BRITISH CLAIMANTS FOR WAR DAMAGES IN TURKEY PROTEST.
WANT LIEN ON SURPLUS ASSETS IN HANDS OF THE PUBLIC TRUSTEE. (United Press Assn.—By Electrie Telegraph—Copyright.) , (Received August 6, 12.55 p.m.) LONDON, August 5. The Constantinople correspondent of the “ Manchester Guardian ” says that British claimants for war damages in Turkey are finding that the Paris Reparations Commission’s funds enable payment of only 52 b per cent of their assessed claim for £2,000,000. They have telegraphed the Foreign Office urging that they be given a lien on 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 Raparation 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.—United. Service.
