Dutch to intern Wilhelm at Doorn amid exile talks
The Allied note on Wilhelm II shifts from surrender to internment. The Netherlands plans to shield him at Doorn with strict guard and censorship, potentially relocating him to a Dutch island in the East Indies. Officials view Doorn as ideal for containment. The proposal aims to end the thorn of the former emperor's presence in Holland. Policymakers expect Allies to accept Dutch responsibility for his custody. The note reached the Dutch premier last night, with no public text as of noon.
