THE EX-KAISER.
IN PERMANENT CUSTODY. JBr Cable—Press Association—Copyright.) (Australian ar_d Iv.Z. Cablo Association.) LONDON, November 5. Regarding the non-fulfilment of the promise to bring the ex-Kaiser to justice, Mr Lloyd George has replied to a correspondent explaining that twice the Allies notified the Netherlands Government demanding the extradition of Wilhelm, and emphasising tho most pressing need of compliance from bot'h national and international viewpoints. The Netherlands had twice refused, insisting on its right and duty to give Wilhelm asylum. Consequently tho exlvaiser's surrender could not be secured through diplomacy. Tho Prime Minister stated that when tho promise was given it was not contemplated tihat they should go to the extremity of war with Holland. The responsibility now rested with the Netherlands Government to maintain the_ permanent safe custody of the exKaiser, and no greater or more enduring punishment could be imposed than the Allies' action had secured.
