ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
"618." —There uvo steps leading down to the station, platform from tho ovor- ' .bridge. "Cyclops.'"—Your questions regarding the position of Home Service men are answered iu. another column. "Station. Hand."—'What will be done with the Germans interned iu A'ew Zealand and in other parts of tho British Empire will depend on the terms of tho '-' peace concluded at Hie end of the war. But unless there is some specific provision to tho contrary, the Government will 'havo no power to hold the nieu • after tho declaration of peace, or to restrict their freedom in any way. Nor ' could any domestic legislation such as . might be- passed by the Parliament give to tlie Government any fiicli power. The question is an international one, io be dealt with only by the Imperial Government. As to "their former privileges as citizens, voters, etc.," tho position is that tho bulk of the Germans interned in this country are men who have never been -naturalised, and who,therefore have never had tho right io vote as British citizens. Probably those naturalised Germans who have been interned will'forfeit their acquir\cd rights as British citizens.
