Treasury which loses nothing for the unpaid share of the credits and interest i.e. an amount of £5,640,000 + £1,200,000 = £6,640,000 would really receive from Greece 66.73% and sacrifice only 33.27% on the whole amount which it had undertaken to credit Greece, if of course interest is not counted from now onwards, as is the case with Italy.
It should be noted, moreover, that the dictatorial government, in its desire for a rapid conclusion of a supplementary refugee loan, and aware of the fact that the conclusion thereof was impossible without the previous settlement of the war debt of Greece, hastened to offer to His Britannic Majesty's Government, by Monsieur Caclamanos' note dated 19th August 1926 the following amounts for the repayment of the said debt:
for the 1st year £150,000
for the 3 following years £150,000 annually or £450,000
for the 5th year £200,000
for the following 5 years, £150,000 annually or £1,250,000
The note adds: further scales for the remaining 52 years may be arranged in the

…kredilerin ödenmemiş kısmı ile faiz için, yani £5,640,000 + £1,200,000 = £6,640,000 tutarındaki bir meblağ için hiçbir kayba uğramayan Hazine, Yunanistan'a kredi olarak açmayı taahhüt ettiği toplam meblağın gerçekte %66.73'ünü Yunanistan'dan tahsil etmiş olacak ve yalnızca %33.27'sinden fedakârlık etmiş olacaktır; tabii İtalya örneğinde olduğu gibi bundan sonrası için faiz hesaplanmaması şartıyla.
Ayrıca belirtmek gerekir ki diktatörlük hükûmeti, tamamlayıcı bir mülteci istikrazının süratle akdedilmesini arzu ediyordu. Bunun, Yunanistan'ın harp borcu önceden tasfiye edilmeksizin imkânsız olduğunu da biliyordu. Bu sebeple Mösyö Caclamanos'un 19 Ağustos 1926 tarihli notasıyla Britanya Kralı Hazretleri Hükûmetine, söz konusu borcun geri ödenmesi için aşağıdaki meblağları teklif etmekte acele etmiştir:
1. yıl için £150,000
müteakip 3 yıl için yılda £150,000, yani £450,000
5. yıl için £200,000
müteakip 5 yıl için yılda £150,000, yani £1,250,000
Nota şunu eklemektedir: geri kalan 52 yıl için diğer ödeme kademeleri,
