The American labor delegates abroad, have "rebuked" the French labor leaders for asking them to enter a conference with German labor men. Never will they do so, they declare, until a military victory is achieved. Not unnaturally the French resent this. It is perhaps a little bit hard for them, in the face of the stupendous sacrifices French labor has made for the cause, to be lectured by representatives of a country which has only just begun to enter the war. Whereas French labor is as ready as ever it was to spend lives and all its resources to oppose the Kaiser's dupes, but he insists that it is "the strength of the Socialists to point out to enemies the conditions of the democratic peace they wish realized."
