Detroit, Mich, June 14.-Whether
socialism is to retain its present
program and identity or be amalaga-
mated with sovietism or communism
is one of the issues which the social
ist national convention, set for June
25 here, will be called upon to decide
Under the "agenda" system Of vo-
ting, adopted by the socialists for the
first time this year, all motions pro-
posed for submission to the conven-
ton must be circularized in advance
among the membership of the party
for assimilation and discussion. Any
faction or group within the party
however small and unrepresentative
may submit such a tentative motion
for inclusion in the agenda with the
district understanding however, that
this procedure carries with it abso-
lutely no endorsement of sanction
for the proposal by the committee
who makes up the agenda.
