party acceptance of Daladier's offer of
equality between the Radical Socialists
and Socialists in respect Of number
of portfolios In the projected new cabi-
net, but it was noted that most of the
prominent Socialist leaders. including
Leon Blum, Paul Faure and Vincent
Auriol, opposed such acceptance.
You see, the Socialists proper are the
genuine, rip-snorting article. Except
for their participation in the govern
ment of national union during the war
they have never. if my memory serves
me, deviated from their principle of
non-participation in a minor capacity
In any government land they have
never achieved the power. They have
held, and plausibly enough. that their
chief hope of achieving unquestioned
power lay in uncompromisingness. They
might share the government with other
groups protesting leftward doctrines,
but they must dominate such a govern
ment. For they are the only true So
cialists. The Radical Socialists are not
really Socialists at all, but what in Eng
land would be called advanced Liberals;
and the minor Left groups above mem
toned are Liberals still less advanced.
