This Changing World
Bidault Is Likely to Succeed Ramadier
If France Faces Showdown With Reds

come the tool Of Moscow-like
Yugoslavia and Poland-if she
throws her lot with Russia. More
over. the latest reports from France
show that the Kremlin wants no
part. of the liberals, such as Mr..
Bidault, Edouard Herriot and Leon
Blum. The only government which
is acceptable to Moscow is a pup
pet, with the Communists holding
the key positions and obedient left
list Socialists holding all others.
Mr.. Bidault has received from
Paris the same reports which have
reached Washington, namely, that
Moscow has given the green light to
Thorez and has approved his plan
for a general strike which would
facilitate establishment of q Red
regime by crippling the country po-
litically and economically.
Forerunner to as" Day.
AS a forerunner to IS" day, local
strikes of major Importance are
occurring every day. The follow
ing walkouts have been listed this
week: Arsenal workers on strike at
Cherbourg, showdown strike at st.
Nazaire, strikes in northern coal
pits and strikes In -four mills and
on barges in the same area. At a
time when France is in desperate
need of coal the bargers' strike
blocked some $4,000 tons of coal.
Mill workers throughout France
have been on strike since September
%. In Normandy there is strike
of telephone operators and govern
ment officials. Warning walkouts
have been called by the joiners' in
Partisan area shops. and by glass
industry workers throughout France
This epidemic of waikouts Is not
caused by hard living conditions
and high prices. French workers
are aware that lack of production
must necessarily mean further in
creases in the cost of living. They
are overwhelmingly political-minded
and realize that the much-hoped-f -fol
American assistance depends on the
work they are prepared to do.
Unquestionably many workers do
not approve this idleness through
strike. But the power of the Com
munist- unions is so great
and the means of coercion by
Thorez's muscle-men are so numer.
Gus that rank-and-file members dc
not dare disobey orders from Com
munist headquarters.
Most observers who report from
France believe that the government
will not yield to Moscow's subordi-
mates without struggle. Since Mr.
Ramadier is unlikely to accept the
challenge, and answer force with
force, Mr.. Bidault probably will be
called on to cope with the crisis
when the showdown comes. .. q.

Speedy Action Planned.
Police association officials declared
they would not wait until the end of
the various audits to establish tighter
rules for collection of dues.
Capt John Fondahl, president Of
the Policemen's Association, said
these rules probably will be put into
effect October /.
1T is partly our fault if there Is
a shortage in Pvt. Fishers account,
because he was four months in ar
rears," Capt. Fondahl said. "A
closer check should be kept on all
collections so that accounts will not
be allowed to run that far behind"
He outlined a plan whereby each
precinct collector would make dupl-
cate records of his collections and
send the records and money to the
association secretary. The secretary
would return the duplicate and a
receip and these would be posted on
the precinct bulletin board. This
posting, Capt. Fondahl explained,
would serve the dual purpose of
keeping the personnel acquainted
with the status of the fund and also
OF listing individual members who
are delinquent in payments.
Capt. Fondahl said the delinquent
list usually has been pretty long"

Foote left for Bandoeng today to
make the. first inspection Of the
actual Dutcfi- 1ndonesian front by an
official American observer since the
United Nations consular mission be-
gan operations last month.
Mr.. Foote's trip to West Java fol-
lowed press criticism of the United
States for alleged failure to take
as active a part as the five other
nations in the U. N.-sponsored check
of compliance with the August 4
cease-fire order.
Two Chinese military observers
flew to Jogjakarta, the Indonesian
republics capital, for the mission to-
day in United States Navy plane.
The United States now is the only
country of the mission without mill
tary observers in the field.
The Americans were expected to
arrive tomorrow, more than a
month after their presence was re-
quested and only four days before
completed consular reports are to be
submitted to the Security Council.
The full consular mission, with
the exception Of China's Isiang
CHA -tung, returned today from
Jogjakarta. A qualified source said

submitted by the mission.
