Captain TUDOR-REESasked the Prime Minister whether the trial of the ex-Kaiser and other war criminals is contingent upon the ratification of the Peace Treaty by the United States of America; and what progress has been made in the direction of bringing such criminals to justice?
§ The PRIME MINISTERAs to the first part of the question, I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by discussing any such contingency As to the second part, it is not expedient to say more at present than that an enormous mass of evidence, including many thousands of depositions, has been examined, and that the final list of accused persons is now under consideration.
§ Mr. WALLACEasked the Attorney-General whether arrangements have now been completed for the trial of the Kaiser; and, if so, where the trial is to take place?
§ Sir G. HEWARTThe arrangements referred to have not been completed. With regard to the place of trial, there is nothing to be added to, or subtracted from, the announcement already made.
