61 STAT.] MULTILATERAL-PEACE WITH ROUMIANIA-FEB. 10 , 1947 2. All unused Roumanian currency and all Roumanian goods in possession of the Allied forces in Roumania, acquired pursuant to Article 10 of the Armistice Agreement, shall be returned to the Roumanian Gov- ernment within the same period of 90 days. 3. Roumania shall, however, make available such maintenance and facilities as may specifically be required for the maintenance of the lines of communication with the Soviet zone of occupation in Austria, for which due compensation will be made to the Roumanian Government. PART V REPARATION AND RESTITUTION Article 22 1. Losses caused to the Soviet Union by military operations and by the occupation by Roumania of Soviet territory shall be made good by Roumania to the Soviet Union, but, taking into consideration that Roumania has not only withdrawn from the war against the United Nations, but has declared and, in fact, waged war against Germany, it is agreed that com- pensation for the above losses will be made by Roumania not in full but only in part, namely in the amount of $300,000,000 payable over eight years from September 12, 1944, in commodities (oil products, grain, tim- ber, seagoing and river craft, sundry machinery and other commodities). 2. The basis of calculation for the settlement provided in this Article will be the United States dollar at its gold parity on the day of the signing of the Armistice Agreement, i.e. $35 for one ounce of gold. Article 23 1. Roumania accepts the principles of the United Nations Declaration of January 5, 1943, and shall return property removed from the territory of any of the United Nations. 2. The obligation to make restitution applies to all identifiable property at present in Roumania which was removed by force or duress 1807
