THE EX-KAISER.

ALLIES' NEXT MOVE.

THREATS NOT TO BE USED. ftr Tdempk.—Press Assn.—Copyright, Received Jan. 29, 3 p.m. London, Jan. 24. The Allies do not intend placidly to accept Holland's refusal, which synchronises with the announcement of a Ger-Jnan-Dntch trade agreement, by which, jn return for a loan of £17,000,000, Holland receives valuable coal concessions on long-dated contracts for the purchase of produce. Although the Allies in no circumstances will use threats or unfriendly pressure with Holland, they will emphasise tteir arguments before taking the last SFWoft of trying the ex-Kaiser in his absence. An appeal to the League of Nations is suggested. French opinion is resentful. The Petit Journal sarcastically refers to the coin*jcMence of the trade agreement, and says fr if tmrjr singular to see the Dutch GovStHMunt welcoming and protecting a {bloodthirsty madman who violated every jrule ol the Hague Convention.

\ The Allies considered placing the exJtaiser at the head of the list presented Kthe German Government. This would possible if Holland argued that extradition treaties only authorised the removal of criminals to their country of Origin, hut the Dutch Note evades that issue, and merely invokes the right of ynmdlng an asylum. •, lis Echo de Paris suggests that the Allies should request Holland to undertake the permanent internment of the er-Ksietr and the ex-Crown Prince. Other .fewasls advocate the use of economic !u*»snue against Holland,—Aus.-N.Z. ! London, Jan. 28. \ The Daily Express says that the Allies' next move will be to request Hol9nd to state whether she is prepared to-gntrantec that the Kaiser will be ksßfc in Holland and thus, prevent his return to Germany to attempt to reWore her fortunes,—Aus.-N.Z.
