Recognition of Acts of Foreign States and Governments — Expropriation Decrees — The Law of Switzerland.

In a recent well-documented article Domke has criticized this writer for not having cited a single case for a proposition contained in the writer's book, Internationales Konfiskations- und Enteignungsrecht.

The nationalization of foreign-owned property presents problems which put a severe strain upon some of the accepted principles of international law. Chandler Anderson, one of the founding members of the American Society of International Law, pointed out nearly a quarter of a century ago that the principle which safeguards foreign-owned property from confiscation in time of peace "has become a part of the law of nations not merely because it represents a universally recognized standard ofjustice, but also because it is absolutely essential for the welfare of every nation, for without its protection no commercial, or financial international intercourse could safely be carried on." Since that time, the practice of expropriating foreign property by "nationalization" has spread from Soviet Kussia to other countries constituting important parts of the free world strongly opposed to Communism.

In an address before the 1949 annual meeting of the American Society of International Law this writer remarked that the laws governing captured enemy property have never been codified or collected in one place and are very difficult to find and apply. The lack of a handy tool in the field of captured property has been noted at times by others, including Professor H. A. Smith, formerly a colonel with the British 21st Army Group, who observed that the "law of booty is almost unwritten" and Judge Manley O. Hudson, who wrote some years ago in an editorial in this JOURNAL that the "literature on captured property and war booty seemed inadequate."
