SOCIALIST CONFERENCE
 OF ENTENTE COUNTRIES
To Be Held at the Hague-14 coun-
 tries Invited to Participate.

The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. 22.-
 Correspondence of The Associated
 Press. .)-As many as fourteen different
 national sections are being invited to
 take part in the Socialist Conference
 of Entente countries which is being
 organized by the socialist internation-
 als of this city. namely, Britain,
 France, Italy, Portugal, Canada, Aus
 tralia and New Zealand. The dele-
 gates of the entente socialists are to meet in London. probably in January
 next, the conference having been call
 ed on the initiative of the party in
 France. More significance naturally a ttaches to the decisions which may
 be arrived at than was the case with the less influential conference of neu- tral socialists held at The Hague some mcnths since.
 The programme, as published here,
 aims at establishing common action With a. view to directing the policy rection Of on-anneXation, the guar anteeing of the rights of the nations | by international institutions, and the exclusion from all economic treaties of everything that would contain the germs of fresh conflicts. It will be re- filled that while the International So- ciaIist Bureau is still in touch with sne parties of the Central Empire as well as of the entente countries, 1t has not yet succeeded in its ultimate oD- feet of bringing all socialist parties together again on a common agreed policy in regard to the war. It IS doubtless hoped that the coming Bon- i don conference will bring the desired goal nearers
