The measures which the allied and associated powers shall have the right
to take, in case of voluntary default by Germany, and which Germany
agrees not to regard as acts of war, may include economic and financial
prohibitions and reprisals and in general such other measures as the
respective governments may determine to be necessary in the
circumstances.
The commission may require Germany to give from time to time, by way of
guaranty, issues of bonds or other obligations to cover such claims as
are not otherwise satisfied.
The German government recognizes the right of the Allies to the
replacement, ton for ton and class for class, of all merchant ships and
fishing boats lost or damaged owing to the war, and agrees to cede to
the Allies all German merchant ships of sixteen hundred tons gross and
upward.
The German government further agrees to build merchant ships for the
account of the Allies to the amount of not exceeding 200,000 tons' gross
annually during the next five years.
SECTION 8. Devastated Areas--Germany undertakes to devote her
economic resources directly to the physical restoration of the invaded
areas.
Coal--Germany is to deliver annually for ten years to France coal
equivalent to the difference between annual pre-war output of Nord and
Pas de Calais mines and annual production during above ten year period.
Germany further gives options over ten years for delivery of 7,000,000
tons coal per year to France, in addition to the above, of 8,000,000
tons to Belgium, and of an amount rising from 4,500,000 tons in 1919 to
1920 to 8,500,000 tons in 1923 to 1924 to Italy, at prices to be fixed
as prescribed. Coke may be taken in place of coal in ratio of three tons
to four.
Dyestuffs and Drugs--Germany accords option to the commission on
dyestuffs and chemical drugs, including quinine, up to 50 per cent of
total stock to Germany at the time the treaty comes into force, and
similar option during each six months to end of 1924 up to 25 per cent
of previous six months' output.
Cables--Germany renounces all title to specific cables, value of such
as were privately owned being credited to her against reparation
indebtedness.
Restitution--As reparation for the destruction of the library of
Louvain, Germany is to hand over manuscripts, early printed books,
prints, etc., to the equivalent of those destroyed, and all works of art
taken from Belgium and France.
SECTION 9. Finances--Germany is required to pay the total cost of the
armies of occupation from the date of the armistice as long as they are
maintained in German territory.
Germany is to deliver all sums deposited in Germany by Turkey and
Austria-Hungary in connection with the financial support extended by her
to them during the war and to transfer to the Allies all claims against
Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria or Turkey in connection with agreements made
during the war.
