Such a seeker would soon come up against a theory which was advanced some two years ago in an effort to put the finger on the reason for Republication mis government from 1931 to 1936. (We must except, of course, the palmy days of Senior Leroux's administration.) This theory ascribed the weakness of the Socialists control over the political situation to the fact that the Parliamentary leaders and those behind them were not experienced and practical politicians but mere idealists, influenced by and including in their number, writers and intellectuals of leftist tendencies, and ipso facto, devoid of what has been exquisitely termed "le tact des choses possibles."

Once again let us leave to our Seeker the question of mis government and turn the spotlight on to these a fore-mentioned writers and Intellectuals. The point we wish to make in this article is that for the last 40 years. Spanish writers have been labouring to bring into being a democratic republican form of government, and that these writers are not professional propagandists but the front rank men of letters whose words enjoy a world reputation.
