Vsem sOcialistiGnim strankam V centralnih
drzavah je bill ma to odposlan program konferen-
ce. kakor je znan0, ga je bilo najteze dostaviti
socialistom v Nem6iji,k er je nemSka vlada ovirala
To ma ve na6ine, Naposled sc je pa spomenica
vtihotapila tudi tia.
TIE dni ie imela angleska Labour Party kon-
ference, menda V Northampton. in tam je znani
"parlamentarni vodja Arthur Henderson iziavil,
da je stranka zadnji mesec, cetudi $ tezavami,
dobila odgovOre cd prizadetih socialisticnih
Sirank in sicer od naslednjih petih Cd bolgarske
stranke, od ogrske, cd avstriiske, cd nemske
m%anjSine, in od nemSke veGine.
SodeG po TEN, nj bill odbor, Xxi Sc je obracal
do centralnih socialiStov zadostno poucen o or
ganizaciji socialistitnih strank V prizadetih de
aelah. Ma Bolgarskem sta dive socialisti6ni stran-
Ii, 'Tesni'' in ''Siroki'', kar sc priblizno vienna
z ruskimi boljSeviki in menjSeviki, in razvidno
nj, cd katere ten strank je prisel odgovor.
V Avstro-Ogrski je stvar Sc drugaGna.
V avstrijski polovici je I socialistiGnih strank:
NemSka, GeSka centralisti6na i'm ceSka avtonomi-
Sticna, poljska, rusinska, jugoslovanSka in itali-
janSka. Res da je med mimi neka zveza, toda
V vpraSaniu mirOvnih pogojev Sc nikakor ne vie
majo, in nemSki socialist MISC mogli sami V tel
zadevi odgovoriti "a vse avstriiske socialiste, ne
glede ma to, da je tudi med mimi vetina in mani
Sina kakOr V NemGiji.
Ali &c bi re well IA mogoGe. ia je bl odgo-
vor "a angleSko stranko sprejet ma kakSni skup-
nj konferenci vSeh avstrijskih strank, ostane :
tenn vendar neresenO dvoje drugih ~vpraSanj. Kje
jc ostala hrvaSka in kje bosansko herregovska
stranka?
Obe ~Omenjeni stranki sta popolnoma avto-
nomi; cello med sabo morata biti loceni, ker sta
HrvaSka in Bosnia tudi drzavopravno loGeni. V

da hi mogla avstrijska ali pa cello ogrska stranka

SENATORS
PEACE PROGRAM
Presidents Trip, Choice of
Delegates and League
Are Discussed.

The proposed league of nations. the
trip. of the President to Europe to
attend tho peace conference and his
failure to- appoint a member of the
senate as one of the peace commits
sioners were all discussed in the Sen
ste- late yesterday afternoon.
Senator Johnson, republican of Cal
ffornia, asked that the President in
terrret his principles for the Ameri-
can people before interpreting them
for the allied governments. He said
dorse the fourteen points when de-
l'vered. and a month later the Presi-
dent in another address explained
that his previous terms as laid down
by him were only tentative and that
there was nothing permanent about
them.
Some Of the principles were char
acterfzed by senator Johnson as
nebu1ous, some indescribable, and
some not understood" He said the
tnNesfdent was leaving the people not
showing what he meant or what he
goes for
Affront Not Intended.
senator Lewis of Illinois, democrat.
declared that appointment of n sena-
tor on the peace delegation wouId
have been comparable to appointing
members of the Supreme Court to sit
IN lower court The public, Senator
Lewis said. had been given the i'm
preston that the President. by fail
ing to appoint a senator, showed a
lack OF respect for the body, whereas
he was sure the President had no
such intention.
Closing the days debate. Senator
Reed OF Missouri and Williams of
Mississippi. democrats, clashed on the
question of league of nations. The
Missouri senator vigorously opposed
a league given power to use military
force in imposing it's DEGREES upon a
single nation. and the Mississippi
senator argued that a league to en-
iorce peace as final resort, by joint
military force, IS desirable Senator
Williams expressed hope that world
Monroe doctrine would result from

British Wireless Service).--The Times
in discussing the former German en-
peror's act of remuneration points out
that there is still room for doubt
whether >his abdication is legal. and
adds:
Moreover. the only effect of the em-
peror'S abdication under the Prussian
constitution is to make the crown
prince King of Prussia. and there
fore, until the German empire is
formally dissolved, the German em-
peror. Last Thursdays document.
therefore, does not abolish the Prus-
sian monarchy and still less does it
set up the republic Of Prussia. That
can only be done by a formal revision
of the Prussian constitution, and until
that is carried out the Prussian mon
archy still exists according to law.
"If the Germans made up their
minds to get rid of the monarchy 1t 10
highly desirable that they should lose
no time in clothing the deposition Of
