A Socialist Government in Denmark

In Denmark, after the complete bankruptcy, and even personal discrediting, of the government of the National Liberals and Radicals, the new elections gave the socialists a majority in parliament, admittedly a small one (2 votes), and the king was compelled to charge the well-known Danish socialist Stauning with forming a cabinet. It is very interesting for us that Denmark, like Belarus, is a land that is almost exclusively peasant, and this trust of the peasantry in a socialist, Marxist party is a quite new phenomenon, a significant sign of the times.

The new prime minister has declared that his programme consists of a few words: through democracy to socialism. Foremost are the matters of raising the well-being of the working masses and the productivity of the country.
