National labor leaders, as we'll as
many from England and other Euro

sions. Governor Smith, Senator Fred

Bernstorff, German Ambassador to the
United States, when Bernstorf was
recalled. Legien denied having received
the letter.
Belgian Wrongs Admitted
AT the end of the long sitting Herr
Sassenbach German Socialist. handed
IN resolution containing a statement
in explanation of the German work
ers attitude during and since the war
Tins was handed over to a committee
for a report, which will be heard Mon
day, when vote on 1t will be taken.
The gist of the Sassenbach resolution
fellows:
The German trades unions always
recognized that Germany acted wrong
~ IN Belgium and always condemned
atrocities commlttcd: The German
occupation of Belgium and the dcpor-
tation of Belgians was not done With
the consent of the German workers,
who, as far as possible, during the war
fought against it: the attitude of the
German workers at the outbreak of
and during the war was dictated by
the position Of Germany. 1t was their
CONVICTION that Germany was fighting
defensive war, which was the opinion
o. an Germans, including the leaders
OF the Independent Socialists.
The German workers always had
been opposed to war and armaments
and never gave assent to the govern
ment's imperialism. If, the resolution
continued, at the beginning of the war
all had been known that now was
known, if the workers had not been
misled and betrayed by the govern
ment, the attitude Of the workers and
their leaders would have been different.
If the German labor movement had sus-
pected that Germany was the aggres-
sor it would, without doubt, have tried
every means to prevent the war.
The German workers recognize that
the workers of other countries cannot
appreciate or understand the several
actions of the German workers during
the war, but these actions were forced
on them by the severe struggle waged
by the German nation.
Many things were done, the resolu-
ton said. under the full conviction that
right was on Germany's side, that
never would have been done in the
light of the truth now being brought
home. The German workers at the be-
ginning of the war tried to do their
duty without wronging the laboring
classes of other countries and without
failing in their own national obliga-
tions.
