HOLLAND DEMOCRATIC PARTY
PROCLA|NS STONEWALL STAND
AGAINST SURRENDER OF GUILTY
Committee Demands Resignation OF Cabinet Members Rather
Than Yielding to Exradtion Which Constitution and
Lack of Applicable Law Are Claimed to Block.

AMSTERDAM. Jan. 20.--A commit-
tee Of the Holland democratic party
today passed a resolution against the
surrender Of war criminals and de-
manding that democratic members OF
the cabinet resign before yielding TO
the allied demands.

council today adopted the final list OF
German war guilty who surrender for
trial viii be demanded.
Constitution Gives Protection
THE HAGUE, Jan. 2O.--There is
every indication that the Dutch gov
eminent will refuse the allied demand
for extradition Of the former kaiser.
1t is learned in official quarters that
the government will probably base It's
refusal upon certain clauses in the
Netherland constitution, and special
treaties.
It is likely the Dutch reply viii
state that the constitution assures
every person. whether of Dutch OF
foreign birth the same rights Of pro-
lection. In addition. Holland has con-
cluded special treaties with France,
England and United States that every
demand for extradition will be treated
in accordance with that principle OF
the constitution.
Not covered by Law
IT is believed the Dutch reply Will
point ont that the alleged offenses,
with which wilhelm is charged, are
not mentioned in treaties or laws OF
powers demanding extraditicn ana
that no state can give its judicial aid
toward the punishment of an act TOT
which no law exists
Considerable relief has been
pressed that the United States did NOT
sign the demand for extradition. the
Dutch public is generally solidly pc
hind the government and believes tnat
the allies, recognizing that Holianu
cannot comply with the demands, VIII
abandon the idea of international triai.
