1. Revised draft of paragraph 1 of the Treaty article (as suggested to
Mr. Trickett in Mr. C. Warner’s letter of the 25th June, 1932) :—
Each of the High Contracting Parties, recognising the exceptional
circumstances obtaining during the world war, agrees not to pursue against
the other claims, other than those in respect of contractual obligations, which
were directly due to those circumstances and which arose out of acts done or
events taking place between the dates of the 4th August, 1914, and the
22nd February, 1921.”
2. Revised draft of paragraph 2 of article 5 of the Annex (as suggested to
Mr. Trickett in Mr. Baxter’s letter of the 29th July, 1932) :—
All sums of money awarded by the tribunal on account of any claim
shall be paid to the Government of the High Contracting Party by whom
the claim is made on a date to be agreed upon by the High Contracting
parties, or in default of any such agreement on the day which follows the
expiry of twelve months from the date of the conclusion of the final session of
the tribunal. If sums are payable under the awards of the tribunal by the
Governments of both High Contracting Parties, the said payments shall be
made by both Governments on the same date and at the same time.”
3. Tentative draft of an additional paragraph to the Treaty article (as
suggested to Mr. Laithwaite in Mr. Warner’s letter of the 20th January, 1933):
“ Each of the High Contracting Parties agrees not to pursue against
the other any claim arising out of events taking place before the 1st January
1928, and not formallyf 1 ) presented to the Government of the other High
Contracting Party before that date.”
This suggested addition has not, however, received the final approval of the
other Departments concerned. On the assumption that it is eventually approved,
the most up-to-date text of the treaty article and annex would read as follows
