How much such a charge burdens and will burden the Roumanian budget 
will be seen in the schedule of annex 45. 
2) The allocations for civil and military pensioners, who have elected for 
the Roumanian nationality, whose quantum, Roumania out of a spirit of ge 
nerosity has taken upon herself. In exchange no sum was granted to the Rou 
manian State, tor covering this expense, and the few funds and foundations, 
which might have served for these pensioners are not yet freed by Austria and 
Hungary, who wit hold them without any right. 
The burden of these charge; 1 will not be known exactly, until after the 
coming into effect of the new law for the unification of pensions, but in any 
case we can affirm that it will be a considerable charge for the future budgets. 
We explain that Roumania makes sacrifices tor a staff, which never brought 
any service to the State. 
3) The pensions, and allocations for invalides, orphans and war widows 
in the former kingdom. 
The quantum of these charges appears in the schedule published in annex 45. 
The compensation of private persons having suffered damages by the war 
in the freed territories, which would require a sum of about a milliard and a 
half, which sum ought to have been at the charge of the old Austro-Hungarian, 
Monarchy this is over and beyond the compensations to private persons having 
suffered damages by the war throughout the former territory, which damages 
were proved legally by the special commissions, and whom Roumania, up to the 
present has been unable to compensate, as the reparations due to her, I,ave not 
yet been paid. 
For those having suffered damages in the ancient kingdom, Roumania could 
not even afford help within the limits of her budget. 
5) The Hungarian and Austrian war loan bonds, which under the Trea 
ties are not redeemable. In tact according to article 205 of the Treaty with 
Austria and 188 of the Treaty with Hungary, the Roumanian dependents who 
were underwriters of these bonds about 3 milliard kronen have no call to these 
compensations. 
Roumania could pay nothing for these bonds, although from a moral and 
in'ernational solidarity point of view, she ought to have been placed in the 
possibility of repairing the damages suffered by these citizens, who very often 
did not underwrite of their own free will such loans which were destined to as 
sist their oppressors.
