PAC|HST SENTIMENT
REPORTED Declining
Socialist Mission Optimistic Re
garding the Situation in the
Allied Countries.

AN ATLANTIC PORT September -.
Optimistic reports on the rapid vane
of pacific or defeatist sentiment
among the allied nations were brought
back by members of the American
socialist mission who have arrived
here on a British liner after visit
to Great Britain, France and italy.
Members of the mission are A. NJ
Simons, Milwaukee,: Charles Edward
Russell, New York: Louis Kopelin
Girard. Kansas, and Alexander How
ard, Pittsburgh. In joint statement
they declared that growing faith in
the sincerity of Americas democratic
war aims. as enunciated by President
Wilson. is chiefly responsible for the
stiffening of the allied morale.
Statement by Members.
'We came here almost direct from
the meeting of the British Trade
Union Congress at Derby" the state-
ment said. THE war resolution,
which had been placed upon the
agenda two months before. with every
prospect of adoption. demanded inn
m edlate peace negotiations. when the
congress met, although the delegates
were the same as those who proposed
the resolution the temper of the coun-
try had SO manifestly changed that
the previous resolution was with
drawn. and for it was substituted one
calling Tor negotiations only after
Germany had been driven from France
and Belgium.
''The first was frankly defeatist.
The successful one presupposes Ger
man military defeat"
Pacifism on Decline in France.
The statement added that pacifism
and defeatism are now on the decline
in France that even Jean tongues,
socialist apostle of pacifism, has in
dorsed President Wilson's stand.
"Pacifism is strongest and most
dangerous in Italy" the statement
said, but it is declining even there.
Large sections of the socialist and
union movement are making a
Splendid fight against pacifsm."
