wide strikes now cripplng French
economy were engineered by the
Cominform.
Mr.. Moch made the charge at q
closed meeting of the national coun-
Gil of the Socialist Party, held over
the week end at suburban Puteaux.
Varying accounts appeared in
Paris newspapers today. Mr.. Moch
said the Socialist organ lie Popu-
laire had given an objective resi-
ume." LIE Populaire said:
He CMoch) brought evidence that
since July the Cominform has asked
the French Communist Party to pre-
pare strike movements. Contacts
took place during the summer with
the General Confederation of Labor
(CGT). whose leaders then took
measures and reported they would
be ready for action in the middle Of
September. They even indicated the
districts which have actually been
chosen as the theater of operations"
S.. A counter-charge was made at .
CGT convention by Communist
Leader Benoit Franchon. He de.
clared that non-C Communist unions
had instructions from Omitted
States Secretary of State) Marshall
for their policy of division and de-
struction."
Meanwhile, the week~old coal
strike was cutting of the hfeblood
of French industry. The fuel lost

passed the 100000 ton mark, and
a railway strike was slowly gaining
ground.
Work halted at the important
