BY the Associated Press

Paris. April 17.-Thc Belgian dele
CATION TO the Peahc Conference has
informed the correspondent that Bel
gium had not been officially requested
by the council of four to bring the for
mer German emperor to trial. and that
the Belgian government would f"el
obliged to decline to take the step even
il there were any request for such ac-
ton.
The Belgian delegates hold that any
action should be taken by commits
sion representing all the associated pow
crs. The official Belgian view. it was
said. is that the former emperor can
not be arraigned for declaring war or
violating the neutrality of Belgium, or
for any act preceding or coincident with
the declaration Of war.
After pointing out that there IS no
tribunal competent to hear such charges
against the former emperor and no
provision of international law covering
such cases. the delegates said that Bel
gium expects that persons guilty. OF

codes of any Of the bolligercnt powers

the delegation. But Belgium does not
seek revenge. 1t wants only justice.
II would be small satisfaction to lock
up the Kaiser for n few months in the
Saint Gile prison, and those who have
reported that such revenge has been Of
fcrcd Belgium as solace for her wrongs
have sadly misunderstood the Belgian
character if they thought it would be
acceptable.
The only case in which the personal
responsibility OF the ex emperor for
criminal act committed in Belgium could
be established beyond doubt is in the
atrocities attending the deportations of
civilians and compelling them TO do
forced labor in Germany. In this case
his responsibility is unquestioncd.
