During this time there has been no demand, officially or unoffi- cially, for his extradition or delivery L to the allics, nor has Holland at ail changed its viewpoint toward him. The Associated Press learned this today from sources that are unques- tionable. Holland’s viewpoint as. re- gards William Hohenzolern may be year ago next ed political refuge to all, considers-the former emperor and crown prince as , but_as pe ons entitled to the same rights as idt who fled to Holland during the war. This princi- ple is so strongly held by the govern- ment, and also by the press of Hol- land, that nothing is likely to change it, it is asserted, ., The Dutch government has made up its mind as to its conduct in the event the surrender of William Hohenzollern is asked for. No official statement has been made in this connection, but The Assoclated Press learns that Holland consider the former emperor beyond extradition, as there is no possible way legally to hold him as a criminal If they desired to insist on the priv- ilege, both the Hohenzollerns would be free to go where they liked, as they are In no sense prisoners. However, because they fee! that they would em- ba Hoiland even further, they ap- parently have agreed to remain where | they now are—the father at Ameron- gen and his son at Wieringen. If the one-time cmperor and crown prince desired to return to Germany, they would be permitted to go. While it is possible that Frederick William some day may return to Germany, of- ficial circles in The Hague are in- clined to the belief that William Hohenzollern is céntent to settle down to the life of a country gentleman at Doorn, where he has been permitted to bul a small estate. Although a number of purported in- | terviews with the former emperor have | been published, the fact is that he never has spoken for publication since request of The Associated Press cor- respondent for a statement on the oc- casion of the anniversary of his taking refuge here he sent a reply saying mination not to speak. “Holland realizes the unpleasantness of the situation created by the fact that the former German ruler sought refuge here a year 4go,” a Dutch offi- cial said to The Associated Press to- day. “But for us it is only a question of sticking to the princivles which have guided us for cenfuries. ‘Also there is the question of prin- ciples in our negotiations of Belgium's ¢emands with regard to territorial ad {usifients.
