Subjection of the Nation to German Tyranny Under a
Supplementary Economic Treaty
CURRENT HISTORY MAGAZINE for June contained the text of the main
treaty imposed on Rumania by Germany, known as the Peace of Bucharest.
On May 10 it was announced that a "legal and political supplementary
agreement" had been exacted, which completed the economic subjection of
the country. The main clauses of this treaty follow:
CLAUSE I.--This provides for the resumption of Consular relations
and the admission of Consuls. The treaty demands that a further
Consular treaty shall be concluded as soon as possible, and
stipulates for the indemnification of all damage suffered during
the war by Consular officials or done to Consular buildings.
CLAUSE II.--This clause says that Rumania renounces
indemnifications and damages caused on Rumanian territory as the
result of German military measures, including all requisitions and
contributions. Amounts which Germany has already paid for damages
of the nature just described will be refunded by Rumania in so far
as these have not been refunded from the country's means, or paid
in the newly issued notes of the Banca Generale of Rumania, (note
issue department.)
