the psychological reaction of their ex-
preSsiOns and their attitude. But I am
hrmly convinced from various CONVEX

they resent every victory, which costs
Just so many more meii.

In regard to the annexation ques-
ton. nearly all Of the Social Demo-.

q re also against II.
The latter organization gives out this
statement:
How would annexation be possible?
On cannot reign In an annexed State
without Introducing the laws of the con-
querinG country. An annexation OF Bel
GUM consequently would crush all the
democratic development Of "a free nation
which has gained tho treasure Of free
dom only after "A long struggle"

ther:
III Germany took foreign elements
into her empire she would not
strengthen, but weaken. the national
unity. The annexation of a foreign
country would exclude all chances FOR
the durability Of a uture peace and
would doubtless be the cause Of a re-
taliatory war"

quests. From the beginning We have
condemned every war Of conquest, and

This Is one side Of the question. The
