	Foundation of the British Socialist Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Socialists who are more anxious to join with non-socialists and sometimes anti-socialists than with fellows of kindred opinions have a strangely distorted point of view.
		The socialist movement, composed as it is largely of trade unionists, can just as effectively convert the membership of the unions whilst retaining its separate identity as when definitely allied.
		I think it would be wise, then, for the secretary of the SDC to get into touch with all new branches of the British Socialist Party, and arrange for an informal conference during the New Year at Glasgow.
