The Communist elements in
France strongly supported, and
probably instigated, the recent mill.
taristic adventure in Syria which de-
veloped into shooting war" of
serious proportions before superior
British forces brought about an en-.
forced pacification.
The same Communist elements
were plainly responsible for the as.
sault upon the Spanish repatriates,
and for the consequent bristling
show of arms on the French Spanish
border.
They did not succeed in provok-
ing war in Syria, at least for the
moment.
It is to be hoped they will not
succeed in provoking war with
Spain.
But apparently if they cannot
provoke war in one place they are
determined to do so in another place.
before France again follows the
Il bloody path to war, along which
Communist violence and incitation
will surely lead her. let her remem-
ber the red flags raised by her naval
mutineers and the previous bolshevi.

tries.
These were the elements in her
life which prostrated France in de-
feat and grief and shame.
should realize that they

Detroit evening times., 1945-07-07

It has been one of the most amaz.
ing and puzzling examples ofegis-
fative inertia on record.
Hardly anybody ever OPPOSED
the proposition openly or vigorously.
No reasonable argument was ever
offered against it.
But for all those twenty long
years, one Congress after another let
the matter inger in committee until
it died.
And for all those twenty years,
of course, the thousands of postal
workers and their families struggled
along on pay scale that was not
only less than they deserved but
tragically less than their actual
needs.
In the light of this record, it is
not just pay increase that has been
granted.
1t is JUSTICE that has been
done.
The Hearst newspapers not only
commend Congress for its awaken
ing, after so long time, to its clear
duty.
They congratulate the postal
workers of the United States for
their attainment after this long time
of the better standard of living to
which they are entitled-and for
maintaining throughout all those diff
ficult years the high standards Of
the American postal service, despite
the discrimination and neglect so
long practiced against them.
Detroit evening times., 1945-07-07

THE already muddy waters of
l. European international relation
ships have been further beclouded
by the violent assault of a French
mob upon a Spanish repatriation
train.
The incident occurred when a
train bearing 500 repatriated Span
ish workers and diplomats from
Germany to Spain was attacked in
a French town-injuries to l83 per
sons resulting, many of them fatal,
according to Spanish sources; French
sources confirming the injuries but
denying the deaths.
Such an expedition presumably
had safe conduct pledges for which
the French government was respon.
sible, and in any event it was inoffen.
sive and harmless to France and was
entitled to safe passage.
However, Communist elements in
France had spread reports that the
repatriates were members of the
Spanish "blue division" which had
fought against the Russians; and the
French populace was thus melted to
mob violence
THIS follows too closely upon the
l. bloody Syrian incident, and is too
faithful to the pattern of violence
and Communist incitation infuenc.
ing French policy, to be merely CO.
incidental.
Unless France is to be Judged by.
and held to account for, the violence
and other excesses of her Communist
elements, the French h government
will do well to anticipate and pre-
vent them.
