 62 STAT.] MULTILATERAL-GERMAN PROPERTY IN SPAIN-MAY 10,1948 LETTER NO. 5 MADRID, May 10, 1948 SIR: In the course of the negotiations which have terminated in the Accord signed today, the signatory Allied Governments have repre- sented that in parallel with arrangements concluded with other States in the matter, provision should be made, in accordance with their desire, for the treatment of any property found in Spain, the previous owners of which died during the war, victims of acts of brutality, leaving no known heirs. We understand that if such cases in relation to property in Spain are brought to its notice, the Spanish Govern- ment will use its best efforts with a view to handing the proceeds of such property to the Allied Governments in aid of the work of re- habilitation and resettlement to which, as we confirm our Govern- ments would devote any such receipts. We shall be grateful for your confirmation that such cases may be brought to notice accordingly. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of our distinguished con- sideration.
