Relief
BY an ordinance, gazetted on April 8, 1943, all mortgagors of property in the British Solomon Islands are re lieved from the obligation to pay interest for the period of military occupation (which dates from April 10, 1942), and mortgagees are deprived of the fight of foreclosure. The “period of military occupation” may be terminated, in respect of any particular island or islands, upon a proclamation by the High Commissioner of the Western Pacific.
Similar relief and protection is given the holders of land and mining leases.
