CLAIMS FOR WAR DAMAGE
BRITISH NATIONALS IN TURKEY. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. United Service. London, August 5. British claimants for war damages in Turkey are finding that the Paris Reparations Commission’s funds enable payment of only 52-J per cent, of their assessed claim for £2,000,000. They have telegraphed to the Foreign Office urging that they be given a lien on the surplus assets in the hands of the Public Trustee, amounting to £lO,000,000, which it is understood the Government intends to credit to the reparation fund. They base their claim on the Versailles Treaty, by which Germany undertakes to compensate fully damages to Allied nationals in the countries of her allies.
