Mr. Henderson on July 18th told a Labour Conference that

the German Majority Socialists "accepted practically all the general principles" of the Allied Labour Conference on War Aims. We felt sure at the time that Mr. Henderson, whose authority was appar- ently a verbal message from M. Troelstra in Holland, had been grossly deceived. The full text of the German reply to the Allied Labour Conference, which appeared in Thursday's Times, has confirmed our suspicions. Mr. Henderson owes it to himself and his followers to admit publicly that he has been misled once more by his Dutch friends, and that Herr Scheidemann's party are stffi impenitent Pan,Germans who will only be tamed by defeat.
