Gre k s and Italians

Dutch Minister Predicts
Long Stay by Ex-Kaiser

'HoIland has always been an asylum
TOR the prosecuted and oppressed" de-
clared j. I. Cremcr, The Netherlands
Minister to this country, yesterday at
the Ritz Carlton Hotel "There is
little doubt in my mind that Empero,
Wilhelm knew he was safe once he
landed there"
M. Cremer was in this city confer
ring with a number of his co-patriots
relative to the reesta blishment of q
Netherlands Chamber of Commerce in
New York.
"Thosc who have been driven from,
other countries have seemingly al
ways picked Holland as a refuge" he
continued: "Why, l don't know. When
Ine Pilgrim Fathers were driven from
hngland 800 years ago-and inciden-
tally Holland celebrates the third CEN
tenary of the landing of the Sulrrieye
Society of Englishmen there next
year-they chose Holland as place
Tor safety. Later they drifted to
America: The rich Jews driven from
rortugal were our next visitors, and
then the French Huguenots. Now we
have the Kaiser.
II think the Kaiser will remain there
Tor some time to come | don't know
what the Allies will ask Holland tc
do' but I do know though that the
peace treaty hasn't been ratified.
1T is my belief that Emperor Will
helm Will remain in Holland until
after the peace treaty is ratified. And
then it will be question what the
Allies demand. The war is over now
and all of the nations are again trad
ing with each other. They seem to
forget grudgcs easily.
"of course, Holland feels embar-
rassed during the stay of the En-
peror, but what can she dol? There
is no phase Of international law that
covers him. That being the case
what's the use of stepping on fel-
low when he's down."
