Trans-Europe Waterway to Aid in Recovery
—i—f >
CONSTANTINOPLE
FREIGHT TRANS
PORT oh THE
DANUBE

By JACKSON V. JACOBS.
Central Tress Correspondent.
Munich.— What is looked upon over
here as ihe most needed and most
promising piece of upbuilding that
postwar Kurope has attempted, the
deepening and widening of the old
Ludwigs canal and its approaches
which link the Rhine and Danube liv
ers in Bavaria, is progressing rapid
ly to completion.
It Is expected to he a hig factor
in restoring Kurnpean trade and in
ternational relations.
The project derives its enormous
importance from the fact that it will
open up 2,000 miles of inland water
way, from Rotterdam. Holland, to
Sullna, on the Rumanian coast of the
Black sea. It will provide a broad
water highway, available for the larg
est of inland steamers, through those
parts of Kurope that the war has
left In chaotic condition, affording for
the first time the hope of direct and
cheap transportation between the
mines, the oil wells and the agricul
tural lands of southeastern Kurope
and the heavy Industrial a-rcas along
the Rhine and in Kngland.
lamdon Western Depot..
It is to lie navigable throughout
its length for ships up to 1.500 tons,
and is expected to he used by 10,
000,000 tons of shipping a year, a
traffic whi< h will exc eed that of an>
inland waterway now existing.
At present the way is open for a
little less than 400 mile* from its
North sea end. and f« r a little more
than 1,200 miles from its Black sea
end.
4The Ludwig canal. which has
linked the Rhine and the Danube
since 1884. was the work of King
Louis I of Bavaria and was cou
rt ructed to a depth of only seven
feet.
The canal itself is only 110 miles
long, but there is much work to be
done on its approaches.
Britain considers London as the
western depot for the new trans
European waterway and Sulina Its
eastern depot where t ransshlpment
will he made for south Russia, Cau
casian. Turkish and Levantine ports.
It is a radical rearrangement of the
continent's existing trade routes, and
its full importance only time can de
velop.
Danube Dwarfs Kiiine.
Few people realize tlie enormous
volume of traffic that the Rhine
normally carries. Duisburg, at the
confluence of the Rhur and the Rhine,
is one of the greatest inland porta
in the world and in normal times
handles a greater annual tonnage
than Hamburg. Here the Rhine serves
one of the oldest industrial areas In
the world.
Geographically the mighty Danube
dwarfs the Rhine. It is one of the
world's great rivers. Among Ku rope’s
rivers the Volga is longer, but car
ries a smaller volume of water. At
Belgrade, where it is Joined by the
Save, the Danube is a mile wide. Be
fore the war. from Passau to the Iron
Gates, it accommodated steamers with
a five foot draft; from the Iron Gates
down to Braila it was navigable for
12 foot vessels, and from Rraila to the
Black sea by the central or Sullna
branch of Its delta it had and en
18-foot channel.
Not many* years before the war
most of its vast length (It Is 1,750
miles long) lay in Turkish territory,
hut now the ownership of Its banks
has l**en carved up out of all recog
nition. At present se\en states have
access to it and five of them occupy
l>oth banks.

up Into that little tree In a hurry. Ife
knew what Peter’s thumping meant.
He knew that Peter could see Reddy
Fox. He was so disappointed that he
almost i riod.
It grew darker and darker and cold

Return of Alien

Washington, F<b. 7.—All alien
enemy property seized by the t'tilled
States government dinging the world
war—totaling about $800,000,000—
would he returned at once to its ori
ginal German, Austrian and Hun
garian owners under terms of a hill
introduced in the senate this after
noon by Senator Borah, republican,
Idaho.
Borah dernaruled Its passage as an
“act of justice to former enemy aliens
and as a frequence to the Paris agree
ment which arranged for the recov
ery of all American claims against
Germany. With the property re
turned, the office of the alien prop
ertv custodian would he discontinued.!
The hill would authorize the presi
dent to return the seized property
within 60 days.
Would Recover Properly.
An amazing feature of the bill was
a provision calling on the attorney
general to recover ail seized property
since sold by the alien property
custodian. I’nder this clause, the re
turnable property would include not
only the $300,000,00o worth of stocks
and bonds now held by the alien prop
erty custodian, but some $.*>00,000.000
worth of factories, steamships and
patents disposed of to Americans since
the end of war.
This would include the Leviathan
and $34,000,000 worth of other liners,
the Bosch * Magneto and a thousand
smaller factories, and all the German
dye patents, which were sold to the
Chemical Foundation. As applied to
patents, factories or steamships, the
original alien owners would also re
ceive a “rental” for the time their
property was used by Americans.
Borah Gets Support.
Borah was supported by Senator
King, democrat of I’tah.
“There is no longer any need to
hold this property,” pair Borah. “The
time has come to release this prop
erty as a matter of self respect.
“The manner Jn which we seized
this property was In violation of our
treaty with Germany. Wp merely took
it over as a trustee to return to its
alien owners after peace. We have
not any right to hold it indefinitely.”
King said the government had no
right to dispose of the seized prop
erty. “We seized this property as a
trust,” said King. “Congress in
tended It should be held sacredly un
til peace. Instead, much of it has
been sold improperly, it should all
he recovered and be turned back to
its rightful owners. We are demand
ing the same treatment from Ger
many for our own citizens, who have
claims against the central powers. '
