PUNISHMENT OF EX-KAISER.

QUESTION OF INDEMNITY. PREMIER'S REPLY TO QUESTIONS, By Telegraph.—Special Correspondent. Wellington, La3t Night. "Will members be given an opportunity to express an opinion as to whether the Kaiser, the greatest criminal unhung, should be brought to justice?" asked Mr. i'carce (Pntea) in the House. Mr. l'eurce added that he wished to see Parliament strengthen the hands of the peace delegates by expressing an opinion on this subjet, also with reference to the indemnity. He considered enemy aliens now interned in New Zealand shotild be sent back to Germany. Mr. Massey said he did not know if it would be possible to get a resolution on the subjects, since time was short,. He thought of asking Parliament to agree to a resolution with reference to the Pacific islands. All were agreed that the Kaiser should be punished. The man was a criminal, A member: Hang him! Mr. Wilford: Hand him over to the mothers of the men who have been killed! ■ Mr. Massey added that if an indemnity was obtainable, he presumed New Zealand would get a share. The indemnity was a question for the War Cabinet. He would probably make a statement regarding the internees before the end of the session. That matter was before\ Cabinet now.
