Only Two Political Parties

There are now but two political rorties in Czechoslovakia, the rightists represented by the Czech National Party and the lo who are trying to form a National Labour Pariy.

The Fascist group headed by General Rudolph Gajda reached a decision today to join the National Party, and the Catholic Party, to date wishing to remain independent, split in two and the majority came over to the National Party also. A smaller group of the Catholics remains faithful to the leader, Mgr. Sramek, however, and stay out of the National Party.

In the rightist combine of groups there are now the Fascists, Agrarian Republicans, Social Nationalists, Artisans, Catholics, National Unionists and the National League party. In the leftist side there are the Social Democrats who wish to form a Labour Party with elements of the banned Communist Party.—Havas,
