ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
SIR,—In the course of a year the Federal German Republic, whose gold and currency reserves have reached the record total of DM 23,926,000,000, has been able to lend the World Bank the equivalent of £90,000,000 in US dollars. Yet hundreds of thousands who survived the horrors of concentration camps and Nazi persecution still await compensation promised them in the Bonn Convention and the Paris Agreement. Perhaps most unfortunate are the few surviving victims of pseudo-medical experiments, the majority of whom are ineligible for any recompense under the Federal Indemnification Law. In numerous cases, as a result of their brutal and unethical treatment, their health has been ruined and. they live in pitiable conditions. Such a little would provide them with so much that they desperately need.—Yours faithfully,
