With regard to the Conference’s resolution on politics,* I am 
pleased to announce that the Spanish federation has fully accepted 
it, as can be seen from the latest issues of the Emancipacion of 
Madrid and the Federacion of Barcelona (December 3).° The 
transformation of the International in Spain into a distinct and 
independent political party is now secure. We are doing wonder- 
fully in Spain: from 19 to 20,000 new members in under three 
months! In Denmark the International has only been in existence 
for three months and it has 2,000 members in the capital alone, a 
smaller city than Milan. The peasants are joining in large numbers 
too, and a big campaign is being prepared for the forthcoming 
elections, which promise to give us a strong and respectable 
representation in the Danish Parliament. 

We are doing well in Germany and Holland. In France we have 
26 newspapers and the sections are re-forming behind M. Thiers’ 
back.
