World War, 1914-1918
CLAUSE III.--This clause stipulates for the restoration of
treaties and agreements between the contracting parties which were
in force before the war, except for those cases in which the peace
treaty provides otherwise, and in cases where such instruments are
undenouncable for a certain period. This period is prolonged by
the period of the duration of the war.
The contracting parties reserve until after the conclusion of a
general peace the fixing of their attitude toward separate and
collective treaties of a political character.
CLAUSE IV.--This contains prescriptions governing the restoration
of ordinary relations between debtor and creditor. It says,
too, that each contracting party will, immediately after the
ratification of the treaty, resume the payment of its obligations,
particularly the public debt service, to subjects of the other
party.
Restoration and compensation for concessions and privileges in
land and other rights are also dealt with.
CLAUSE V.--This deals with compensation for damage suffered during
or immediately before the outbreak of war by civilian subjects of
the respective parties in life, health, liberties, or property
through acts contrary to international law.
Germans who were in the Rumanian public service before the war,
and who were dismissed as enemy foreigners, shall, on their
request, be restored to equal rank and equal salary, or, if this
is impracticable, they shall be given fair compensation.
CLAUSE VI.--This clause says that the respective prisoners of war
shall be sent home in so far as they, with the assent of the State
concerned, do not desire to remain in its territory or to proceed
to another country. The exchange of prisoners is to follow as soon
as possible, at definite times to be further agreed upon.
The expenditure of each party for prisoners of war belonging to
the other party up to April 1, 1918, will be calculated on the
basis of an average rate of 2,000 marks (£100) for each officer
in Germany, and 1,000 for all other prisoners in Germany, and
2,500 (£100) and 1,250 lei respectively for prisoners in Rumania.
Immediately on the ratification of the treaty a commission
composed of three members of each party is to meet in Bucharest to
arrange details and to supervise the carrying out of the agreement.
Interned civilians will also be gratuitously sent home as soon as
possible, in so far as they do not wish to remain in the country
of their internment or go elsewhere.
CLAUSE VII.--This relates to the right of subjects of the
contracting parties to return to the country of their origin
without suffering prejudice.
