Extract

When faced with the problem of how enemy property should be treated in the present war the belligerents have evidently followed in general the procedure of examining the measures taken during the last world war and the application of the provisions in the treaty of peace, in conjunction with their own national laws. They have apparently also considered how closely they should hold to the time-honored principle that during a war the property of enemy individuals and companies should be merely sequestered and not confiscated. Their decision on this point has in some cases apparently been influenced by the nature and extent of enemy property within their territories and by the degree to which it had been and could be utilized for carrying on economic as well as political warfare against the state which had given the property its protection.
