aiding possibility Of an even
graver industrial crisis, the So
cialist government of Premier
Leon Blum today announced it
would use force If necessary to
break the Occupation strikes
which have partially paralyZed
French business.
The announcement, made by
Roger Salengro, minister of the
interior, marked a direct about
face from the governments
earlier stand.
Force Last Resort
In an attempt to avert any
immediate crisis, Salengro gave
the workers of troubled France
the governments word that force
would be used only if all other
means failed.
But Communists. responsible
for the Occupation strikes" which
have occurred along with the
mushroom growth of Red agitation
following Blum'S designation as
Premier, have made clear they
will not tolerate forceful opposition
to such workers demonstrations.
In his nnouncement, Salengro
declared uniformed guardians of
the law will be pressed into service
to break the strikes, If persuasion
fails hl1t he insisted thew will 90
into action unarmed.
Reds Issue Threat
Whether this absence of bayo
nets will be sufficient to make the
Communists feel they are not being
"dragooned" is problematical. In
a fiery ultimatum, the Communists
warned Blum they would over
throw the cabinet unless the
strikes were condoned by the gov
eminent, which came into office
as a so-called Popular Front"
regime pledged to ameliorate labor
conditions.
There was no question in the
minds of observers but that Salem.
gro'S announcement paved the
way for a crucial period ahead.
The Communists apparently are
determined to resist any forceful
measures, and unless the workers
show themselves Singularly suS-
ceptible to oratorical persuasion,
clashes appear inevitable.
