Chinese armies enter Tibet

Carrying out a pledge to complete the liberation of China by
freeing Tibet and Taiwan (Formosa), Chinese People’s armies have
entered Tibet (1) and unconfirmed reports place advanced troops as
being within 150 miles of Lhasa, the capital. Peking radio’ declared
that influences hostile to the New China, were being exerted to
prevent peaceful occupation of Tibet. To the south of China, in
Viet-Nam (2), invaidng French troops continued their retreat be-
fore a Vietnamiese offensive which has already driven them from

border strongholds.

‘Right to work’

clause repudiated -

by French gov't

NEW YORK

The French government, in an official report to the UN Economic
and Social Council, states that it regards as meaningless the preamble
to its own constitution which “‘solemnly proclaims the nght of everyone

to obtain employment.”

This right was written 4
France was freed from the Nazis,
by the labor groups which played
Such an important part in the liber-
ation. It then meant what it said,
that every worker should be guar-
anteed a job.

The French report to the Eco-
nomic and Social Council, how-
ever, says the government now

Considers that “these affirmations
‘state an individual right rather
than a principle of political eco-
nomy.” In other words, the work-
er has a right to look for a job
but the government has no obli-
gation to run the economy in such
& way as to provide a job. An
“individual right” of this kind, of
Course, is no right at all.

The report admits that article 25
of the constitution “mentions” a
“national economic plan for full
employment.” But on the question
of government ‘action to implement
this provision, it admits further
that the constitution has been vio-
lated because only “measures to
Counteract local or temporary dif-
ficulties were adopted.” As for a
full employment plan, the only
thing it has to show is a “bill to be
discussed by Parliament in the near
future,” although five years have
Passed since the constitution came
into effect.

Unemployment benefits in France
are extremely low, the government
admits. The report lists those paid
in Paris as 48¢ a day for the bread-
winner and 28¢ for each dependent.
In villages of under $000 inhabi-
tants, the rate is much lower: 23¢
for the worker and 2le for each
dependent, -

British profits,

LONDON

Under the “socialist” policies of
the Labor government, British big
business is making record profits.

During the three-month, period
ending September this year gross
profits of 586 companies increased
from 271 million pounds ($1,084
million) to 290 million pounds

($1,160 million).

According to the 1948-49 annual
report of the commissioner for in-
land revenue, which has just been
published, there are 85 persons in
Britain enjoying an income of more
than 6,000 pounds ($24,000) a year,

‘as compared to 70 such persons

in the year 1947-48.

The number of persons whose
income is between 4,000 pounds
($16,000) and 6,000 ‘pounds ($24,-
000) a year has risen from 3,430 to
5,264 in the year covered by the
report. ;

The other face of British “so-
cialism” is revealed by figures
showing that there are 1,113,000
people whose earnings are between
£2/10/- and 3 pounds ($10--13) a
week, and 8,500,000 people whose
earnings range from 8 to 5 pounds
($12-$20) a week.

Unity of Germany on

democratic foundation

key to peace in Europe

The unity of Germany on a democratic fo undation is the key to maintaining peace in
Europe, in the view of Deputy Prime Minister Walter Ulbricht of the German Democratic
Republic, “There is no doubt that the America ns can wage war in Europe only if they can
win over the majority of the population of West Germany,” Ulbricht stated in a recent inter-

view here. ~

Ulbricht pointed out that for the
successful defense of peace, it was
necessary to know who was threat-
ening it.

“If the Americans and British
want to blow up rocks on the
Rhine, if they are mining bridges
over the Rhine, and if the Ameri-
can and British military advisers
assist in organizing a German mer-
cenary army intended for war in
the interests of American big busi-
ness, it is quite clear who is threat-
ening peace,” he declared.

To maintain peace it was neces-
sary to reestablish the unity of
Germany on a democratic basis, for
as long as the warmongers were
free to pursue their activities in
West Germany it was impossible
to speak of peace, said Ulbricht.

To achieve the unity of Germany,

‘he continued, it was necessary to

prevent a division being created in
the life of the German nation.
The proposal of the German De-
mocratic Republic was to increase
inter-zonal trade by 1,000 million
marks, and this, Ulbricht stated,
would serve the interests of Ger-
man unity. Opposition to such ex-
tension of inter-zonal trade on the
part of Adenauer (West German
chancellor) and Schumacher (Soci-
alist leader) could only be constru-
ed as evidence of their desire to

‘| decrease West German trade and

so force acceptance of
arms orders. .

Ulbricht termed the demand of
the U.S., Britain and France for
all-German elections “a fraudulent
maneuver.”

“The American, . British. -and
French imperialists want to pose
as supporters of a united Get-
many,” he stated. “That is why
they call for all-German elections.
But how can one speak of free
elections if there is not even a mini-
mum of freedom for the progres-
sive forces of West Germany, if
fighters for peace are banned and
German youth are not even allow-
ed to sing songs of peace and
freedom?”

To re-establish German unity on
a democratic basis, Ulbricht said,
all peace-loving and patriotic forces
in West Germany must be won for
the National Front of Democratic
Germany.

“These forces must develop a
nation-wide resistance which will
sweep away Adenauer’s puppet re-
gime and help to bring about the
victory of democracy in West Ger-
many.”

Charge that the United States is

organizing a network of espionage

activities directed against the

People’s Republic of China is made

here in reports carried by the New
China News Agency.

The reports state that the espion-
age network stretches from Japan
to India and is directed from cen-
ters at Tokyo, Hongkong and Tai-
wan (Formosa).

Stating that the wider espionage
network now being organized is an
extension of the American organ-
ization already established in Jap-
an, the reports charge that spies
and saboteurs are being recruited
from Japanese war criminals, Chin-
€se traitors who collaborated with
Japan during the war and Kuomin-
tang elements on Taiwan. .

Under the direction of W. T.
Donovan of the American intelli-
gence, U.S. diplomatic and intelli-
gence personnel evacuated from
China® aré“~now béing posted to
countries bordering China to direct
esponage against the Chnese peo-
ple’s government.

In November, 1949, it s revealed,
Cheng Kai-min, chief of the Kuom-
intang secret service, flew to the

‘| U.S. to discuss re-establishment of

a Sino-American intelligence organ-
ization which is now supplying the
U.S. with information.

On his return to the Far East,
Cheng Kai-min set up centers for
this organization at Hongkong and
in the Philippines.

Training centers for spies have
been established on Taiwan, in
Japan, the Philippines and Korea,
from which agents are sent to such
centers as Hongkong, Saigon,
Bangkok and New Delhi.

NEW FRUIT DEVELOPED

Hungary grows citrus

One day Hungarians will be able to buy lemons grown in their
own country. Under Dr. Mihaly Farago, the agricultural research —
center at Esterhaza is now engaged in acclimatising citrus trees

to Hungarian conditions.

. Dr. Farago claims that it is possible to grow lemons in Hun-
gary, despite the cold winters. Four years ago trees were brought
from Italy. They were planted in ditches
and covered with glass in winter.

The trees are being crossed with various types of frost-resist-
plants to adapt them to the Hungarian climate.
Satisfactory results have been obtained by
triolate with ordinary citrus trees. Ii is planned also to acclimatise
both tangarine and orange trees in the same manner.

It is hoped that, by the end of 1954, 280 acres near Lake Balaton,
in Transdanubia, will be planted with lemon trees. It is already
known that as a result of research by the Soviet scientists Mitch-
urin and Lysenko, lemons are grown in climates colder than that

of Hungary.

_ The Esterhaza Research Institute is also growing a new Hun-
garian fruit, the raspberry-strawberry. The result of experiments
by Professor Porpaczi, the fruit, about the size of a small lemon,

grows on bushes six feet high.
