Tlio work of t-lio Public Trustee in dealing with cx-enemy property in New Zealand and claims of Now Zealanders against ex-enemv nationals lias not reached finality, though it is expected most claims will be adjusted this year. German property rights liquidated in New Zealand amounted to £238,457. Austrian property was valued at £l2lß. There were claims by New Zealanders against Germans totalling £53,034, and by Germans against New Zealanders of £210,975. The Public Trustee adds in his annual report thkit the value of the reparation estates in Samoa,' however, has not yet been settled, and it is the intention of Sir Francis Bell, oxMinister of External Affairs, to propose a' basis for arriving at valuation of these properties to representatives of the German Government, whom he anticipates meeting at the Assembly of the League of Nations at Geneva in September. If his proposal is acceptable to the German Government the assessment of values of the piopoitjwill occupy a. period of several months. It is not anticipated, therefore, that the Now Zealand Government will in the near future he in a position finally to account for the value of cx-euemy property retained in Samoa.
