REPARATIONS.
NEW ZEALAND’S SHARE. PAYMENT PROSPECTS POOR. Wellington, August 15. Reparation from Germany was touched on by the Premier in the Financial Statement. He said: —‘"In last year’s Budget I stated that, although a sum of about £26.000.000 had been allocated to this Dominion as our share of German reparation-money, yet it might be a long time before any payment would be made. This fact becomes more apparent as time passes. The inevitable conclusion has been forced upon the various Governments that the reparation question could no longer be satisfactorily dealt with apart from the general economic position of the world, and that international action is necessary for reconstruction in Russia and central Europe. Great Britain has received a certain portion of the cost of her army •of occupation, and of this amount this Dominion has been paid the sum of £567,000 to cover the cost of the New Zealand army of occupation from the armistice to the date of withdrawal of our forces, but this payment is apart from ordinary reparation claims. No other payment has been received by New Zealand.'
