The basic source of materials for this analysis was provided by „La Revue Socialiste" (theoretical organ of the French Section of the International Socialist Movement) presenting not only publicistic materials but also articles prepared by the Group of Doctrinal Studies (Groupe d'Etudes Doctrinales), and programme enunciations. The author discusses different trends in the discussion on the doctrine of the French Section of the International Socialist Movement to confront them next with draft projects of programmes for 1959— 1960 and with the fundamental programme from 1962. These comparisons are supplemented by a brief analysis of the Declaration of Principles of the French Section of the International Socialist Movement from 1946. The article deals mainly with the programme assumptions of the French socialists (the positive idea of socialism) and their views on developmental trends of the capitalist system in the contemporary era. Its final fragments are devoted to the discussion of the French socialists opinions on economic structures of the really existing socialism and on the international economic relations as a factor of the socialism development on the world scale.
