BRITAIN AND GERMANY.
SOCIALIST YIEV.M. The war scare between Britain and Germany camo up at the Socialist Confer: nee yesterday when Comrade Colona moved as follows — "We,, delegates of the New Zealand Socialist party, in conference.assembled, at the lime of trial _and anxiety in Britain and Germany, send fraternal greetings to the workers of both countries, and pledge ourselves to do our utmost in the interests of international peace and amity. The mover said ho was proud to have tho privilege of moving this motion. Tlo capitalistic press, he asserted, were crying for blood and stirring up strife, and tho duty of the Socialists was to inculcate brotherhood Comrade M'Donnell thought the resolution could be ssnt by letter; there was no hurry he^said. Comrade Fitzgerald seconded this, which was moved as an amendment; there was no need for hysterics. Their purpose would be served just as well by saying a few shillings and putting far more in it, instead of putting money into a capitalistic company. • A delegate: What would tho cablo cost? codl'if SeCl ' etary (Mr- B - H ° sg): Tllh ' f y shillings Comrade Fitzgerald: Sixty meals for sixty hungry people. " " It was eventually decided to adopt the resolution, and forward it by post.
