Radical Principles? (1904)

From the September 1904 issue of the Socialist Standard

At the council meeting of the Metropolitan Radical Federation held on Saturday, 20th August, Mr. Herbert Burrows was unanimously appointed delegate to the International Peace Congress at Boston, U.S.A., in September. He will, doubtless, prove an able representative of Radical principles.

    File this one under 'Snippet dripping with sarcasm'.

    In 1904 Burrows was a longstanding leading member of the SPGB's parent organisation, the Social Democratic Federation. In light of the circumstances which had led to the SPGB formation in June 1904, Burrows was seen by the infant SPGB as part of the cabal leading the SDF which had resulted in the latter organisation fully capitulating to reformism.
