[Page 301 U.S. 324, 337] is to do more than the Soviet government could have done after diplomatic recognition-that is, collect the claims in conformity with those laws. Cf. Todok v. Union State Bank, , 50 S.Ct. 363. As respondent debtor may not challenge the effect of the assignment to the United States, the judgment is rightly reversed. But as the reversal is without prejudice to the rights of any other parties to intervene, they should be left free to assert, by intervention or other appropriate procedure, such claims with respect to the amount due as are in accordance with the laws and policy of New York. There is no occasion to say anything now which can be taken to foreclose the assertion by such claimants of their rights under New York law. Mr. Justice BRANDEIS and Mr. Justice CARDOZO concur in this opinion.
