Resolutions of International Socialist Bureau at Brussels, July 29.
In assembly of July 29 the International Socialist Bureau has heard
declarations from representatives of all nations threatened by a world
war, describing the political situation in their respective countries.
With unanimous vote, the bureau considers it an obligation for the
workers of all nations concerned not only to continue but even to
strengthen their demonstrations against war in favor of peace and of a
settlement of the Austro-Servian conflict by arbitration.
The German and French workers will bring to bear on their Governments
the most vigorous pressure in order that Germany may secure in Austria a
moderating action, and in order that France may obtain from Russia an
undertaking that she will not engage in the conflict. On their side the
workers of Great Britain and Italy shall sustain these efforts with all
the power at their command.
The congress urgently convoked in Paris [it was never held] will be the
vigorous expression of the absolutely peaceful will of the workers of
the whole world.
It is further resolved that the International Socialist Bureau
congratulates the Russian workers on their revolutionary attitude, and
invites them to continue their heroic efforts against Czardom as being
one of the most effective guarantees against the threatened world war.
