“THE SOCIALISTS AND PEACE”

Journal des débats, November 11, 1915.

“The socialists and peace”.... “It certainly seems as
if this conference [Zimmerwald] had been organised by
the German socialists, whose intimate connection
with the government of that country is well known.
It is a manoeuvre on the part of our enemies which
should not astonish us. They have resorted to it
several times ever since they have felt that all is up
with them.”
!

...“The French Socialist Party considered it neces-
sary to speak out” (the Socialist Party resolution
against the conference) “in order to dispel any ambi-
guity and to affirm once again that it remains faithful
to the patriotic pact of the sacred union.”
