PALMER SAYS HE
WELCOMES PROBE
Replies to Congressmen Cov
ered in Reports Ready
For President
By Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 27.—A. Mitch
ell Palmer, the alien property cus
todian, said in a formal statement
last night that tho resolution of
Senator Calder, of New York, Re
publican, calling for information cov
ering the operations of the custo
dian's office was fully answered in
his report, now ready for submis
sion to President Wilson. He said
the President doubtless would
promptly transmit the report to
Congress and added that he wel
comed the fullest investigation of
his office.
Senator Calder's resolution, which
was adopted Monday by the Senate
without objection, called for com
plete information relative to the op
eration of the office of the alien
property custodian. Senator Frel
ingliuysen, of New Jersey, Repub
lican, introduced a resolution yes
terday proposing Congressional in
vestigation of the work of the cus
todian.
In his statement Mr. Palmer said
his report contained, as required by
law, a list of all persons appointed
or employed, with the salary or com
pensation paid to each and a state
ment of the different kinds of prop
erty taken into custody and the dis
position made of it.
Mr. Palmer said a published state
ment that "some New York lawyer
has received a fee of 150,000 is ab
surd." No such fee had been paid
by his office, he declared, and none
anywhere approaching that sum
had been paid by any corporation
in which the alien property custo
dian has an interest.
Mr. Palmer said the highest-paid
person in the alien property custo
dian's office was the custodian him
self, "to whom Congress generously
granted a salary 'not to exceed
$5,000.'" Every employe, he said,
had been taken front a list of cli
gibles furnished by the Civil Serv
ice Commission, except attorneys,
who are expressly exempted by law!
"When all the property in my hands
shall have been appraised," Mr.
Palmer said, "it is likely that the
total value thereof will reach $700,-
000,000, divided into 33,000 trust es
tates. The cost to the Government
for administering these estates has
been about $1,000,000, or less than
one-seventh of one per cent."
