In the United States ,
the broad principle has been assumed "
that war gives to the sovereign full right to take the persons and confiscate the property of the enemy ,
wherever found .
The mitigations of this rigid rule ,
which the policy of modern times has introduced into practice ,
will more or less affect the exercise of this right ,
but cannot impair the right itself ."

Commercial nations have always considerable property in the possession of their neighbors :
and when war breaks out the question ,
what shall be done with enemies property found in the country ,
is one rather of policy than of law ,
and is properly addressed to the consideration of the legislature ,
and not to courts of law .
The strict right of confiscation exists in congress ;
and without a legislative act authorizing the confiscation of enemies '
property ,
it cannot be condemned .

The claim of a right to confiscate debts ,
contracted by individuals in time of peace ,
and which remain due to subjects of the enemy in time of war ,
rests very much upon the same principles as that concerning the enemy '
s tangible property ,
found in the country at the commencement of the war .
But it is the universal practice to forbear to seize and confiscate debts and credits .
