Hungarian Nationalization Decrees

THE Minister of External Affairs has been informed that under
two Decrees dated 17 February 1952 the Hungarian Govern-
ment has declared its intention of nationalizing property such as
dwellinghouses, apartment houses, villas, flats, business premises,
factory buildings, workshop buildings, warehouses, &c. (including
any movables they might contain) from which income is derived
by letting.

Though the time stipulated for the registration of such property
and for the lodging of appeals against nationalization or for making
claims for compensation has already expired, the New Zealand
Government, in association with the Governments of other countries,
has made representations to the Hungarian authorities formally
reserving the rights of all New Zealand citizens and requesting the
payment of prompt and adequate compensation to any whose
property might be affected by these decrees.

Persons who require further information or who wish to lodge
appeals or claims for compensation should write to the Public
Trustee as Custodian of Enemy Property, Box 5024, Wellington.
