On page 2 of the Frankfurter Zeitung, No. 326, is a report, dated 
London, November 18, which runs as follows: 


“At its last meeting the London section of the International passed the following 
resolution: “The outstanding services of Sir Charles Dilke to the people’s cause give 
him the right to recognition by the people; therefore he is invited to accept the title 
of honorary member of the international working men’s union.’ At an earlier 
meeting Kossuth was elected member.” 


The International does not recognise any honorary membership. 
In all probability the above-mentioned decision relates to a small 
London society, which first called itself “The International 
Democratic Association” and later changed its name to the 
“Universal Republican League’”’.”? It has no connection whatsoever 
with the International. 


In the name of the General Council of the International 
Working Men’s Association 
Corresponding Secretary for Germany,
