He was born in Massachusetts,, which
they think will lure the clannish

Experience of Members."
And then there Is the experience
of the members Of the Joint Com
mittee themselves. Divided into
subcommittee, several members
toured the country following the
adjournment Of Congress last sum-
mer, taking testimony wherever they
could find it, chiefly from the public
grimly engaged in q desperate rear
guard action against prices. Now
they are reporting to the committee
and to their colleagues in the Sen
ate and House on what they learned
and recalling to themselves the
promises they made to do some
thing about the situation. Not all
of them are shouting, with Mr..
Tobey, Damn the torpedoes! Full
speed ahead" Most Of them, like
Messrs. Flanders and Baldwin, are
quietly preparing for action on
measures designed to obtain some
control over prices.
Buttressing this purpose is the
work OF the Joint Committees own
stat1 of economists, q group selected
apparently with as little concern for
partisan politics as was the Presi-
dents council Of advisors. This
staff is turning in reports calcu-
lated to open the eyes Of Congress
members. The first Of these, a re-
port on food prices, production and
consumption, presents the national
situation 80 graphically that any
member reading it is certain to be
convinced that drastic action con-
corning prices cannot be long
delayed.

On orders from Maurice Thorez,

These strikes have already caused
Iincalculable damage by wiping out
almost all the little progress that

The five French premiers who pre-

they regard as extremists but also
as a legal French party. Last

This Changing World
Schuman Seen Out to Force Showdown
With Red.Dominated Unions in France

though 1t had become obvious that
the rash of strikes from which
France was suffering had a political
rather than an economic character.
Mr.. Schuman took over at the 18th
hour. He decided-as he informed
foreign diplomats who discussed the
situation with him-that he would
not tolerate an organization Of about
5000, 900 persons debating to 38,000,-
900 Frenchmen on how they shall
live and how and when to work.
A canvass of the situation among
French labor groups satisfied the
Premier that among the members OF
the General Confederation Of Labor
itself there is a strong dislike for
strikes. He was also convinced that
the confederation members are
compelled to follow Moscow's orders,
transmitted through the Paris head
quarters of the Communist Party,
because in the past they we're not
able to receive any effective protec-
ton from the government against
the Communist strong-arm men.
Showdown Inevitable,
This protection Mr.. Schuman Is
determined to give. According to
reports received In Washington, he
is convinced that a display of force
will put an end to the present
political strikes, aimed at placing
France behind the iron curtain with
out intervention by Moscow's forces.
The French Premier recognizes
that the lot Of French workers Is
not an easy one, but at the same
time is not as bad as that of mil
lions of other Frenchmen. He Is
aware of the need for increasing
wages and for providing essentials OF
life for all at lower prices. But the
present strikes make such task an
absolute impossibility. He also real
ICES that whatever American help
comes in the near future will be OF
no avail so long as the longshore-
men and transportation workers can
nullify it by their walkouts.
On the assurance Of the French
general staff that the men under
arms are not disaffected and will
obey orders, in spite of the casual
infiltration of Communists into the
officers corps, Mr.. Schuman has de-
cided to use the armed forces OF
the country to give effect to this
policy of rehabilitation.
A showdown now appears In
| ovitaI,le Mr. Schllmar1 cannot back
out any longer. The chances OF his
victory depend principally, however
on the international situation and
especially on what will happen in
neighboring Italy, where the Com
munists are much stronger, the
governments forces much weaker

nearby to lend a hand to the 1tal.
