The Powers do not ask the Queen's Government to depart from its tradi tional policy, but consider that the nature of their request which does not in their urinion depend solely or even mainly on Dutch municipal law-has not been ade quately appreciated.
No question of prestige is at gtake, and the Powers cannot wait for, the cruntion. of a world tribunal competent to examine international arimes before bringing to trial the responsible author of the catae

Would not the refusal of the Queen's Government to hand over the ex-Emperor, if persisted in, create an unfortunate pre cedent tending to render ineffectiva ay proceedings taken by an international tribunal against criminals in high places!
The Government of the Netherlands does not appear to consider that it shares with the other civilized nations the duty of seiring the punishment of crimes against justice and the principles of humanity- crimes for which William of Hohenzollern undeniably bears a heavy responsibility.
It is impossible to disregard the collec tive force of the request.
The Netherlands Government bas surely not forgotten that the policy and personal actions of the man required for-judgment by the Powers have cost the lives of approximately ten million men murdered in their prime, and have been responsible, for the mutilation or shattered health of three times as many; the laying waste, and destruction of millions of square miles of territory in countries formerly indus- trious, peaceable, and happy and the piling up of war debts running into bil- lions, the victims being men who had de fended their freedom, and incidentally that of Holland. The economic and social existence of all these nations has been thrown into confusion and is now jeopar dized by famine and want, the terrible results of that war of which, William II. was the author.
Way
The Allies cannot conceal their surprise at finding, in the Dutch teply, ao single word of "disapproval of the crimesom mitted by the Emperor, crimes which out- rage the most elementary sentiments off humanity and civilization, and of which, in particular, so many Dutch nationals) have themselves been the innocent victims on the high seas. To help to bring to justice the author of such crimes crimes for which, in the words of Grotins, the culprits fare" puniendi ant dedendi aut certe amovendi (Book II., chap. 21, 4.) plainly accords with the aim of the League of Nations.
How can anyone fail to be impressed by the reactionary manifestations which have followed the refusal of Holland, and the dangerous encouragement, thus given to all those who are opposing the just chas tisement of the culprits and their exemp lary condemnation, whatever their social position!
Holland, whose history tells of long struggles for liberty, and who has suffered so grievously through disregard of justice, could not place berself by such a narrow conception of her duties, outside the comity of nations,
The duty which none con avoid for national reasons, however weighty they may be, is to unite in order to mete out exemplary punishment to the responsible authors of the disasters and abominations of the war, and to endeavour to regive conceptions of solidarity and humanity in. the German nation, which is still uncon vinced of the falsity of the tenets of Its Government, who professed that might was right, and that success condoned
crime.
It was from this point of view, and not exclusively from the national standpoint, that the Powers requested the Government! of the Queen to hand over William of Hohenzollern, and from this point of view they now renew that request.
The Powers desire to remind the Gor ernment of the Netherlands that if it should persist in its attitude of detachment towards the presence of the Imperial family on its territory, so alose to Ger many, it would assume direct responsibi Lity both for sheltering a criminal from the chims of justice, and for that pro paganda which is so dangerous to Europe and the whole world. It is indisputable that the permanent presence of the ex Emperor, under fatally ineffectual experi vision, at a few kilometres distance frem the German frontier, where he continues to be the centre of active and increasing intrigue, constitutes, for the Powers who have made superhuman sacrifices to des troy this mortal danger, a menses which they cannot be called upon to accept. The rights they pescas în virtue of the most express principles of the Law of Nations entitle them, and make it their duty, to take such measures ds are required for their own security

The Powers cannot conceal the painful impression made upon them by the refusal of the Dutch Government to hand over the ex-Emperor to them, without any con sideration of the possibility of reconciling the scruples of Holland with some effec tual precautionary measures, to be taken either on the spot or by bolding the e Emperor at a distance from the scene of bis crimes, making it impossible for him to exert his disastrous influence in. Ger, many in the fature Although a proposal of this nature would not have correspond ed fully to the request of the Powers, CHINA, JAPAN STRALIS SETTLE would at least have afforded proof of the T
INDO-CHINA, PHILIPSFINE feelings which Holland cannot but posse
The Powers urge upon the Dutch flow ernment in the most solemn and pressing mann the importance attaching to free consideration of the question put before her They desire that it may be clearly understood how grave the stat might become if the Netherland Gove ment were not in a position to e
