 ''The VorWaerts of Berlin saying that the German socialists would SUD- port the proposed new international peace conference warmly and ener- getically as they did the unsuccessful Stockholm conference, declares the new conference will not be dependent on issuance of passports by the En- tente powers. The conference, it adds, held only for international socialists, cannot allow the governments of states, which are only apparently democratic, to deprive them of the right to influence the peace question" /"
