The allied and associated govern

the responsibility of Austria and her
allies for causing loss and damage to
which the allied and associated gov
ernments and their nationals have been
subjected to as a consequence of the
war imposed upon them by the aggres-
sion of Austria and her allies.
While recognizing that Austria's re-
sources will not be adequate to make
complete PREPARATION, the allied and
associated governments request, and
Austria undertakes, that she will make
compensation for damage done to civ
lllans and their property, in accord
ance with categories of damages SIM
liar to those provided in the treaty
with Germany.
The amount of damage is to be de-
