WANT GERMANY FLOAT LOAN TO
 PAY INDEMNITY
JBy International News Service)

crusade for a settlement on the reparations crisis along lines which the leaders of the movement believe will be of the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people-in short, to the workers-of the various coun- tries, for allies and enemies alike.
 The May day resolution of the La bor International was first shot in this campaign.
 You want work" this manifesto declared. "The policy of the ruling classes has closed your markets, has destroyed international trade, is emptying your pockets and your cup boards.
 High finance rules the world and determines the destinies of peoples!"
 The International Labor body has followed with resolution suggesting methods of solving the separations muddle.
 J. Ramsay Mcdonald, in circulat- ing the reparations proposals, said:
 "The working class organizations of the countries that were neutral, as well as of those that were belliger- ents during the war, have been view ing with grave concern the increasing power of militarism and reaction since the armistice. The spirit of war, it's hatred and revengefulness, has been continued since the peace, with the result that the reign of anarchy is prolonged, and justice, both in spirit and form, is kept out of the councils of the nations.
 This is seen with dramatic force in the controversy regarding repara- tions. 1mperialist appetite and capi- talist interests are in control of these negotiations, and unless the working class organizations combine to put an end to this madness still greater ruin stares Europe in the face."
 The resolution, resulting from con- ferences in London and Amsterdam, of the executive of the Labor Inter- national and the Parliamentary Labor parties notes the declaration of the German delegates that they accept liability for "all legitimate repara- tions' and declares that workers of Allied countries recognize that this s1,,%, Sc h h0 orsf pf h O German people and should not be pushed so far as to crush the coun- try and so condemn the working class to form of economic slavery"
 Measures of coercion," the resolu- tion reads, "can never lead to a really satisfactory result. An appeal to military force merely prolongs the period of uncertainty and gives re. action and militarism an opportunity to strengthen their position, to revive the feelings of hatred among the peo ples and to embroil Europe in fresh adventures. The conference considers the check to the London negotiations is due to the capitalistic powers, which, unable to prevent war. are also unable to secure peace, and de- clares that only on the basis of prin- ciples affirmed at the international working class conference can it look for concrete solution which will es- tablish a normal situation and oblit- crate the material and moral traces of the war"
 The following constructive blanks" for solution of the reparations prob lem and the crisis in which Europe finds itself were then made:
 1. One of several great interna- ~tional loans to be floated within five years guaranteed by thirty annuities which Germany should undertake to tion purposes.
 2. Use of French and German la bor on the cooperative basis which they have suggested, in reconstruct ing the devastated areas, thereby eliminating private enrichment of capitalist groups.
 3. Preparations in kind, labor and money, the former so arranged as not to injure the workers in either the delivering or receiving country.
 I. Regarding indemnities over and above those providing for restoration of the war zone: The German gov ernment should agree that annual sums of fixed minimum be paid, bearing proportion to the condition of the country. This sliding scale should not be created on a basis of exports only, but should take account of national wealth and income.
