MR HENDERSON.
ADDRESS AT LABOUR. CONFERENCE. JUSTIFIES HIS RECENT ATTITUDE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received August 11, 1 p.m.) LONDON, August 10. Mr Arthur Henderson, addressing tho Labour Conference, said that the Russians wanted a binding conference and distrust peace terms. He had pointed out to them that only Governments could negotiate for peaco. Finding that a conference was inevitable, he considered that, it would be inadvisable and dangerous to prevent the Russians to confer with the enemy without hearing the British side. He had no alteration to make to the recommendation that British delegates should attend, provided satisfactory conditions were laid down. Ho believed that a consultative conference would be productive of good, enabling the German Minority Socialists to inform the German people of the British facts withheld from their knowledge.
