international News Burcaul
My comrades of the British Labor
party have. in II recent declaration. de-
fined their views on the subject OF war
aims. They have. in particular. made
their position clear as to tho question
of Alsacc-Lorraine. The Labor party
have renewed their condemnation OF
the crime against the peace OF the
world by which Aisac.- Lorra inc was
torn from Franco in 1871. They en- =
phatically express their sympathy with
the unfortunate inhabitants OF Aisacc-
Lorraine. They demand, lin accordance
with the declarations OF the French
Socialists. that these populations shall
he allowed under the protection OF the
supernatural authority. or League of
Nations. freely to decide what shall be
their future political position
My short stay in London during the
last few days afforded me AN oppor-
tunity Of discussing that resolution
with some of my British friends. They
all said that their wish had been to
harmoniZ1 their own formula with tina
adopted in conference. resolutions and
other statements by French Socialists.
They emphasized this point. that above
all they were anxious to hc in fun
agreement with us. or. rather. TO ac-
ccpt our views and make them their
own. They trusted our will TO respect
scruDulously. even when our national
interests are involved. the principles OF
democracy.
But am afraid the detailed Consjd-
crations in our memorandum III answer
to the Dutch-S caudinav Wan committee
at Stockholm have led our friends Il
little astray, and I will now try to give
the clearest possible statement OF our
views.
Our British labor friends have been
plcbiscite. They know that we always
firmly upheld the right OF peoples TO
dispose OF themselves. They thought
that we could but apply that principle
to the case OF Alsacc-
Lorraine. .Alsacc-Lorraine would re-
cover her right freely to decide. prob
ably under the control of an intcrna-
iional or a Franco German commission.
whether she is 10 remain German or
return 10 France.
This is not the policy advocat.d by
the declarations OF the French Social
lists. What they say Is this: The right
of France TO Alsacc Lorraine remains
unaltcred; il was in violation Of the
right of peoples to DIFFERENTIATION
that Alsacc Lorraine was wrcnchcd
from France: the treaty OF Frankfort
TO which France had TO submit, has
been torn to pieces by Germany's own
Will in 1919: the document by which
.AlSace Lorraine was surrendered to
Germany has now been dcstroyed: the
right OF France remains immuta BILE
therefore AlSacc- Lorraine must come
back to France
