GERMAN AGENI
DENIES CHARGE
' OF LIQMION
BERLIN. — Germany has not li
quidated American private or busi
ness property, Clemens von Delbur
eck, acting minister of justice, told
The Associated Press correspondent.
^ He declared that Germany did, on
March 4, 1912, issue a ruling where
by the liquidation was permitted
because America already had done
the same.
While America carried out this
liquidation measure, the minister
said that Germany never did so, but,
on the contrary, merely regulated
and administered American proper
ty. “When this administration is
removed the. Americans will have
their free property again," said j
Herr von Delbureck. 1
“In no single case has Germany
touched or violated American trade
marks," continued the minister. In
i
the case of patents we distributed
^licenses for their use by Germans
in five cases, but we never declared
American patents null or expired.
“American patents and trade
marks might be limited in Germany
by an act of January 3, .1918, if it
lay in the public interest, and a
German could have, under certain
Y circumstances, a license to use an
American patent. This order was
issued because America, long be
fore, had passed a similar law and
operated it in general. Germany;
was particularly hesitating in all ■
these questions, notwithstanding
America passed a pretentious law of j
this kind, because Germany hoped :
to be able soon to resume friendly
-j business relations with the United
States.”
The ministry of justice quoted
A. Mitchell Palmer, formerly alien
property custodian of America, as 1
-•having declared in his report to'
the United States senate in Febru
ary last that Germany had done
the same as America in liquidating
alien property, but had always been
a little ahead of America in doing
so.
“it is false to say that Germany
(preceded America, and correct to
say that Germany only used retalia
tion,” said the minister.

\ A floating cannery will be con
C structed immediately at Ketchikan
“ by the newly incorporated Alaska
• Union Fisheries, according to H.
• V. Henrikson, secretary-treasurer,
: and secretary of the Alaska Labor
i Union, Ketchikan branch. This can
■ nery will be followed by a cold
storage plant, which :
ed in a central spot on the west
1 coast. It will be erected as soon
as possible this year.
! “The idea of this canneiy,” said
Mr. Henrikson recently to a rep
resentative of the Ketchlsan Daily
Chronicle, “is to take care of the
surplus fish which the fishermen
are sometimes unable to sell. In
the recent lockout near Port Al
exander, which lasted 16 days, the
fishermen collectively lost ever $75,
000.”
Besides the canneries and cold
storage plants which the new Union
Fisheries expect to buiiri. there will
be raild cure stations and co-opera
tive stores, said Mr. Hettriekson.
The company is incorporated for
$500,000, the par value of the
shares being $100 each.
j “We have already had $100,000
pledged by the fishermen in lots of
from $100 to $500, and the rest
will be easily taken up," he said.
The officers of the company are
J. L. Jones, president; Eugene
Wacker, vice-president, and H. V.
Henrickson, secretary-treasurer. The
board of directors consists of tl\e
three officers, with the addition of
J. Kayser of Port Alexander.
By-laws for the organization were
adopted, at a meeting of the board
of directors held recently. The
present officers are temporary only.
