PART VIII.
FINANCIAL CLAUSES.
Article 231.
Turkey recognises that by joining in the war of aggression which Germany and
Austria>Hungary waged against the Allied Powers she has caused to the latter losses and
sacrifices of all kinds for which she ought to make complete reparation.
On the other hand, the Allied Powers recognise that the resources of Turkey are not
sufficient to enable her to make complete reparation.
In these circumstances, and inasmuch as the territorial rearrangements resulting Irom
the present Treaty will leave to Turkey only a portion of the revenues of the former
Turkish Empire, all claims against the Turkish Government for reparation are waived by
the Allied Powers, subject only to the provisions of this Part and of Part IX (Economic
Clauses) of the present Treaty.

agree with the Turkish Government that a Financial Commission shall be appointed con

mission.

cial laws and regulations of Turkey. This supervision shall be exercised through the

necessary for the fulfilment of its task, and to take such action against unsuitable officials
