. Thi:.
means that the burden of the relief and
rehabilitation agencies will be increased.
This means that the Jews of America,
who had hoped that many of their for-
mer well-to-do co-religionists in the lib-
erated countries would no longer need
holp, will have to dig clown deeper than
they had expected.

Then, too, the peoples of Europe may
solve the problem of confiscated Jewish
property and all private property by
socializing it.
