nReanect for treaties and the sover-
eisnty of the Sultan!" ian inslgnlh-
can't nuppet of the French govern
mentl to carry on war against the
riffs. 1t could not have been other
wise When among the most import
ant members of ministry there are
men such as BRAND, an upstart adven-
turer, Cai1aux, typical banker,
Schrameck. a born policeman and
Steeg. a STAKEHOLDER. the hand oil
capital does not need to pull the wires
very firmly with which it controls its
marionettes, in order to guide them as
il desires; breath is sufficient.
Every bourgeois government OF this
country feels itself compelled to de-
strOy the Riffs by military means and
by the blockade, for the following
chief reasons:
1. The greed of the banks desires at
last to "bestow peace"-as they call
ton Morocco. so that they can ex-
ploit It to their hearts content.
2. The free Republic of the RIMS
womb spur on all the oppressed
Arabian peoples of North Africa,
Morocco and Tunis to a revolutionary
fight for freedom. This however would
be fearful blow to imperialism, es-
pecially to the French.
This is why the bourgeois govern
ment felt compelled at moment
notice to carry on war to the end.
The leaders of the socialist party
Including Blum, Renaudel, Bedouce)
who really belong to the left wing OF
the bourgeoisie, have Joined in.
The attitude of the socialists was
dictated by their anxiety to remain a
government party. Why? Because
since May II, 1924, the socialist party
Is. FL. o. has, with almost incred-
ible rapidity, drawn close to the bour-
geoisie.
When it became a government
party, it attracted large number OF
electors of the cartel who took their
cards of membership not out of en-
thusiasm for the socialist party, but
to innsure for themselves the protec-
ton of the mighty ones of the day. In
numerous communities it has absorb
ed those radical" elements, which
form a number of election committees,
but no party. Many young lawyers
and young doctors with a brilliant fu-
ture" have joined the party and, in
the majority of the socialist PROVING
ial sections, a brilliant" general stan
discusses policy from the point of
view of merchants, which has nothing
at. all in common with the empty and
unfortunately long discussions of old
Guesde who only began to realize the
seriousness of the times in the fire OF
war" (These are the words of a
young and brilliant" advocate of the
socialist party. AS early as ten
months ago-on the occasion of vot-
ing with regard to the secret funds
this development became clear in the
eyes of those who are less informed.
Today it alarms even the old socialists
to such degree that one of them ION
June II in a lefet of the S. F. |. o.
writes as follows:
ct (the S. F. I. o. is assuming
more and more the aspect Of bour-
geois democrat party of the left"
A dreadful saying, for it takes up
again Zionviev's thesis, about which
there was such a hue and cry years
ago and according to. which social
democracy is classified as belonging to
the left of the hourgeoisie and not to
the right of the proletariat. GA pro-
posal that party comrade Of Renaudel
may have been accused by Renaudel
of having sold himself to Moscow
The socialist leaders are in a'dillem-
MA from which they see no issue.
The one possibility is for them to
continue to support the government;
in this case they risk losing their last
labor elements which will go over to
the Communists. Renaudel does not
seem to mind very much, as he
