EVE OF THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.
OMany Delegates Assembled. DESIGNATION OF ASSEMBLY. (United Prose Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) THE HAGUE, August 5. Delegations for the Reparations Conference poured in all day. Practically everybody has arrived for the Conference, which will be noncommittally known as The Hague Conference, 1929, thus eliminating all reference to reparations and the Rhineland. WAR DAMAGES IN TURKEY. APPEAR TO HOME GOVERNMENT. (United Press Association—By Electria Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, August 5. The “Guardian’s” Constantinople correspondent says that British claimants for war damages in Turkey are finding that the Paris Reparations’ Commissions funds enable payment of only 52* per cent, of their assessed claims for £2,000,000. They have telegraphed the Foreign Office urging that they should be given a lien on the 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 their claim on the Versailles Treaty, by which Germany undertakes to compensate fully the damages to Allied nationals in the countries of her allies.
