Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Labour and the Peace Treaty: An Examination of Labour Declarations and the Treaty Terms
Labour's repeated pledges to revise the Treaty. Why the future of European Democracy depends on the fulfilment of these pledges. Labour's Declarations.
The British Labour Party, as well as the Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Union Congress, have on several occasions, and through several channels, since the outbreak of the War(1) insisted clearly and emphatically, not alone on certain general principles Of settlement, but on certain specific details as well.
These declarations, formal, specific, and unmistakable, definitely commit organised Labour in England to a certain policy with reference to the Peace. H we could imagine British Labour not living up to its professions in this respect, but making a scrap of paper of them, not only would the re-establishment of confidence among the workers of the world become impossible, but such efforts as are being made by some at least of the German workers to create a truly democratic and non military republic would be frustrated. British Labour would have strengthened the forces of nationalism and militarism in Germany, perhaps have delivered German workers and Socialists over to those forces. (2)
