Newspapers and officials generally
believe that the government will demand
the recall OF Count Luxburg, German

BY John Spargo
Inc socialist movement OF Europe
has produced no finer type of revolu-
tionary Socialist than brave Jules
Guesde, the founder of the MARKHAM
Socialist movement in France. A thor
ough internationalist, Guesde has al
ways stood uncompromising!y for So
cidllsm.
When Premier Ribot announced in
the French Parliament the decision Of
the government not to permit any
French delegates to attend the Inter
national Socialist Congress at Stock
holm there was great outburst of
cheering. Leading the demonstration
Of approval OF the governments course
was the heroic old Socialist, Guesde.
We shall understand this strange
action only if we take into account
what Guesde knew concerning the
Stockholm conference. He knew that
the Stockholm gathering was being
manipulated to serve the base and
treacherous ends of German autocracy.
Sanctioned by Kaiser
Gucsde knew that the Dutch Socialist
leaders, who were so actively promot-
ing the Stockholm conference, were
closely cooperating with the German
imperial government. He knew that
the propaganda in favor of the Stock
holm conference, which was being car
ried on in Russia, was directly ap-
proved by the German authorities. lie
knew that most dangerous revolution
lists" had been granted special facilities
for travelling across Germany to reach
Sweden and Finland, en- route TO
Russia. Knowing these things he could
not escape the conviction that the
Stockholm congress was being used 70
promote the sinister purposes Of the
Hohenzollern dynasty. If Russian,

tion and forming a closer bond between
the United States and Argentina.
The British government has not been
unaware Of Sweden's duplicity, even
since the episode in the early months
of 1915. when definite promises were
given that such things would be
stopped. The actual, definite proofs
furnished by the United States were
welcomed here with elation.
II is believed that President Wilson
knew of the intrigue FOR a considerable
time, but regarded that while there was
any hope from Russia 1t was undesir-
able to drag Sweden into the war, or
even furnish her with an excuse for
declaring war. because Of the tremen-
dous influence she exercised in Finland
and the damage she cou-c cause IN that
direction. There is still the question
Of communication between Great Brit
tain and Russia, which as soon as Arch
angel becomes frozen in can only be
carried on through Sweden.
There il no reason to believe tnat
the present episode will be made a
casus bclh, though technically il is
such.
There is no indication that Count
WranCle was implicated in any part Of
the intrigue. For one thing, he has
been somewhat sidetracked OF late, and
shelved from participation in Swedish
foreign affairs, and he vas probably
ignorant OF his governments treachery.
SO far he has declined 10 make any
comment beyond expressing surprise
at the readiness with which the press
here is inclined 20 attack Sweden with
out waiting to hear her side of the
case.
The public attitude here is that Swe-
den must definitely answer certain
charges whereof indubitablc proof has
been furnished TO the whole world. The
evening papers of London follow the
tone of the morning press, insisting on
immediate explanation. The reve.a-
tons Of secret diplomacy in interna-
tionnl negotiations of the last Few
weeks have aroused tremendous curiCs-
ity, and people everywhere are wonder
ing what will be the next disclosure.
