There shall be credited to the Government of Austria, against the sums due from it to the Allied and Associated Powers for reparation, the value, as assessed by the Reparation Commission, of such of the above material for which, as having nonmilitary value, credit should, in the judgment of the Reparation Commission, be allowed to the Government of Austria.
