Persons who apply for the allocation to them of such property must establish to the satisfaction of the Spanish Administration that they are not acting in representation of, nor under a mandate for, nor in relation with, persons whose property has been expropriated or other persons affected by this Accord, in any manner whereby indirectly an economic potential capable of endangering peace might be recon- stituted. Measures shall be adopted to insure that any infraction of this condition shall entail the nullification of the act of allocation and the forfeiture of all sums paid therefor. The Representatives may obtain and furnish pertinent information for the purposes mentioned.
