On the other hand the Russian betrayal, and the bolchevik danger at our Eastern frontier, obliges the Roumanian State to continue the war on the Dniester and to maintain its armed forces mobilized, till the Spring of 1920. Therefore by her special situation Roumania had to suffer losses, both by the destructions caused by the existence of the battle front on her own terri tory, as by losses of men, (dead and invalides) till the end of 1919. Once Roumania s war ended, her ruins should have been restored, useful works should have been taken up again, the aggressors should contribute in re building the ruins they caused, and in restoring the countries thev destroyed CHAPTHER II Roumania s rights to reparations according to the treaties of peace, THE CONVENTIONS AND THE AGREEMENTS CONCLUDED President Wilson’s speech on January 8 th 1918 mentions the obligation, of reconstructing the ruined regions of Roumania, Servia and Montenegro while the armistice Convention of 1918 stipulates in article XV the obliga tion of returning all documents, valuable property (moveable and fiduciary), as well as the return of the Roumanian gold taken by Germany, or given up to her or her allies (Annex 26). The armistice concluded on Novembre 11 th 1918, for a delay of 36 days is extended from December 13'" 1918, till January 17 th 1919 with a right of extension from month to month, till the conclusion of the preliminaries of Peace. The charge of providing clear and precise conditions for the reparation of damages was reserved for the treaties The starting point was, to leave on one side any kind of reparation in respect of the so called war expenses proper, allowing the reparations only for the following class of damages to wit : a) Damages suffered by property ; b) Damages suffered by persons, in which are included also allowances for invalides, orphans and war widows ; c) For damage arising from special claims, such as were, for Roumania the recuperation of deliveries in virtue of the Treaty of Bnearest, and of the notes of the -Banca Generala«. (Article 259.6). It is useless to discuss the conditions in which the treaties were drawn up, for once they are signed and ratified, we must comply with them. We have however the right and the duty to watch, for them to be equally applied for every body, and in the spirit they were made in. From the beginning we must point out that they were drawn up at a moment of great illusions, when it was thought that they would be carried out to the letter by all the conquered and conquerors.
