BRITAIN’S GENEROSITY
PROPERTY OF EX-ENEMIES COMPASSIONATE ALLOWANCES Bri'ish Official WircUsc RUGBY, Saturday. In the cours? of the statement made i in the House of Commons by the | Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr* Philip Snowden, about the liquidation ol ex-enemy property, he said Britain I had been not less, generous te Hie original owners of ex-enemy property than the other creditor couni tries. The common undertaking ; shared by Britain, was only to cease liquidation and release unliquidated i properties. The British Government, however, had not only made compassionate allowances amounting to £5,000,003 |to individuals, but had offered to waive claims to properties as yet unliquidated worth £5,000,900. More could not be done in justice to the British taxpayer, and this was equivalent to the abandonment, as far ag i possible, of the relevant provision cf , the treaty. =■' ■■ ■
