No. 413. With reference to Government Notification No. 346, published in the Gazette of the 19th August, 1921, the following Order of His Majesty in Council is pub- lished for general information.
AT THE COURT AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE,
THE 10TH DAY OF AUGUST, 1921.
PRESENT,
THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS by the Termination of the Present War (Definition) Act, 198, at is
provided that His Majesty in Council may declare what date is to be treated as the date of the termination of the present war, and that the date so declared shall be as nearly as may be the date of the exchange or deposit of ratifications of the treaty or treaties of peace, and that His Majesty may also similarly declare what date is to be treated as the date of the termination of war between His Majesty and any particular State:
And whereas at Trianon on the fourth day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty, a treaty of peace between the Allied and Associated Powers and Hungary' was signed on behalf of His Majesty :
And whereas by the said treaty of peace it was provided that a procès-verbal of the deposit of ratifications should be drawn up as soon as the treaty had been ratified by Hungary on the one hand and by three of the principal Allied or Associated Powers on the other, and that from the date of the said procès-verbal the treaty would come into force between the high contracting parties who had ratified it :
And whereas the said treaty having been ratified by Hungary and three of the principal Allied and Associated Powers, including His Majesty, such a procès-verbal as aforesaid has been drawn up dated the twenty-sixth day of July, nineteen hundred and twenty-one :
And whereas His Majesty, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, has this day been pleased to order that the thirty-first day of August, nineteen hundred and twenty-one, shall be treated as the date of the termination of the present war, but it is desirable to declare as the date which is to be treated as the date of the termination of the war with Hungary a date before that which is to be treated as the date of the termination of the present war:
Now, therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the said twenty-sixth day of July shall be treated as the date of the termination of war between His Majesty and Hungary.
ALMERIC FITZROY.
