! 32 tain ourselves on this ground, when. Roumania’s quota was fixed at 1 °/ 0 , and when in Paris at the ministers of Finance Conference of January 14 1925 our quota was fixed at 1.10 °/ 0 (Annex 6, art. 7) The question of the German reparation till the London Conference of July August 1924, was as follows. On May 1 st 1921 the Commission of Reparations fixed the quantum of the German debt for reparations at 132 milliards of marks gold, payable in 30 years, a quantum which under the terms of the Treaty, should be divided between the allied States having a right to reparations, »according to equity and the rights of each« As we proved higher up the Governments of Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and Portugal, ever since July 16 1920, by the Spa agreement, had fixed amongst themselves, and for the others, without their participation, the quotas of distribution, reserving ulteriorly tor Roumania 1 °/ 0 that is by this, distribution, out of the total of the German reparations of 132 milliards of marks gold, Roumania would have got in a lapse of 30 years 1 milliard 320 million marks gold. The fixing of Germany's debt at 132 milliards of marks gold, was done by the Commission ot reparations, taking into consideration her possibilities of pay ing, and not the total damages to which her obligation for reparations amount ed. Rightly or wrongly, this debt once determined should have been divided between the allies in proportion of the losses and the rights of each, that is after the schedule of losses suffered by each, and in respect of which Roumania for warded a list amounting to 31.099.853.761 lei gold, a list which was not con tested by the Commission of Reparations. (*) Roumania protested continually against this injustice and the endeavours she made to right it are to be seen in the speech delivered by Mr Titulescu, Minister ofFinance in the Bucarest Chamber of Deputies on July 18 1921. (Annex 50). The balance of Reparations as regards Roumania offer the Spaagrement can be summed up as follows.
