173 respect of the value of war material, in case the war resulted disastrously for its finances, as has been unfortunately the case. The only associate in the Great War on whom such an immense historical disaster has befallen, begs to submit that, when the time of liquidation of liabilities comes, the agreements entered into shall be carried through with that exemplary fairness, which has always characterized the acts of the British Government. Greece would feel grateful for that. Thus, if from the table of accounts appended to the Agreement of August 31, 1925, the value of material supplied under 1918 Agreement is deducted, the principal in this account is reduced to £3,897,779 and the interest to £2,870,826, d.e. the whole amount of the debt, as on the 31st of March 1925, is reduced to £11,768,604. If to this sum the interest at 5% accrued as from that date until March 31, 1926 is added, d.e. an amount of £588,430, ( deducting the interest on a sum of £500,000 which has been paid in cash), our debt totals to-day £12,357,034. From this sum, however, the amounts due to Greece in respect of damage done by British troops on Greek territory should be deducted, d.e. an amount of £1,250,000 representing principal and the amount of £588,882 representing interest at 5% ( see letter of Mr. Tsouderos dated the 12th March 1925 and reply thereto of Sir Otto Niemeyer dated the 14th March 1925) up to the same date, namely, a total of £1,838,882. The balance remaining after the deduction of the above sum, d.e. an amount of £10,515,152, should, we think, be considered - 31 -

173 savaşın kendi maliyesi açısından felaketle sonuçlanması hâlinde -ki ne yazık ki durum böyle olmuştur- savaş malzemesinin bedeline ilişkin her türlü yükümlülükten muaf tutulması yönünde olduğu ima edilmektedir. Büyük Savaşta böylesine muazzam bir tarihî felakete uğramış olan yegâne müttefik, borçların tasfiyesi zamanı geldiğinde, akdedilmiş olan anlaşmaların, İngiliz Hükümetinin icraatının her zaman ayırt edici vasfı olmuş olan o örnek hakkaniyetle yerine getirilmesini arz ve rica eder. Yunanistan bundan dolayı minnettar kalacaktır. Buna göre, 31 Ağustos 1925 tarihli Anlaşmaya ekli hesap tablosundan 1918 Anlaşması uyarınca tedarik edilen malzemenin bedeli düşüldüğü takdirde, bu hesaptaki anapara £3,897,779'a ve faiz £2,870,826'ya iner, yani borcun 31 Mart 1925 itibarıyla toplam tutarı £11,768,604'e düşer. Bu meblağa, o tarihten 31 Mart 1926'ya kadar işlemiş %5 faiz, yani £588,430 tutarında bir meblağ eklenirse, (nakden ödenmiş olan £500,000 tutarındaki bir meblağın faizi düşülerek), borcumuz bugün toplam £12,357,034'e ulaşır. Ancak bu meblağdan, İngiliz birliklerinin Yunan topraklarında verdiği zarar nedeniyle Yunanistan'a borçlu olunan tutarların, yani anaparayı temsil eden £1,250,000 tutarındaki bir meblağ ile aynı tarihe kadar %5 üzerinden faizi temsil eden £588,882 tutarının (bkz. Bay Tsouderos'un 12 Mart 1925 tarihli mektubu ve Sir Otto Niemeyer'in buna verdiği 14 Mart 1925 tarihli cevap), yani toplam £1,838,882'nin düşülmesi gerekir. Yukarıdaki meblağın düşülmesinden sonra kalan bakiyenin, yani £10,515,152 tutarındaki bir meblağın, kanaatimizce, Yunanistan'ın net savaş borcu - 31 -
