$22,500,000 was the sum allotted to Palestine to be paid in the next twenty years as its share of the Ottoman National Debt, according to the decision reached by the Allied Debt Commission which concluded its sessions here yesterday.
Other sums apportioned among the territories which formerly belonged to the Ottoman Empire are the following: Mesopotamia, 12,500,000 Turkish pounds; Syria, 15,000,000 Turkish pounds. A period of three months was allowed for the concerned countries to protest against the apportionments.
