POLITICAL SENSATION
M. BLUM’S WARLIKE SPEECH -NO MORE CONCESSIONS’* DEFENCE AGAINST AGGRESSION (United Press Assn.—Elec. TeL Copyright) (Received Dec. 27, 3.45 p.m.) PARIS, Dec. 26 M. Blum caused a sensation at a Socialist Congress at Montrouge in a two-hour speech, in which he brushed aside the traditional Socialist peace ideals and advocated a national policy in a manner that could be expected from a Right-winger. He proposed a resolution urging no more concessions to the totalitarian States, and committing the Socialist Party fully and without reserve to national defence against any aggression threatening the integrity of its territory, the fullness of* its sovereignty and its political independence. The motion declared that if the nation had to choose between servitude and war the Socialist Party would not advise servitude. M. Paufaure has a counter motion favouring a continuance of the Munich policy. The discussion will be continued to-morrow.
