To those who imagine that Bolshevism is making progress in France, I may commend the reports of the Communist Congress which has just taken place in Paris. The French communists are not only dwindling rapidly in numbers, but are also divided among themselves. Many are communists only in name and are not prepared to "go the whole hog." One of the largest sections believes in unhesitating adherence to the Third International, which means that the French communists would be pure and simple Bolsheviks, acting under orders from Moscow, Which are transmitted through a certain Boris Souvarime, commonly known as the "Eye of Moscow." The French members of the party were treated with scant ceremony at the congress by Souvarine and another Bolshevik, 2 Cossack from the Ukraine, named Malinowsky. Not one of the French delegates ventured to point out the absurdity of revolutionary doctrine being preached ex cathedra by newly enfranchised Russian neophytes in the capital of the country which Jong agg created what may be less appearances are very deceptive, the present-day French communist is a much less formidable person than his ancestor of 1871. He revels in speeches, but one cannot imagine him with a red cap and a rifle.
