FAVOR LIBERAL PEACE
Principles of Self-Determination of
Peoples and No Annexations for
Hnglnnd f Fs|>ec!ally in Africa ami
India, Quite Satisfactory to Eng
lish Who State They Will Solve
Their Own Problems.
The British Labor party In a mes
sage to the Russian people made
public announced that the British
people accepted the Russian princi
ple of self-determination of peoples
and no annexations for the British
empire, particularly in the Middle
East Africa and India.
The message, which was issued by
the Labor party in conjunction with
the parliamentary committee of the
trades union congress, says:
“We have reached a crisis in the
war. - The negotiations at Brest-Lit-
ovsk have been interrupted because
the Germans have refused to admit
the principle of self^determindtion
of peoples and the doctrine of no
annexations. Jn thus acting the cen
tral powers are speaking clearly In
the name of a militarist state.
“In this crisis the British peo
ple must speak because the Rus-
sisns can only succeed in their great
and perilous task If supported by
the people everywhere. The liritlfth
pr'hple mu»t pr<*Haim to ltu»*#ia and
