2. The delegates of the International Working Men's Congress declare that the League of Peace and Liberty has no raison d'etre in the presence of the efforts of the International Working Men's Association, and invite the members of that League to enter the different sections of the International Working Men's Association in their respective countries.
Resolution passed by the German
Delegates.
"We, the German delegates at the International Working Men's Congress at Brussels, recommend to the working men of all countries the work of Karl Marx: "Das Kapital," published last year, and urge upon them the desirability of endeavouring to cause that important work to be translated into those languages into which it has not yet been translated. Marx has the inestimable merit of being the first political economist who has scientifically analysed capital and dissolved it into its component parts."
The Statistical Inquiry into the Situation
of the Working Classes.
Appeal of the General Council at London to the Workmen of
Europe and America.
Various causes, over which the council had no control, have hitherto prevented the completion of the statistical inquiry, but it is by no means abandoned. On the contrary its necessity and importance become more manifest every day, and the council counts upon the fraternal co-operation of the leaders of the working class to bring the undertaking to a successful issue on an early day.
