The German majority socialists, in OPP

Albert Thomas calling for investiga ton
of responsibility for the war. introduced
resolution to the effect that the war
, had been the consequence of imperialist
policy during the last decade, but it was
the duty of the socialists to establish
the immediate causes. The resolution
says that the causes of the war were
the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia, the
general mobilization in Russia and Ger
nany's declaration of war as result of
RuSsia's mobilization.
The German socialists, the resolution
says, demand full investigation of the
facts to establish collective and personal
responsibilities. but wait for their COM
rades in other countries to demand
similar investigation in their countries.
The German socialists declare that the
entry of German troops into Belgium
was a violation of the rights of peoples
which nothing that has occurred since
has justified,

these was that of neutralizing the mag
