he heroic struggle of the Al-
gerian people for their na-
tional independence occupies
the spot light in the world
arena,

As a service to its readers,
the Pacific Tribune reprints
some excerpts from a timely
article by Larbi Buhali, First
Secretary of the Algerian Com-
munist Party.

“Although de Gaulle has

been forced into important poli-|

tical retreats, which are con-
versely successes for the Al-
gerian people’s struggle, he has}
not yet lost hope of imposing
the neo-colonialist solution de-
manded by his masters, the
French monopolists. This ex-
plains the ambiguity of his
remarks and the flagrant con-
tradiction between his actions
and his speeches.

“Ever since 1954.armed-strug-|.

gle has been for our people the
main form of winning their in-
dependence... Despite. seven
years of war and the terrible
trials endured by our people,
their heroic struggle, far from
growing weaker as the enemy
claims, is on the contrary ex-
periencing a real surge for-
ward. It is no exaggeration to
say that the struggle of the Al-
gerian people has entered a
new and decisive stage.

educated by tneir own strug-
gles, have come to see _ that
