grantee States, either for being put entirely to the charge of Austria and Hun
gary, or for being divided between all the allied and associated States in propor
tion to their participation in the quantum of the value of the rolling Stock,
which shall be established by the Commission ot reparations (art. 183 a 189
St.-Germain and 167 & 173 I rianon). But at the estimation, the commission of
reparations must take into consideration the recommunication on the part of
the Hungarian administration of a number of carriages of Hungarian origin
which are to be divided, a fact which was pointed out in Dec. 1924 to the Com
mission of reparations by the Roumanian and Tcheco Slovak experts. In fact
the Hungarian expert himself in this commission acknowlegded and proved that a
great numbe • of the newest carriages found amongst the Hungarian stock at the
inspection ol Sep. 1920, on the Hungarian lines were not communicated to the
commission of Distribution. These carriages ar to this day in the possesion of
Hungary instead of being attributed according to the plan of distribution esta
blished by the Vienna Commission and ratified by the conference of the am
bassadors. 1 ho Hungarian Administration therefore must be obliged to commu
nicate those carriages \\ hose number deducted out of the number of carriages
found missing in these two inventories (24°/ 0 of the Hungarian and 7°/ 0 of the
Austrians) amounts to 15.000 carriages Part of these carriages are not put in
the mass to be divided by the Vienna Commission, because they form part of the
carriages presented by Italy, Roumania, Yougoslavia and belonging to them by
the operations of the war.
While the carriages in this list which were on the lines of the Allied States
or on the Austrian lines were communicated in due t : me by these States and the
Vienna Commission was able to communicate them to the Commission of Re
parations as being the property of these three States their exclusion from the mass
of carriages to be distributed and not communicated by Hungary is void. These
carriages have to be restored to Italy, Roumania and Yougoslavia the
rest of the carriages which were not communicated by Hungary will have to
be distributed to the so called succeeding States, according to the provisions of
the treaty. As regards the question of the estimation, the Roumanian Government
lias explained its point of view in the answers it sent to the form of question
sent by the Committee of transferred goods. It is convinced that its ans
wers will prove the efforts it has made to keep this matter within the strict
scope of the real,value of the carriages distributed; notwithstanding the Rouma
nian Government will not fail to give proper instructions to its experts, to set
forth its point of view in this matter, which is to be examined by the committee
of transferred goods in October.
CHAPTER IV
ROUMANIA’s OBLIGATIONS DERIVE FROM THE TREATIS OF PEACE
After we have summarily analized the rights of Roumania, we will go on
to examine in this chapter the clauses of the Treaties of peace, which are
changed into obligations for the Roumanian State, and the close relations
