HOLLAND PREMIER
SAYS KAISER CAN
CLAIM SANCTUARY
Dutch Official Asserts Former
German Ruler, Since Abdi-
cation, Cannot Be Turned
Over to Allies Or lnterned.

THE HAGUE, Dec l2,--The former
German emperor Is entitled to the rlEhl
OF sanctuary in Holland, and therefore

manded, according TO II statement made
by Jonkheer Beerenbruck In the lower

would have preferred that the former
emperor had not chosen Holland as a
refuge. but that he came az q private
Individual after renopnClng his throne
without direct or indirect notification
Of hts intended arrival.
After renunciation OF his throne
Jonkheer BeerenbruCk continued, there
could not be question OF interhmen'
nor could the former emperor's return
TO Germany be demanded In view o.
tho immemoriM tradition Of right OF
sanctuary The Netherlands govern
ment could adopt no line Of conduct but
that OF granting the eight OF sanctu-
ary' and accepting II ab fact accom-
piahed,
The government, the premier contin
ued, must repudiate every effort to see
In this step an unneutral attitude.
Nevert heloss, he said, the once emper.
or's stay in Holland was only regarded
AZ temporary Up to tho present no
power had protested against his visit,
but any eventual demand for cXtradi :
ton must pass the test Of law and
treaty, The government, the premier
concluded, would not allow the former
emperor TO exercise any influence IN
another country.

factories and practicing sabotage and
espionage in various forms have been
assembled by the department Of justice

cans with whom they had dealings in
tons war preparations and concerning
Germany'a enemies before this country
entered the war These names have
not been disclosed.
When Mr., Bielaski appears before the
senate committee again tomorrow for
eAamlHhllOH IL 10 possible tnhL some
senators may question him about some
phases Of the bureaus work other than
the fight against enemy propaganda,
Throughout the war 1t has been the
policy Of the department OF justice TO
maintain strict secrecy regarding most
matters relating to investigating agents,
including internments OF enemy aliens,
Attorney-General Gregory said many OF
the war secrets would be made known
at the proper time after the war.
