Communism Upsurge
Seen in France Soon
II Prices Stay High
by the Assoeiaisd Press

4 ~ tfS SSse0SsofU1 FISes
PARIS, Mar. MANY realists
give France only is days at most in
which to beat down prices or face
a menacing Communist labor up
surge.
So far, they will tell you, the
finance measures taken by the Schu-
man government have not stopped
mounting food prices.
Moreover, the governments dol
lar supplies for carrying on the
battle have thinned out to such
degree that both American and
French sources say Marshall Plan
aid due after April / will not ar
rive in time to block wage crisis
that seems to be shaping up to
begin March 10 to Is.
One well-placed American source
said today March 10 was the best
estimate.
Here Is how the crisis date Is
reckoned:
The Communist controlled Labor
Federation already has demanded
20 per cent increase in the mini
mum wage base on grounds that
price sterilization sought by the
Schuman government had not yet
caught on.
Labor groups presently support
ing the government have held off
from any such demands but have
made it clear that they cannot
hold their members in line indefi-
nitely.
Added to this is some unofficial
intimation that certain manufac-
turers are running short of raw
material and will begin laying off
men about March Is unless they
get some more That is expected
to help the Communists to start a
labor disturbance.
The coup in Czechoslovakia that
put the Communists in complete
control of the government has
scared Frenchmen in high and low
places. French employees in busi-
ness Offices talk about it grimly.
French officialdom has felt for
months that the Communists would
take over Czechoslovakia almost any
time, but the act came as a shock,
nevertheless. AS one of them ex-
planned it to an American diplomat:
"It is like having a very sick
brother. You know he may die
anytime, but when he does you are
shaken"
There is no open sign what effect
it might have on the political situa-
ton in France, but many felt it
would encourage the Communists
to harden their demands and harass
the Schuman government further
before its finance measures have a
longer chance to work
But on another front political
writer's here seemed confident 1t
would cool off any lingering senti-
ment left-wing Socialists might
have had for their co-Marxists
Communist brothers.
That factor promised to lend
further stability to the Schuman
government which has been kept in
Office by the combined vote of
Socialists and party groups Of the
center against the Communists on
one hand and De Gaullist sup
porters on the other.
The fate of the Socialists in
Czechoslovakia was only the latest
of a series of shocks to Socialists in
France, many of whom for a long
time have hated the idea OF seeing
labor divided into Communist and
Socialist camps, both of them claim
ing to be Marxist followers,
