departing.
The other possibility is for them to
join the opposition, then however they
will become an election party and a
void will be formed as they will have
no chance of rising, the party will be
discouraged, and the really revolution
airy workers will, more than ever, go
over to the Communists.
This is the reason for the vacillat-
! ing, oscillating attitude of the social
list party since the end of May. Their
fraction in parliament which is guild
ing them, and that dictatorially (see
the last national counciD has allowed
it's internal dissensions and it's con-
fusion in all votings since that of May
20, with regard to the Morocco ques-
ton to become evident, on the one
hand by violent disputes in the full
hall Of assembly as at the division
on May 20 for the government (six
refraining from voting), or especially
at the session of June 16, when there
we're two socialist votes for the Com
munists, 50 abstained from voting and
II gave nationalist votes %. Finally
at the last division on July 8 with re-
gard to credits for the Morocco war,
the socialists refrained from voting,
but emphatically declared-thru Blum
that this indicated no lack of con-
/ fidence in the government, and that
they we're opposed to the evacuation
Of Morocco.
Be it remarked that abstaining from
voting is the normal refuge of those
who are too cowardly to take sides.
These persons who reproach the Com
munists with thinking" funk a dis
cussion in which it is a case of pro-
nouncing a clear and consistent opin-
ion on so simple a question as that
Of Morocco.
In recent times there has been talk
Of the formation of cleft" in the So
cialist party which is grouped around
Bracke's periodical. Spark. This epin-
ion has been confirmed by the fact that
our press has published resolutions
against Morocco which were signed
| by the socialist sections. The name
cleft" seems to me incorrect. The
name, however, which was recently
taken by a fraction of the socialist sec
ton Of Beziers, is much more exact:
''resisters." The group Of Spark is
really trying to resist" Renaudel, but
in favor of Bracke. It feels that the
party will be compelled to join the
parliamentary opposition, as Painleve
and BRAND have contemptuously de-
clared that they can do without the
socialists. The financial projects Of
M. Caillaux which have been opposed
to those of M. Vincent Auriol (social-
ist) are evidence of the poor opinion
which the government has Of the so
cialists.
In any case the support OF the So
cialists is Of no use to the government,
indeed in a certain sense il. interferes
with the termination Of the war; they
are therefore turned out Of the major
ity.
The resisters" are therefore trying
to overthrow Renaudel and to replace
him by Bracke and Blum as they fear
that the present tactics of the party
will only bring them the real hostility
OF the working class and still more OF
the reformist trade unions Of the in
dustrial districts and will drive the
workers to the revolutionary trade
unions, to the c. G. r. u, or to the
Communist Party, thus leaving the
socialist party as a handful Of intel
lectuals, functionaries and opportun-
list socialists, which would be equival-
ent to its decease.
If this new formation were a social
list left, if it were Marxist as it claims
TO be, it would not be content to de-
mand peace in general terms, but Il
would have to demand the military
evacuation of the colonies. 1t would
not even have to make these demands
