SOCIALISTS WILL
GET PARTY PEACE
AIMS OVER WORLD

London, Wednesday, March 90
The first step in carrying out the
plans for an international working
class policy Camille Huysmans,
secretary of the Socialist interna-
tional, announced today, would be
to give a clear statement en- inter
allied policy to American workers
and to show them that the policy
is essentially in harmony with
that of President Wilson In the
meantime the inter-allied Socialist
memorandum on war aims will be
forwarded to Germany, Austria and
Bulgarian Socialists.
NJ. Huysmans considers 1t likely
that the Socialist organizations in
enemy countries will agree upon a
common policy or viii make sep
aTate statements on the lines of the
inter-ailied memorandum. If these
show certain agreements. the pro-
pOsal for a general SOCIALIST CON
gress will be put INTO operation.
All parties would be represented
and the inteT-ailied Socialists favor
Switzerland as a meeting place.
