THE BELGIAN INDEMNITY.
The Bill dealing with reparation for damage sustained in the war, introduced by the Belgian Government, limits the application of the Bill in question to Belgians, and to material damage, excluding moral damage. The amount of indemnity is calculated on the value of the property destroyed, as from the beginning of the war, or from the time of its acquisition during the war. The question is being considered, first, of compensation for damages resulting from loss of life, wounds, and illness, as well as deprivation of liberty for political offences; seconly, of a Bill for indenmilication for loss of revenues and the suspension of work; and, thirdly, of legislation dealing with the assistance which the State may give to employers and workmen with a view to enabling a resumption of work to bo made.
