PRE-WAR CONTRACTS
SHOULD BE SETTLED BY COMPROMISE.
LONDON, 14th February.
Lord Buckmaster's Committee on Prewar Contracts in the United Kingdom and Allied and Neutral Countries, which had been impeded by the war, reports that the best possible solution is by an extension of the spirit of compromise-, which has already solved many difficulties. The committee does not favour cancellation by legislation or . compensation, except where the loss involved has been due directly to Government interference, nor does it recommend further legislative interference in the absence of more convincing evidence than the witnesses submitted that the existing law has been tried and failed. ■
