More • than One-fourth of the one million claims presently on file at German indemnification- offices demand damages spring- ing from injuries due to em- ployment and . the interruption of careers in business and the professions, and hence will fall under the provisiont of the pro- Posed regulation. - - The Claims Conference ex- plained that the yardstick for the payment of economic dam- ages under the Federal Indem- nification Law, was intended to be the difference between earned income and income which would have accrued in the absence of Nazi persecution. The impleibenting regulatioh, however, .fixes the standards for • • income which would have ac- crued, at levels so low that many thousands of Nazi victim's who suffered economic losses will be stripped completely of all benefits, or the cOmpensa- tion they will receive. will be grossly 'disproportionate to the losses sustained.
