...socialists and communists. The last riots on the boulevards were the preliminaries to a real bout. The parties involved have had a taste of direct action; they will be anxious to rectify their tactical mistakes and recapture lost opportunities. And in the end, when France is psychologically ready to regain her place at the head of Europe, her attitude will be, barring the intervention of Providence, vastly more dangerous to the peace of the Continent than was even her semi-hysterical desire for Security...
