World War, 1914-1918
Germany renounces in favor of China all privileges and indemnities
resulting from the Boxer Protocol of 1901, and all buildings, wharves,
barracks for munitions of warships, wireless plants, and other public
property except diplomatic or consular establishments in the German
concessions of Tientsin and Hankow and in other Chinese territory except
Kiao-Chau and agrees to return to China at her own expense all the
astronomical instruments seized in 1900 and 1901. China will, however,
take no measures for disposal of German property in the legation quarter
at Peking without the consent of the Powers signatory to the Boxer
Protocol.
[Sidenote: Abrogation of concession.]
Germany accepts the abrogation of the concessions at Hankow and
Tientsin, China agreeing to open them to international use. Germany
renounces all claims against China or any allied and associated
Government for the internment or repatriation of her citizens in China
and for the seizure or liquidation of German interests there since
August 14, 1917. She renounces in favor of Great Britain her State
property in the British concession at Canton and of France and China
jointly of the property of the German school in the French concession at
Shanghai.
SIAM
[Sidenote: Rights of extra territoriality to cease.]
Germany recognizes that all agreements between herself and Siam,
including the right of extra-territoriality, ceased July 22, 1917. All
German public property, except consular and diplomatic premises, passes
without compensation to Siam, German private property to be dealt with
in accordance with the economic clauses. Germany waives all claims
against Siam for the seizure and condemnation of her ships, liquidation
of her property, or internment of her nationals.
LIBERIA
[Sidenote: Commercial treaties and agreements to be abrogated.]
Germany renounces all rights under the international arrangements of
1911 and 1912 regarding Liberia, more particularly the right to nominate
a receiver of the customs, and disinterests herself in any further
negotiations for the rehabilitation of Liberia. She regards as abrogated
all commercial treaties and agreements between herself and Liberia and
recognizes Liberia's right to determine the status and condition of the
re-establishment of Germans in Liberia.
MOROCCO
[Sidenote: Germany to renounce rights in Morocco.]
