PAGE TWENTY- TWO THE DAILY VIMES-GAZETTE THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 950 COMMIES KEEP BUSY IN FRANCE Communist-inspired and Com- munist-directed unrest of a fairly serious nature has been spreading throughout France recently, relates French Information Service. On this occasion, the: Communist Party slogan is "Oppose by every means the manufacture and transport of war material." Officially, the aim of this cam- paign is to defend peace. In real- ity is has a very different end in view. A double objective is en- visaged: on the one hand the Com- munists want to prevent France from defending her positions in Indo-China by stopping the sup- ply of arms and munitions to French soldiers who are fighting Ho-Chi Minh's Communist bands; on the other hand, they want to hinder and disorganize the next consignments of war material from the United States, sent to France under the military aid program. Weaker in West The greater the difficulties creat- ed for France in Indo-China, the bloodier and more costly must be the sacrifices she will have to make to maintain herself there, and the less she will in consequence be able to do toward western defence. Inversely, the more the mechanism of western defence is thrown out of gear, by hindering the regular ar- rival of American supplies, the more difficult it will be to arm French metropolitan troops from this material, and consequently the less French material, with which these troops are equipped, will be able to go to the troops in Indo- China. Such is the calculation which inspires this double ma- noeuvre. Thus it i$ explained at one and the same time, on the international level, Moscow's recognition of Ho- Chi-Minh, designed to create in Indo-China a supurating wound which will sap French energy; on the domestic level in France, the many Communist-provoked inci- dents aimed at impeding the trans- port or loading of war material. Onus on Government The government headed by Georges Bidault cannot but react. To tolerate such plots would have been tantamount to acknowledging the fall of the state, and would have given valuable encouragement to the instigators of the disorder. Strong measures were therefore taken to restrict any act of violence or sabotage, to punish any infrac- tion of the statute by employees working in the arsenals and to as- sure everywhere and at all times the freedom to work. These measures have the back- ing of the large majority of the French people. This became appar- ent during the strikes which the Communists tried to instigate in the railways and coal yards of the north; trains ran normally and only 25 percent of the miners fol- lowed the strike order. This proves the good sense of the working masses who will not let themselves be dragged into political struggles which have nothing to do with professional demands. It is also the proof that Communist propa- ganda does not succeed in taint- ing a country whose morale is healthy, and which understands that democracy will give way to dictatorship on the day when a minority is permitted to make laws against the expressed wishes of Parliament. Finally, it gives the assurance that, today as yesterday, the government can keep order, and that if, when the American mili- tary aid program comes into opera- tion, the Communists persist, their defeat is assured in advance.
