Meeting of allies section of International…

 

At this conference a resolution re manifesto was adopted – in which the whole blame of the war was laid on Germany. It contained however some good points – such as no annexation, and no revenge upon the German working class. MacDonald had a big hand in it. Jowett, Anderson and myself opposed it but eventually after long discussion – throats(?) etc – all consented to it save myself. I held out to the last, and only yielded to allow it to pass on the threat of a worse resolution being adopted by majority vote.
