It is incumbent upon that Admin- istration to recover from the other responsible Administrations any share of each of them in the indem- nity paid to the rightful claimant. 2. The reimbursement of the creditor Administration is effected without expense for that Admin- istration by means of either a money order, a check or a draft payable at sight on the capital or a commercial city of the creditor country, or in corn current in that country. When responsibility has been acknowledged as well as in the case contemplated by Article 60, Section 2, the amount of indem- nity may likewise be recovered from the responsible country offi- cially through any account, either directly or through the intermedi- Iary of an Administration which regularly exchanges accounts with the responsible Administration. 3 At the expiration of the period of three months, the sum due to - the Administration of origin bears r interest at the rate of 5 per cent a t year, counting from the date of expiration of the said period. e 3.

An Administration whose re- e sponsibility is duly established a and whih has at first declined to t pay the indemnity must bear all s the additional expenses resulting d. from the unjustified delay in mak-

. ing payment.
