do is to inform ourselves of the pres
ent position Of the German Social
ist minority, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft,
under the leadership of Haase, Bern
stein, Kautsky and Ledebour.
This minority, in its peace manifesto,
drawn up by kautsky, adopts the Lim-
merwald and kienthal programmes by
name and accuses the Entente govern
ments and the Entente Socialist ma
jorities of being the cause of the reJec-
ton Of this German peace offer in
Western Europe. The Entente peoples,
it is implied, are for an immediate Ger
man peace. In this manifesto all gov
ernments are regarded as alike, the
Kaiserism on whit worse than the
French democracy. We read:
"The opposition Social Democrats OF
Germany do not have enough confidence
in any bourgeois government to trust
it with the liberation of any nation
whatever through war"
And finally, the demand for no an
nexation and the return to the status
QUO: 1--WE reject all notifications OF
frontiers which are not compensatory:
There is no objection to diplomatic
trading. But Germany and Austria
must not lose their dominion over un-
willing subjects conquered in previous
wars unless compensated elsewhere.
This programme was adopted about
the first OF January. 1t tells the whole
story of the origin of the ideas now be
ing promoted by Lenin and Skobelef IN
the Russian Council of Workmen's and
Soldiers Deputies. While processing
to be working with the German revolu'
tionists, Liebknecht and Rosa Luxem,
burg, these men know, and would
scarcely dare to deny, that they have
adopted the peace programme held In
common by the anti-revolutlonary
minority led by Haase and Bernstein
and the pro-Kaiser majority led by
Schedemann and Legion, and the large
group of German capitalists and bu-
reaucrats led by Delbrdck and Dern-
burg. who are against the annexation
of the territory of Germany's enemies
and in favor of securing the hegemony
of the Continent of Europe by the
practical annexation of the territory OF
i,ermany's present allies.

tories and subject races as before the
war, regardless Of the wishes of these
races.
Both factions are agreed that Ger
many's relative political, economic and
military position in the world is to be
maintained. Both factions are agreed
that no matter what crimes the Ger
man people allow the Kaiser TO commit,
the German people are not to be made
to pay or to be held in any way re-
sponsible. This is the programme

A Belgian indemnity, these Socialists
concede, should be granted as an eX-
ception, though there is to be no in
demnity whatever for Serbia, Poland or
France But this magnanimity would
be paid for, twice over, either by MILL
tary or economic concessions forced
from Belgium or by demand for the
Belgian Congo. There might be pleb-
iscte in Alsace-Lorraine regarded as

has these provinces sufficiently packed
with Germans to insure a German out

London, doubtless for this reason, favor
such a ebiscite-though they have
succeeded in getting the American
party to drop its former demand, passed
at the beginning of the war, elsewhere
in Germany, Austria and Turkey.
German Minority's Stand
The attitude Of the German minority
on this question is clear. AS Bernstein
has written in "Die Neue Zeit," the OFF,
cial party weekly, Neither the rulers
of Germany nor the majority of the
German people can be won over to the
view that the question, to which coun-
try should Alsace and Lorraine belong.
can be decided now during the war"
In word, this question is to be lett
open to the peace conference. Ger
many's terms are not to be given IN
this connection, but are to be decided
later, as urged by the German Chan
cellor in his famous peace move of last
December. They would be decided on
the basis of Germany's military victory,
which, as we have seen, Bernstein urges
as indispensable TO civilization and
which he and the German minority be-
lieve is now secure, but which they
now find it more diplomatic to call "a
drawn war"
The Zimmerwald conference was fol-
lowed by another conference in the fol-
lowing year 1870 at Kienthal, also in
Switzerland. This gathering renewed
its faith in German leadership. 1t was
attended by the same Socialist elements
] have mentioned above as being under
German Socialist influence, and it re-
newed the Zimmerwald declaration.
It is, therefore, scarcely necessary
TO await the next international con-
ference at Stockholm, or at some new
point selected by the Russian Work
mems Council, in order TO know what
action will be taken. All we have to

A conference in the Office of Borough

plans for the early restoration OF the
CITY Hall cupola was in favor OF re,

Grosvenor Atterbury, the architect

Any plans will have to be approved

a few exceptions, have repeatedly de-
clared that they are radicals and not
revolutionists, and Bernstein has stated
that there is no prospect of revolution
in Germany before the end of the war.
Nevertheless, three facts give the
German minority the greatest prestige
among the Socialists of neighboring
countries, even including the revolu-
tionary Russians:
% However feeble the opposition Of
the German minority TO the Kaiser
may be, it shines in contrast with the
subserviency and seryility of the ma
jority. s-
(2) The Socialists of the world have
drawn their leadership and inspiration
from Germany for half a century, es-
pecially from such men as Kautsky and
Bernstein.
CD The foreign Socialists above
mentioned agreed with the Germans
that the war had reached deadlock lin
the spring of 1850. Liebknecht and
Ledebour declared at that time:
"The incontestable fact is the favor
able military position of Germany.
The frontiers are secure, and the war
is being fought on the enemy's
ground" From their Manifesto Of
March, 1850
Their First Conference
1t was on this basis that the German
minority finally succeeded in getting
together their first international" con-
gress at Zimmerwald, in September,
1915. This conference unanimously de-
manded a peace based upon the exist
ing German victory. 1t called this i'm
mediate peace regardless of the
strategic ituation"-although it is GER
tain that not a delegate present would
have favored peace regardless of the
strategic situation" if the Gear had
then been victorious instead of the
Kaiser.
The Zimmerwald conference adopted
the German Socialist peace formula as
it had been put forth by the German ma
jority in August. For as regards peace
terms there is no division between the
Scheidemann and the Haase group, il
we ignore few individuals, nor be-
tween the Germans and the Austrians
and Hungarians. All are agreed that
the Germans and Hungarians are to
continue to rule over the same terri
