To this intent Roumania is cooperating with the other succeeding States of
the former Monarchy and appealing to the assistance of the allies hoping to
receive satisfaction for her interests. We hope that when the work interrupted
in Rome will he taken up again, Austria and Hungary will understand, when
they see the solidarity of the succeeding States that their opposing the division
of the immoveable property belonging to the communities and the collectivities
is unfounded.
We may add that before settling the question of these institutions, foun
dations and collectivities no final decision can betaken for dividing the Austrian
and Hungarian public debt, as in the patrimonium of these institutions, foun
dations and collectivities, besides immoveables and other property there are also
governement bonds which being divided must be incorporated in the Rouma
nian stock. One of the reasons for which the Con ference of Prague which should
have met on July 24 lh 1924 for matters referring to the Austro-Ungarian pu
blic debt, was put of was precisely the necessity of a prior settlement of the
division of institution, foundation and collectivity property. It is to be hoped
that until November 3 rd , date fixed for the Conference of Prague the matter
will be arranged.
SECTION V
The right of Roumania to the rolling stock in proportion to the railway
LINES IN THE NEW TERRITORIES
The treaties of Peace of Saint Germain and Trianon contain two kinds of
clauses regarding rolling stock which formed the Austrian and Hungarian stocks
some of these clauses provide the distribution of this stock and the means ot car
rying it out, between the newly created States, or those which have acquired ter
ritory by the dismemberment of the former monarchy. The others provide the
estimation by the Commission of Reparation of the rolling stock which has been
divided audits inscription on the reparation account to the Credit of the grantor
State and the debit of the grantee State of the value of the material granted
to each.
The plan of the distribution of the rolling stock worked out by the Com
mission of Reparations (art. 318 Saint-Germain 301 I rianon) was ratified by
the Conference of Ambassadors by their decision No. 132 of Inly 2 l ’ d 1924.
According to this p an Roumania received as stock to be distributed 29 en
gines 104 passenger carriages, post and luggage vans 1200 goods trucks, out of
the Austrian stock; and 619 engines 1037 passengers carriages post and luggage
vans and 5000 goods trucks out of the Hungarian stock. By this distribution
however, all the matters reffering to this rolling stock are not yet settled as pro
vided in the treaties, for the following questions still await a solution.
Ayl The agreement to be made under the treaties with the Austrian and
Hungarian administrations for repairing in their workshops, the carriages
transferred which needed reparation.
