These conditions are nothing else

in protecting refugees may carry the
Dutch Government to a refusal to sur
render the Kaiser for trial by interna-
tional judges. The Amsterdam Handels-
bad, which expresses the sentiments Of
the mass of the Dutch people. says:
Holland cannot possibly regard a
tribunal exclusively composed OF the
Kaiser's enemies as impartial, however
high those comprising 1t. We are I'M
able to agree to prosecution for a deed
for which no legal punishment has been
apportoned in advance. while 30 far no

tent of the punishment Is given, but this
Is left entirely to the judges
THE Kaiser's personality would thus
lack the protection which for more than
a century has been considered an in
dispensable requirement of civilized
penal Jurisprudence.
I'VE shall thus have to refuse to give
assent to the eventual request for ex-

in another way. We shall bear It In

Litovsk, the Entente peace must be

that the terms are in sharp contradict

there 10 "a ruthless desire to lay Ger

The financial writers comment exhaus

say will be rendered impossible by the
