Hol- land's view point as regards William Hozenhollern may be stated as' foi- lows: { "The Netherlands, which for cen- turies has accorded political refuge to all, considers the former Emperor and Crown Prince as refugees, not as royalty, but as persons entitled to the same nights as any plain Joann | Schmidt, who fled to Holland during the war. This principle is so strong- | ly 7held by the Government and also {by the press of Holland that nothing | 1s likely to change it." { The Dutch Govérnment has made {up its mind az to its conduct in the {event the surrender of William | Hozonhollern is asked for. No offi- cial statement has been made in this connection, but it is learned that Holland considers the former em- perar beyond extradition, as there is no possible way to hold him legally as a criminal. Bf they desired to in- sist on the privilege, both the Hozen- zollerns would be free to go where they liked, as they are in no sense prisoners. However, hecause they feel that they would embarrass Hol- land even further; they parently agreed to remaly' where they are now, the father at Amerengon and the son at Wieringon.
