when Louis Philippe and Lafayette reviewed
the National Guards for the last time together,
Poland was in arms and Warsaw SIN hSlo

armed Intervention of France. Lafayette,
their last hope, favored this enthusiasm,
which he shared in part, but the consequences OF
which his common sense shfank ifom. IN lao'

ficndS, than all the shades Of revolutionary Lloe-
ralism and Radicalisn. have established by the
example Of France and could establish by the
examples OF Germany and Italy IN 1913, that the
elective franchise, whe thcr restricted or universal,
is no sufficient means to realise the idea OF De-
mocracy that such means has even been found
quite ineiiicaciOus and that revolutionary SociR-
lists understand much better the conditions OF Ia
ropean emancipation, when they say that the
mission of France is to give to Europe AFTER the
Social Revolution and by means OF II, the solution
OF the problem Of the organization OF labor Tor
the prol-tares Of both town and country. In
thus stating the question: the TVeoutionar Social
lists start from point, which in my mind IS UNI
exceptionable. They admit that the revolution
in France has been vanqushed at home All abroad

the Consulate and the Empire; abroad by the
two foreign inyaeions, Of 1911 and lSlj and
subsequently again in 1880 and iSiS-on the
one hand because Of the want Of energy IN
the ranks Of revolutionary Liberalism, on
the other because of its retTogade action. And
they attribute tho cause OF these defeats to the
fact, that the problem of the organization IT laoar
