Dutch Urged to Hand Over Offender

Paris.-The Temps asserts that the
general secretary of the Peace con-
ference has handed to the Dutch min
lister note from the Supreme Council
demanding the extradition of former
Emperor William. :,.-:'%
The Supreme coucils note to the
Dutch government asking that the
former German emperor be given up
to: the Allies under Article 227 of the
Versailles treaty for trial, points out
that if the former emperor had re-
manned in Germany he would have
been delivered up under. the same con-
dition by the German government.
Among so many Crimes" the note
recalls the cynical violation of the
neutrality of Belgium and Luxembourg;
the barbarous system of hostages;
massed deportations; systematic de-
vastations without military reasons;
the submarine war;" and declares:
For all of which acts responsibility,
at least moral, reaches the supreme
chief, who ordered them or abused his
unlimited powers to break, or permit
others to break the most sacred rules
OF human conscience.
Argument Is Deprecated.
''The powers cannot conceive that
The Netherlands would regard with
less Reproduction than themselves the
immense responsibility weighing upon
the former emperor. Holland would
not be fulfilling her international duty
if she refused to associate herself with
other nations. SO far as she is able, to
prosecute, or at least not impede, the
punishment of crimes committed"
The note points out that it is the
duty of the powers to insure execution
of Article 227 without entering into
argument, because: 1T is not ques-
tion of public accusation having
throughout a legal character, but an
act of high International policy i'm
posed by the universal conscience, in
which legal forms are employed solely
to insure the accused body guarantees
such as have hitherto been unknown
in public law"
Moral Appeal Made.
1t concludes by expressing the con-
viction that Holland, one of the first
to claim a place in the League of Ma
tions, will not desire to cover by moral
authority violation of the essential
principles ofsthe solidarity of nations,
and that all are interested to prevent
return of similar catastrophe. !
