THE EX-KAISER.
LONDON, Nov. G. Regarding the non-fulfilment of his promise to Oring the ex-Kaiser* to justice, Mr Lloyd George replied to a correspondent explaining that twice the Allies have notified the Netherlands Government, demanding the extradition of Wilhelm, emphasising the most pressing need of compliance from both national and international viewpoints. The Netherlands have twice refused, insisting on tlie right and duty to give Wilhelm an asylum. Consequently the exKaiser’s surrender was not securable through diplomacy. The Premier stated that when the promise was given it was not contemplated that they should go to tlw*-extremity of war with Holland. The responsibility now rested with the Netherlands Government to maintain a permanent safe custody of the exKaiser. and no greater or more enduring punishment could be imposed than the Allies’ action had secured.
