Shall Enemy Property be Returned? A Long-Term View

The ultimate disposition of some hundreds of million dollars' worth of property of enemy aliens, now under the control of the United States government, awaits a decision. In addition to patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc., the Alien Property Custodian has subjected to control enemy property amounting to nearly 200 million dollars, composed primarily of business enterprises. The United States Treasury has blocked some 330 million dollars worth of the assets of enemy nationals not involving control over specific productive assets.Many international lawyers hold that international law requires postwar restitution of, or in lieu of restitution compensation for, enemy private property sequestered during a war; and an important question of policy now presents itself. This article, on the basis of long-term considerations, advocates a policy of restitution.

Sechsstellige Trigonometrische Tafel

THE main content of this volume consists of a six-figure table of sines, tangents, cotangents and cosines over the range 0°-45°. Each page represents a range of 10 minutes, the intervals being 10 seconds, so that it contains 60 entries for each of the four functions. Each individual entry is supplied with its corresponding first difference, and tables of proportional parts are also appended. Sechsstellige Trigonometrische Tafel Edited by Herman Brandenburg. Pp. xxiv + 304. (Copyright vested in the Alien Property Custodian, 1944: first published in Leipzig, 1932.) (Ann Arbor, Mich.: J. W. Edwards; London: Dr. J. L.

Tables of Elementary Functions

THIS book is yet another example of a photolithoprint reproduction made in the United States by authority of the Alien Property Custodian. The original work, compiled by Emde at Stuttgart and published in 1940, is presented in conjunction with its English translation. Much of the information to be found in the 1933 Jahnke-Emde is included, with certain modifications ; broadly speaking, those tables of elementary functions which were omitted from the 1938 edition and later found their way back into the American reprint.
