Malaya
IT has been formally announced by the British Information Service that a War Damage Claims Commission has commenced inquiries in Malaya. It will deal with claims for damage to fixed property or loss of goods arising from the war. Anyone in the South Pacific who is interested should make formal appli cation to the agent of the Malayan Gov ernment at 61 Hunter Street, Sydney.
The fact that this Commission has commenced inquiries in the Far East is of interest to property owners in the British Solomon Islands and Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony who suffered losses through the war. Claims Commissions are to be set up in the Solomon Islands and in the Gilbert and Ellice Colony to consider all applications for compensa tion; and the report of these Commissions will be considered at the same time as the reports from the Commissions which are now making inquiries in Malaya and other British Territories in the Far East.
