WASHINGTON, D. 0. (WNS)— International complications be¬ tween tho United Statea and Ger¬ many nre certain to result from the decree issued by Field Mar¬ shal Goering, Stato Department officials said, as they studied the order providing for tho registra¬ tion before Juno SOth of all Jew¬ ish-owned property in Germany of 5,000 marks or more. The feeling in ¦ tho State Department is that if, in the execution of the decree, which empowers (jocring. to con- flscnto property owned by German and foreign .lews, property be¬ longing to Jewish Citizens of th'o United States, including those German refugees who ara now niituralizcd Americans, is expro¬ priated there would bo a definite violation of treaty obligations be¬ tween this country and Germany. Acting-Secretary of State Wel¬ les stated that the United States was .giving urgent* consideration to the possible effects on Ameri¬ can citizens of the Goering decree. Mr. Welles aaid that Ambasaador Hugh Wilson in Berlin had receiv, cd instructions to send full re¬ ports on the,situation as it affects American interests. {Pending clari¬ fication of the decree, thb United States vrill withhold action, but immediate protests are expected if it should be confirmed that'the decree discriminates against Am¬ ericana. The terms of a German- American treaty prbirldes that tho property, of Americans in Ger¬ many "shall not be tt^ken without due process of law, without pay¬ ment and just compensation.

Aho oubject to registration are all property and money -ivhlch German-Jewish refugees living nbrood wero forced to leave behind under the terms of currency ex¬ port iavi. Foreign Jews with property in Germany but who Iivo abroad are to register their hold- ing.i through a legal representa' tive or property administrator living in Germany.
As soon as tho full implications of tho measure became apparent, a rush to liquidate property at any price began among Jews in Ger¬ many and Austria. Jewish hold- inga are being offered for salb at a fraction ot their Worth nnd evbn then buyers aro fow becauao po¬ tential cuitomcTB know that botoro long they will bo ablo to buy even cheaper.
Foreign diplomats here wero keeping in cloao touch, with their homo governments which have ask¬ ed for information concerning the effect of tho decree on their Jew¬ ish citizens. Jews from England, Franco, Holland, Belgium and Czechoslovakia havo substantial property holdings in Germany and Austria. Protests by theae govern¬ ments' are expected to await ac¬ tion by the United States,
Affected by the decree is some¬ thing liko $3,000,000,000 in Jow¬ ish property, $2,000,000,000 in Ger¬ many proper and $800,000,000 in Austria. Ot the total, pcrhapa $250,000,000 belongs to foreign Jows, including Americana ond English. One of tho'most immedi¬ ate effects ot tha coiiflacation of
