Paris, Feb. 9.
The amiable desire of the Germans (doubtless ''by order"") to be friends with te French hardly seems to be reciprocated by the latter, if we may judge by what took place in the Chamber of Deputies two days ago.
This week there was an internstional conference of Socialist delegates (minus the Germans) in London. Cne of these delegate: was M. Marcel Sembat. a wealthy Socialist who holds office as Minis ter of Public Works in the French Cabinet. Another Socialist Minis ter, M. Jules Guesde, was to have attended but was prevented from so doing by ill-health.
The conference passed a long resolution, or series of resolutions, in which it was laid down that the proletariat is not making war oe the German people and is ready to resume relations with them after the war. Although there is any amount of evidence that the German people continues to accord the fullest possible support to its Government, this distinction, or di sion of responsibility (which implies that while Governments may make mistakes the People can do Wrong) naturally appealed to the visionaries and advocates of universal brotherhood who form large part of the Socialist party in France.
