The speech of Herr Hasz, who then led Builders' Union, who has as much right the party, chowed that they took this to speak for German Trade Unionism as anyone. At the Trade Union Congress course because Germany was threatened at Masich in June, 1914, he was threaten- with

one horn of the dilemma; a touch of Socialism, and you come at once into con flict with the other parties who support the Government. Can no way be found of combining suppen of the Government with Socialist principles? Some of the Majority say thas it can. SCHULZ thinks it can be achieved by 'pationt co-operation, He defines the class-war as the whole effort of the workers to pass from their economically unfree position of to-day into the social body. He admits that "We must it will take generations." go little by little, he says, and deal with each problem as it arises--this in the British way." He overlooks the fact that he is advocating & British method without the British conditions or machin- ery.

This is the other horn of their dilemma. No doubt it is hoped that the Govern war, will be so grateful for the help of the Majority that it will do something for them, After victory, however, the "National" parties who had seen things through would be absolutely in the ascend. ant, and opposition to Social Democracy their strongest feature. There would The Government
The voting of the credit on 4th August, 1914, however, broke the Social Democra tic party, though the actual split did not take place until nearly two years later. Meanwhile, the Socialist Press in all the principal neutral countries denounced the German Socialists for supporting a war of offence and an unprovoked attack on a little neutral country, and pointed out that they had uttered no word of protest against the outrages committed in Bel- gium. On March 24th, 1016, the breach came; Herr HAASE and 17 others voted against the Notetatgesetz, and Érase used the memorable words: "Some call the object of the war the extension of our world-power to world dominion. Only fools or criminals would follow such views." By 58 votes to 33 the Parlia mentary party condemned HAASE and his followers for breach of faith. The partyment, after a victorious conclusion of the
