Finally, the combination of Radi- cala and Socialists, which had also the support of the Communists in 1024, has completely broken down. All the seats lost have been lost by the Left. The Radical Socialists have lost 97; tho Republican Bocin- Itata, who are further to the Left, eight; the Socialista, five or six, and the Communistis, 13.
