The New School organized a series of conferences in with the title “ The Catalan Problem .” In the PSOE the question of Catalonia was already being posed in a clearer way given the rise of Catalanism becoming more and more favorable every day towards the approach of a reform aimed at decentralization as an alternative. But the socialists were also very concerned about the situation of their reality in Catalonia in the need to strengthen the Catalan Socialist Federation. Among the speakers there were not only socialists. At the Escuela Nueva prominent people who were knowledgeable about the topics were always sought for their lecture courses so it must have been necessary to have a qualified representative of Catalanism.
Thus Cambó leader of the Lliga was invited . His conference was full in our opinion of winks towards the socialists an interesting aspect of study. There was one year left before the crisis of occurred and the convocation of the Assembly of Parliamentarians CXB Directory in Barcelona. And the times would come when conservative Catalanism collaborated with the Restoration system. The leaders of this movement Catalanism were very interested in Catalonia having many factories and wealth because its members were convinced that ideals flourished better in rich countries. Cambó gave the conference on July at the Casa del Pueblo. Apparently the main hall was filled to listen to who El Socialista described as the head of the Catalan regionalists.
The Catalan politician began by stating that only nationalists and socialists were the only ones who represented “an affirmation” in Spain. Then he wanted to make three points clear: that the Catalans were not superior to anyone but that Catalonia had different features from the rest of Spain and that the question of Catalonia had nothing to do finally with the interests of the bourgeoisie. The last statement served him at the conference to try to seek socialist complicity since he began to talk about strikes and social conflicts but without criticizing them something that is still surprising coming precisely from a representative of the Catalan bourgeoisie.
