THE SOCIALIST MILLENIUM. PEACEFUL FEDERATION OF THE WORLD. i ’(Received 9.10 a.in.) London,. February 16. Mr Ivicr Hardie, president of a conference of English, French, Belgian, and Russian Socialists in London, moved a resolution that a German victory would mean the defeat and destruction of democracy and liberty in Europe. The Conference resolved to resist any attempt to transform this defensive war into a war of conquest. The Allies, after the victory, must aim at popular liberty and unity among the independent autonomy nations, and the peaceful federation of the world. The working classes after the war must unite to suppress militarism and enforce international arbitration. They also demanded the liberation of and compensation to Belgium ; that the status of Poland be settled in accordance with the wishes of its people, either with autonomy or complete indepenence for Alsace-Lorraine; and that the Balkan population annexed by force should have the right freely to dispose itself as it wished.
