of which the respective treaties came into force. As in the previous proclamations
the High Commissioner is given a general power to dispense property from the
operation of the proclamations, and the exemption, at the discretion of Licensing
Officer (Financial Adviser), of diplomatic and consular archives, property of diplo
matic and consular agents, mixed court judges, &c., is also provided for. Meetings
of the Advisory Committee have been held, whenever deemed necessary to deal with
concrete cases. In this way the property of enemy nationals in Egypt as yet
unliquidated has been reduced to small dimensions.
519. The problem of the manner in which claims for compensation under the
peace treaties are to be proved and admitted to rank against the proceeds of liquida
tion is giving rise to considerable difficulties. The main questions under examination
are (ff) as to the extent of the obligation of claimants to submit disputed claims
to a mixed arbitral tribunal ; and (b) as to the extent of the obligation of such
claimants to exhaust their legal remedies in Germany before being entitled to rank
against the Egyptian fund. Another very important question which has been
raised is as to the validity of the Egypt Amending Order in Council (and the
corresponding provisions in the proclamation relating to the property of Germans)
under which Egyptian nationals who have been the object of exceptional war
measures in Germany are admitted to claim against the liquidation fund

non had been held, had made little effort during the summer months to regain the
time they had wasted in political agitation.
