FRENCH SOCIALISTS

CONFIDENCE IN BLUM WARNING AGAINST FASCISM WORK FOR NEW SYSTEM Cnitcd rross Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received June 1, 1.45 p.m.) PARIS, May 31. The National Socialist Congress unanimously passed a vote of confidence in M. Blum after hearing's speech in which he delivered a - warning against Fascism and said that the Socialist Utopia could not be expected yet. He added that the working class must realise the impossibility of dissociating class action from political action, though it was natural that, following a long period of misery, the proletariat should manifest impatience when it seized power. Nevertheless, all its movements must be controlled by the trade unions. The new Government would not be a Kerensky Government, but even if it were, no Lenin would succeed it. The programme of the Popular Front, including the Radicals, would be executed. Fascism was on the watch. Its aim everywhere had been to t destroy the workers' associations and subordinate them to Capitalism. The present regime could not utilisfe scientific and economic developments for the general good. His party must continue its own mission by constructing a new system. If he failed he would be the first to tell his followers it was a chimera and a vain dream. Even so, the party would be hit only temporarily. The truth of Socialism would not be affected. France's voice would be heard throughout the world with increased power in support of peace, complete, indivisible, and disarmed.
