PEACE AND THE KAISER
QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT. Mr. Cr. V. Pearce (Patea) asked the Prime Minister in the House of Representatives yesterday if' he would afford Parliament the opportunity of expressing an opinion as t©. whether the Kaiser^ the greatest criminal, unhung, should b<s brought to justice. Parliament, also, should be permitted to state its views on the question of an jndemnity; other Dominions were adopting such motions. The fate of enemy aliens, proved disloyal, and now interned, should be considered. The men should be sent back to Germany.
The Prime Minister said he did not know whether it would be possible to give Parliament the opportunity of expressing an opinion. He had thought of asking Parliament to pass a-motion with regard to the Pacific.lslands*. They all agreed that the Kaiser should be .punished as a. criminal. In any indemnity, New Zealand 'should have its share. The matter of aliens was now before Cabinet.
