NOTES FROM LONDON.

GERMANY MUST PAY. TO THE LIMIT OF HER CAPACITY. THE KAISER MUST BE PUNISHED. ! By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received Dec. 1, 8.55 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 29. Mr. Lloyd George, in a speech at Newcastle, said: “We gave equal rights to the Germans, who abused our hospitality, plotting and betraying our security, but never again. Persons guilty of such acts merit punishment. Tho losing party must pay; Germany must pay to the limit oi her capacity. Whatever may happen she will not be allowed to pay by dumping, thus wrecking our industries. “Unless someone is held responsible for the war which has taken millions of the best young men of Europe it will mean that there is one justice for the wretched criminal and another for Kings and Emperors. .Whoever plotted the war outraged international law and humanity and aught to be held responsible,” Mr. Lloyd George asked: “What will you do with him?” There were many shouts of “Hang him” and ' Shoot him.” ; Mr. Lloyd George added: We must see by the action taken now, justly, fearlessly and relentlessly, tuat this crime will not be repeated in the history of the world.”—Aus.-N.Z.
