British Socialists
Propose Reparation
By All Belligerents
lBy The Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 28-The interallied
Socialist and Labor conference was
opened in London this morning, under
the presidency of Arthur Henderson,
member of the House of Commons and
former minister without portfolio.
Some seventy delegates, representing
Great Britain, Belgium. Russia, France,
Portugal, Greece, South Africa and
Italy, are present. More than half of
them are British, representing various
sections of the Socialist and Labor
parties.
The figures are of little significance,
however, as the conference is not to
vote, but TO consult, and, if possible,
agree on the policy TO be followed in
regard TO the international Socialist
conference at Stockholm. II it proves
to De impossible to reach an agree
ment the various sections will put for
ward their own views at Stockholm.
The chief subject for consideration
by the conference, however, is the war
aims Of the Allies A report on this
matter has been drawn up by the ex-
ecutive committee of the British Labor
party, as well as by the French Labor
party, and an effort will be made to
reach an agreement.
The sessions of the conference will
be private. Reports of each days pro-
ceedings will be issued.
A number of resolutions have been
submitted for discussion. The indie
pendent Labor party asks that the
principle that minorities, as well as
majorities, shall be represented at
Stockholm be recognized by the con-
ference. The British Socialist party
presented statement declaring there
is common responsibility for the war
and that reparation must be from a
common fund contributed by all the
belligerents. The statement demands
the return of conquered territory, in
Guiding the German colonies, and calls
on the working people to intervene and
end the war. Other declarations refer
to the future of ace-Lorraine.
Mr.. Henderson, according to the Of
fetal report, said in addressing the
meeting:
THE conference has met to consider
and determine as impartially and Just
ly as possible the future attitude Of
labor and socialism in the Allied coun-
tries toward war and peace. The main
issues involved in the world conflict
are 20 fundamental, farreaching and
vital to the future of the human race
as to demand dispassionate and faith
full consideration both by the majority
and minority sections of all the coun-
tries represented. No satisfactory re-
suits could be achieved by any at
tempts Of the majority to outvote the
minority.
"The better course is to begin by a
clear recognition of their differences
in an endeavor to reach by mutual
agreement a basis Of war aims calcu.
lated to provide a lasting, honorable
and democratic peace. Though none OF
the decisions Of the conference will be
bending upon the government, they
would be regarded throughout the
world as the considered judgment Of
the organized proletariat OF the cOun-
tries represented"
No official information was given out
concerning the extent of the business
transacted, but it IL understood several
speeches were delivered by French del
egates, the tenor of which indicated
wide differences of opinion on many

not be vital 20 the empires.
In the same way the phrase no

Henderson to Leave Union
Post to Organize Brother
hoods for Election
Ry Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Aug. 28.--Although Stock
holm was the chief topic OF discussion
at to-day's secret session of the Allied
Socialist conference here, the delegates
considered a much larger question
that OF the Socialists future attitude
toward the war. Efforts are being
made to reach an agreement on set
Of war aims satisfactory to all the
European Allies. Although some spe-
cifc points are being made, the So
cialists are considering the question
Of peace broadly, without trying TO nix
frontiers or state the size of indemni-
ties. | am told that the first days SEES
sion was considered eminently salts
factory.
Stockholm no longer holds the place
of Importance it did ten days back. A
compromise in party councils here Is
likely. There is good authority for
stating that Arthur Henderson will re-
sign as the tituar head of the Labor
party in Parliament. J. H. Thomas,
the railway union executive, will sue
coed him. While retaining his posi-
tion as secretary of the Labor party
Henderson intends to devote his time
10 the organization of the brother
hoods. which means that Labor is plan
ming ahead for the next general cleo
ton. Probably no announcement will
be made until the reassembling OF
Parliament in mid-October.
Lack Of strong leadership is the only
thing which has prevented Labor from
becoming an extremely important
political factor in the last three
months. But the organization is work
ing quietly and with a definite policy
now, and the old party systems may
find new conditions existing when the
general election is held.

Engines Cost 81 900 Less Now
Than Year Ago

WASHINGTON, Aug 2s.-The price
Of airplane engines for the United
States government has fallen 81 900
within a year, it was learned to-day.
At that time few were being par
chased, and the cost Of production was
considerably higher than at the pres
ent time, when the government is
purchasing airplanes By the thousand.
Another element in the reduced cost
is the fact that experimentation was
then going forward on large scale,
and the buyers had to pay the cost of
the experiments in the price of the
machines.

for hay will mean that a number of
