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 ex-Kaiscr, and 110 greater or more enduring punishment could be imposed than the Allies' action had i«curtd Smles.
