It is one of the many spote alurs the 600-mile land fron- tter where wary Iranians are facing Red army troops.

DECISION ON WAR LOANS

Singapore, August 21.

Governments of the Federation of, Malaya and of Singapore have agreed that liability for repayment of loans. raised by the Finance Com- mittee of the Civilian Intern- ment Comp, Singapore, after the "Double Tenth" (October 10, 1043) should be divided between the Federation and the Colony according to the number of internees resident in the two territories ns at 8th December, 1941, with the num- ber of non-resident internees being divided equally.

The

Federation Government considers that for, the purpose of sessing liability, claims should be scaled down according to the following table;

First $200 to be paid in full;

Next $400 73 per cent to ba pald;

Second $400 60 per cent to ba paid;

Over $1,000 according to the Debtor/Creditor scale.

The Federation ในป decided that its share of the Lunds to mect claims should be contributed in accordance with such revalua- tion.

The

Singapore Government considers that repayment of these loans should be made in full and hus contributed sufficient to dis- charge is share of the obligation in full.

This sum, together with the Federation'a contribution on the scaled-down basis will enable a dividend of 75 per cent to be paid on all claims, and it has therefore been agreed between the, Governments that all receipts for Internment camp Ioans mado after the "Double Tenth" should be honoured up to 75 per cent of their face value.--Reuter.
