the essential element Of the
Radical social revolution" and, TAX
n++oro,.a ing this for his text, he con-
cluded that 1T was neces-
sary to let it accomplish its work of dis
organization up to the moment when the
socialists become the masters by a parallel
action OF all political powers. It would then
remain only to decree the Specialization of
property and to break the last resistance -
Direct action. naturalization and anti
patriotism were for Citizen Valiant the
means to be employed to accomplish the
objects of socialism. The Temps, in alarm,
says Of this declaration:
But what has occurred at Nancy should
at least serve as rude attack upon the
optimism Of government. What will 1t do
when, with the law OF 1884 in hand, gov
eminent may be asked to put a stop to the
manifestly incendiary action Of the C. G.

Such language by the Temps. it Is per-
fectly understood in France, is evidence Of
the disavowal by government Of it's opti-
mism. The Temps being essentially gov

It means to oppose the socialism of the
valiant type, and will look for support in
some other coalition of parties.
The international socialist congress at
Nancy was succeeded by the seventh in
terna tional socialist congress at Stuttgart
posed from twenty-eight nationalities. OF
these 1t is remarked there were 125 Brit
ish. 11S of whom were regular socialists,
and seven were members of trades unions.
The congress was suspicious of these: in
deed, they should subscribe to what Is
termed class struggle" with all that i'm
plies. The fact is, the organization which
discussed these questions at Brussels in
1891, at Zurich in 1888 and London in 1896.
and Just now at Nancy, has progressed
and favors in principle direct action as
recommended by Valiant
The questions discussed at Stuttgart were
militarism and international conflicts, the
relations between political parties, social
lists and syndicates. women suffrage. the CO.
lonial question, emigration and immigra
ton OF the labor class, and antimili-
tarism.
A certain socialist Of mark, referring to
the latter question, said: "Antimilitarism
