INTERNING GERMANS
MORE DRASTIC TREATMENT URGED. There was a good deal said at yesterday's meeting of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce/ as to the treatment that be meted out to Germans or pro-Germans, who make remarks the reverse of patriotic. It was admitted that many had been interned
who had been known to make remarks ■ of a seditious character, but one speaker thought it was time that all such people were interned. The chairman (Mr. Leigh Hunt) was not so sure that internment was the, best treatment, and urged that it might be better to hue them substantially, rather than that the should keep them in idleness. Mr. W. Smith: "They should'be made to work to keep themselves." Another speakey mentioned that 30,000 pro-Germans had been interned in Australia, and were fed better than many of our own people. Mr. Robert Hall said that many incidents had occurred which were not reported, simply because people did not like to make a fuss.
