Where are you? In the clouds with notions that you are the master race?” The Russian delegate reminded the Americans: “You did not win a victory. You were unable to push the North Koreans back to the mountains and starve them to death, as Syngman Rhee threatened for three and a half years, though you inflicted all the punishment your military machine could inflict.” Workers end strike in France By PETER FRYER ; PARIS The greatest’ strike movement that the world has seen since the end. of the war is drawing to a close. | Unbeaten, unbroken, confident of a new upsurge of the movement in the near future, the French workers are returning to their factories, mills and pits. + Although they have not yet won their immediate demands—for the withdrawal of the Laniel poverty decrees and for higher wages— they have in the past three weeks forged an amazing nation-wide uni- ty. And it is to safeguard that unity against the treason of the right wing union leaders that the CGT unions are asking their members to return to work together. Hundreds of thousands of the strikers have taken the decision to go back with the utmost reluc- tance. But one and all recognize that itis a question of preserving work- ing class unity im readiness for the new battles that lie ahead. In all the important industries : ‘ of France it would be perfectly easy to carry on the fight; at least 70 percent of the workers would be willing to do so. The wiser course is, therefore, to return to work; to strengthen rank-and-file unity in the coming months; to win over the Socialist- led and Catholic-led workers, who have been deeply troubled by the “i treachery of their leaders; to build ; up the thousands of action com- mittees; and to prepare for new, powerful actions.
