£2,000,000 WAR DAMAGES
BRITISH CLAIMANTS FACED WITH LOSS CONSTANTINOPLE REPORT (United Service) LONDON, Monday. The “Guardian’s” Constantinople correspondent says British claimants for war damages in Turkey are finding that the Paris Reparations Commission's funds enable payment of only 52 i per cent, of their assessed ciaim for £2,000,000. They have telegraphed to the Foreign Office, urging that they be given a lien on surplus assets in the hands of the Public Trustee, amounting to £10,000,000. which it is understood the Government intends to credit to the Reparation Fund. They base the claim on the Versailles Treaty, by which Germany undertakes to compensate fully for damages to Allied nationals in the countries of her Allies.
