Applications for these have already been received from hundreds of towee and the requests run the entire range.

Additional statements of claims are daily being received by the Enemy Debts Committee here. The Enemy Debts Committee is pre- paring five different lists of claims by and against Canadians. First, is the list of claims arising out of illegal methods of warfare; secondly, claims by Canadians for debts owed by cor- porations and persons of enemy na- tionality, and by Canadian holders of shares in companies in enemy coun- tries; third, clahms by Canadian hold- ers of Russian securities and owners of property in Russia and by Cana- dians having accounts against Rus- sians; fourth, claims for damages arising out of the allies' black list of ' persons and firms with whom trade was prohibited, and fifth, claims by persons and firms in enemy countries against Canadians and by enemy alien holders of shares in Canadian cor- porations.
