some timid demand as to Turkey

Armenia being firmly in Russian hands

quit of America, who like all other
Socialists, always advocated interior
ence in the affairs of Russia under the
car, says turly that the Stockholm
conference does not intend to inter-
fere with the internal affairs of Ger
many. But this is by no means the
full extent of the pro- German and pro-
kaiser sentiment among the Socialist
factions represented at Stockholm
Staining, the leader Of the Socialists
Of Denmark, and a cabinet minister in
that country, expressed what is un-
doubleday the prevalent view among
the Stockholm Socialists, that whereas
| there is no immediate need of revolu-
ton in Germany, there should be a
further revolution in Russia, which
would result nrSt In separate peace
and then in a general peace on the
terms of the German Socialists. as en-
dorsed by all the other Socialist fac
tons mentioned. Staining said in an
interview with the reliable Berliner
Tageblatt, June 10, that there will
be no separate peace until "the present
Russian government is overthrown and
proletarian cabinet takes its place
and sends peace delegates to Ger
many"
Here then Is the final conclusion of
the socalled international Stockholm
conference, to be held June % to July
7. There Is to be further revolution
in Russia, then a threat of separate
peace and finally general peace which
will establish the empires of Central
Europe, which is the main purpose Of
the kaiser and the German military
caste in the present war.
