Program Adopted BY Social Democrat
Faction Of Reichstag.

London, Sept. 25-There is good rea.
son to believe that the program adopted
hv the social democratic faction OF the
Reichstag at its meeting on Monday was
not only inspired by the German govern
ment. but actually embodies Germany.s
peace terms, according to Rotterdam ad-
vices to the Telegraph.
1t is pointed out by the dispatch that
the part of the program referring 10 IN
ternational arrangements as distinct
from internal reforms was discussed soon
after the failure of the German offensive
and when it became apparent that Ger
many's prospects were hopeless.
The resolutions adopted by the social
demoractic party included the unrestrlct-
ed endorsement Of the Reichstag peace
resolution Of July, 1917. Il also de-
clared in favor Of Germany joining a
league of nations based on peaceable
settlement Of all disputes and general
disarmament.
There were non-e6mmittal declarations
on the restoration of Belgium, on an
understanding regarding indemnlties and
on the restoration Of Serbia and Mon.
tenegro, and declaration that the peace
treaties of st.Litovsk and Bucharest
must not hinder the conclusion of peace.
It was urged that civil administration
over all occupied territories be given
upon the conclusion Of peace to demo
cratic parlaments which are to be es-
tablshed forthwith.

was provided for in the resolution, which
also declared for universal, equal, secret
and direct suffrage for all the German
federal states.
It is said the Prussian Landtag will
