New Zealand Clearing Office Announcement.—Property, Rights, and Interests in Germany of British Nationals.

THE Controller of the New Zealand Clearing Office announces that the 15th December, 1921, is the latest date on which claims can be submitted through the New Zealand Clearing Office by British nationals residing in New Zealand for the proceeds of liquidation of property in Germany, or for compensation, under Articles 297 and 300 (b) of the Treaty of Versailles, in respect of damage inflicted upon their property, rights, and interests in Germany by the application of exceptional war measures, measures of transfer, or measures of execution.

Up to that date the Controller will be prepared to receive from British nationals residing in New Zealand claims for compensation, and to present them to the German authorities for the purpose of effecting agreements for submission to a formal judgment of the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal in order, as far as possible, to obviate the delay and expense of legal proceedings.

If any claimants desire to avail themselves of these facilities, immediate application should be made to the Controller of the New Zealand Clearing Office, Public Trust Office, Wellington, for the special form (P.R.I.) devised for the purpose, in order that the claims may be lodged by the required date.

It is further announced that it will be necessary for claimants who have not thus submitted their claims to this office by the 15th December, 1921, to prosecute their own cases before the Anglo-German Mixed Arbitral Tribunal in accordance with the rules of procedure of the tribunal, a copy of which is published in the New Zealand Gazette Extraordinary No. 13, dated 10th February, 1921.

J. W. MACDONALD, Public Trustee,
As Controller, New Zealand Clearing Office.
