Once or twice General Dawes has also smoked the Herriot briar he received as a return gift. * Party names mean next to nothing in France. The Socialists, though great mouthers of Marxism, are almost as moderate in practice as Socialist James Ramsay MacDonald. The Radical Socialists, instead of being more radical than the Socialists are in fact only Liberal.
