 PARIS, Jan 10.-The attempt of
 Nicholas Lenine, Soviet Premier of
 Russia, to rule and unite the So- cialists of the world and control their. policies through the opera
 tions of the Third Internationale of
 Moscow is to be contested by the
 central party, or faction. of Social ] ists. This party occupies a middle
 position between the extreme right, or omedate faction, of Socialists and | extreme left, or radical faction. It
 was iu order to organize their forces into a Fourth Internationale that a
 meeting of the Centrist Socialists ] of >the world has been called in , Vienna February P next.
 The Center Socialists are\ e\dissatis- fled with both the Second Interna- itionale and the Third Internationale i of Lenine, leaders of that faction scy. Joseph Gollomb, who claims to have represented the Socialist Party of America at a meeting in Berne, Switzerland, December 5, which called a meeting at Vienna next February to form the pro-
 posed Fourth Internationale, de- clares that the Socialists of the i world have become impatient at the conduct of Lenines Third Interna-
 tionale of Moscow The Russian or

 itself chiefly to splitting the forces of Socialism and of the workers" Socialists Splitting.
 1 "Dominated by the chiefs of the 1 Communist Party of Russia, Col lomb alleges, "the Third Interna-
 tionale is trying to force on other
 countries a program. temper and i tactics, which whether good for
 Russia, or not, takes no account ot
 differences of conditions throughout Ithe world. Those Socialists who do not accept to the letter their ukases are denounced as traitors. The Third
 Internationale is splitting Socialist

 proved and, by dividing the trade 1 unlOn InON eElenJ, SOWS hdtlCu bS tween worker and worker
 ! Gollomb contends that both the | Second Internationale which existed
 before the world war and the Third Intcrnationale are mainly negative
 in character and effect The mem i bers of the Second lnternationale,
 he says, have so limited, comprom ! ised and forgotten the principles 1 of Socialism that there is nothing l left of them. As the conference al
 Berne pointed out, they abandoned i the workers during the wor and, by participating in capitalist cabinets
 and coalitions, they have bent all
 their energies toward patching the
 present system instead of building a new one.
 No Satisfactory Body.
 I Socialists want an adequate m i ternationale organization to marsha
 all their forces and to carry out
 positive upbuilding program. A I present there is no satisfactory or
 ganiZation.'
 l Gollomb declares that fundment ! ally. Socialism is construct1v'
 movement and that the negative at I titude of the Second and Third In | ternationale, does not meet thell need today and the result has beer : general dissatisfaction with both 0 them. He asserts that more thar S,50O,OO0 voting Socialists were rep : resented at the Berne conference . which has called the meeting il Vienna and that most of the dele gates at Berne have been represen tative figures in international So cialism for years.
 The delegates of the Socialis Party of America were delayed II arriving, but Gollomb says the part, had declared itself officially in favo of the action taken at Berne. Tn German Independents were repre- sented by Ledebour, Crispien an others, while Jean Longuet and Pau Faure represented the Socialists o France. Socialists of Austria an Switzerland also were reprcsente at Berne.
 The possible formation of Fourth Internationale is a matte for the Vienna Congress to decide, l adds GoIlomb. but the outlook that this gathering will become tn | center of gravity for the Socialist and working class movemen l throughout the world"
