said, to find bases and conditions on
which common action could be taken.
He explained why the majority OF
French socialists considered it impos-

socialists in "A conference, which would
rave been conroked without prelimi-
rnrN recognition of common principles.

'lar"d that il was desirable that the
socialists of all countries should clear

come the occasion of new German in

war aims of International democracy

together to assure the defeat of Ger
