EX-KAISER’S PUNISHMENT.
WORSE THAN DEATH.
ME. LLOYD GEORGE’S VIEW.
LONDON, Nov. 5,
Regarding the non-fulfilment of the i promise to bring the ex-Kaiser to jusj tice, Mr. Lloyd George replied to a Correspondent explaining that twice the Allies bad notified the Netherlands Government demanding the extradition of Wilhelm, emphasising the most pressing need of compliance from both national and international viewpoints. The Netherlands had twice refused, insisting on its right and duty to give Wilhelm asylum. Consequently the exKaiser’s surrender was not sccurable through diplomacy. The Premier stated that when the promise was given it was not contemplated that 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 upon him than the Allies action had secured.
