accountable manner cannot be done, but simply a comparative account on the 
basis of legal parity.

counsel of Ministers, as well as in the two memoirs (on the reparations and the 
interallied debts intends to proceed to settle these debts, taking into account the 
special circumstances in which they were contracted, of their quality of poli 
tical war debts, and of the conditions in which Roumania carried on the war, 
by the prolongation of her war, and by the fact that the supplies she made 
after the general armistice, were a direct consequence of her speculation by the 
enemy ; at the same time Roumania intends to settle the question of her in 
terallied debts, with the question of the reparations as she showed in this report. 
Her possibilities for paying is the principal criterium which must rule 
the liquidation of these debts. To take no notice of this possibility would mean 
to put aside from the beginning the possibility of fulfilling the arrangements 
which might be agreed upon for settling these interallied debts. 
The Roumanian State intends to proceed to settle all its interallied debts. 
Only by joining all these debts together can they be settled in a lasting manner, 
seeing that the arrangements made in respect of some of them might influence 
the payment of others.
