172/37 Amnese N° 4 M. VENIZELOS. JOINT OPINION. We have before us the agreement of February 10th 1918 between the Greek Government on the one hand, and the Governments of Great Britain, France and the United States on the other; the further agreement of May 19th 1919 between the Greek Government on the one hand and the Governments of Great Britain and France on the other; and the agreement of December 22nd 1921 between the then Chancellor of the Exchequer on behalf of the Government of Great Britain and M. Gounaris on behalf of the Government of Greece. We understand that, as was contemplated by Article 3 of the Agreement of February 10th 1918, the National Bank of Greece issued its notes to meet expenditure approved by the Inter- Allied Commissions and there can be no question that the effect of the agreements of February 10th 1918 and May 19th 1919 was to cast on the British Treasury the liability of making advances to cover these issues up to a maximum of £12, 000,000 which was its share of the total. By the Greek law of April 4. 1918 the agreement of February 10th 1918 was ratified and the Greek Govern- ment assigned to the National Bank of Greece the Allied Credits. Six months after the conclusion of peace, the National Bank of Greece began to draw on the British Treasury within the prescribed limits according to its needs and by November 1st 1920 the British Treasury had honoured such drafts up to the amount of £6.540.000. It is therefore perfectly clear that the British Govern- ment recognised the National Bank of Greece as the party entitled to draw upon the British Treasury under these arrangements, and that the assignment to the National Bank of Greece was acknowledged and acted on by the British Government. This constitutes in our opinion an agreement between the National Bank of Greece and the British Government involving an obligation on the

172/37 Amnese N° 4 M. VENIZELOS. MÜŞTEREK MÜTALAA. Önümüzde şu belgeler bulunmaktadır: bir tarafta Yunan Hükümeti ile diğer tarafta Büyük Britanya, Fransa ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Hükümetleri arasında akdedilen 10 Şubat 1918 tarihli anlaşma; bir tarafta Yunan Hükümeti ile diğer tarafta Büyük Britanya ve Fransa Hükümetleri arasında akdedilen 19 Mayıs 1919 tarihli ek anlaşma; ve Büyük Britanya Hükümeti adına o zamanki Maliye Bakanı (Chancellor of the Exchequer) ile Yunanistan Hükümeti adına M. Gounaris arasında akdedilen 22 Aralık 1921 tarihli anlaşma. Anladığımız kadarıyla, 10 Şubat 1918 tarihli Anlaşmanın 3. maddesinde öngörüldüğü üzere, Yunanistan Millî Bankası Müttefikler Arası Komisyonlarca onaylanan harcamaları karşılamak üzere banknotlarını ihraç etmiştir. 10 Şubat 1918 ve 19 Mayıs 1919 tarihli anlaşmaların, toplam içindeki payı olan azami £12, 000,000'a kadar bu ihraçları karşılamak üzere avans verme yükümlülüğünü İngiliz Hazinesine yüklediği hususunda hiçbir şüphe olamaz. 4 Nisan 1918 tarihli Yunan kanunu ile 10 Şubat 1918 tarihli anlaşma onaylanmış ve Yunan Hükümeti Müttefik Kredilerini Yunanistan Millî Bankasına devretmiştir. Barışın akdinden altı ay sonra Yunanistan Millî Bankası, belirlenen sınırlar dahilinde ve ihtiyaçlarına göre İngiliz Hazinesi üzerine poliçe keşide etmeye başlamış ve 1 Kasım 1920'ye kadar İngiliz Hazinesi bu poliçeleri £6.540.000 tutarına kadar ödemiştir. Dolayısıyla, İngiliz Hükümetinin bu düzenlemeler uyarınca İngiliz Hazinesi üzerine keşide etmeye yetkili taraf olarak Yunanistan Millî Bankasını tanıdığı ve Yunanistan Millî Bankasına yapılan devrin İngiliz Hükümetince kabul edildiği ve buna göre işlem yapıldığı gayet açıktır. Kanaatimizce bu durum, Yunanistan Millî Bankası ile İngiliz Hükümeti arasında, İngiliz Hükümetine
