Middle Class Squeezed.
Outside the middle classes, which
are being reduced to poverty in the
squeeze between the farmers and
workers on the one side and un-
scrupulous black marketers on the
other, the overwhelming majority
of French people are better of
than they have been for a long
time.
1t is true that recent strikes
caused loss of 24,OO0, 100000 francs

fixed income-salaries, rents, divi-

the past. Their incomes are barely
suf1icient to keep body and soul to-

Black marketers are as prosperous
as ever. Farmers, who supply the
black markets with their produce,
are also well of, as are the workers
whose strikes have brought pay
increases. Moreover, the vast ma
jority Of workers, belonging to
Communist-dominated unions, can
obtain essential needs at reasonable
prices through Moscow-subsidized
co-operatives.
The fundamental reason for the
uncertain situation in France is
that the Politburo and the Comm

Justice Douglas Gives Name to New Deal
AS Able Spokesman for Its Values

umphant gathering of the National
Association of Manufacturers, and
there would have been a consider
able uproar II one did.
The vacuum Justice Douglas
might fill in the political arena is as
large in labor as in the administra-
ton.
Labor has not had, since the
death of Sidney Hillman, a leader
qualified to expand and interpret its
role beyond the confines Of its i'm
mediate self-interest. 1t is worthy
for unions to boot out Communists
and, from their point Of view, ex-
coriate the Taft-Hartley Act. But
Justice Douglas called upon them
in terms like these:
1.-The democrats Of the world look
to labor to keep the middle way
open. New times have brought
new challenges. Labor is peculiarly
qualified to bridge the gap that has
been growing between the United
States and Europe. 1t is from the
lips of American labor that Europe
can most readily learn how democ-
racy and freedom can be peace
fully achieved in a framework Of
government"
AdmonitiOn to Diplomats.
In an admonition almost directly
aimed at the White House, the JUS
tice said:
The conventional diplomat will
fail miserably in these revolution
ary days unless he understands the
rise of labor governments of the
world and can evaluate the factors
that have created and maintained
them. Yet knowledge and under
standing of both the American and
European labor movements is the
one essential tool Of modern di-
plomacy that Is unfortunately miss
ing from the equipment Of our
conventional diplomats"
Diplomacy in the Truman admin
istration is largely in military hands
with Gen. Marshall as Secretary Of
State. It has long been the wish Of
the New Dealers that this situation
might be altered; hence the talk of
Justice Douglas as Secretary Of
State.
The justice also wholly con-
hrmed at Portland his Roosevelt
allegiance. He declared that under
Franklin Roosevelt liberia lism
gathered a mighty momentum and
swept away the remaining threats
of industrial serfdom .. The hu-
man welfare state is the great polit-
ical invention of the twentieth CEN
tury . . Labor was its prime pro-
moter, but all groups in society
farmers, business and professions
were its beneficiaries.

Are Reported Despite
Miners Mobilization
BY the Associoted Press

PARIS, Oct. 28.-Troops using
tanks and armored cars started
clearing pickets today from ad-
ditional mineheads in the struck
coal basin of Northern France.
There was no report of serious
clashes, although the miners had
been called by sirens to mobilize
against the soldiers and police.
Communicated unions pulled out
the s35, ZOO miners early this month
with double objectives of more pay
and striking at the European Re-
covery Program. which the United
States is financing.
Fuel Blockade Ordered.
Red labor leaders also ordered q
blockade of all imports of fuel by
land and sea, calling out dockwork-
ers at main ports. Troops, how
ever, began unloading American
coal at La Rochelle from the Greek
Liberty ship Centorini, out of Phil
sdelphia.
Police cut off access to the docks
to avoid incidents. The Centor. nj
was one of score of coal ships held
up at French ports by the dock
strike.
Army forces edged cautiously
toward the Communist strongholds

leaders had threatened blood will
flow in the streets" But gunplay

United Nations use economic
sanctions to force peace in Pal
estine.
France, Belgium and Canada an
nounced support and a reliable
source said the United States also
would vote for the resolution.
Russia and the Soviet Ukraine did
not make known their positions.
The debate will be resumed to-
morrow in the Security Council
Russia asked for a two-day post
ponement, but Warren Austin. the
American Council president, ruled
lat adjournment today there would
be no delay. The Council meets
again tomorrow.
Urgent Study Asked.
Israel has rejected orders of the
acting U. N. mediator of Palestine.
Ralph Bunche, that her troops
withdraw from positions won in the
Negeb Desert in a week of battle
with Egypt. Egypt's complaint that
Israel is violating the U. N. cease
fire order brought up the issue.
The British-C Chinese proposal was
advanced under Article Al, Chapter
n of the U. N. Charter, which sets
forth actions mot involving the use
of armed force" by which the Coun-
Gil may enforce its decisions. These
include breaking economic and dip
lomatic relations.
Britain, France and China have
not recognized Israel. The United
States, Russia and many smaller
nations have.
Sir Alexander Cadogan of Britain
offered the Council draft resolu-
ton calling for a special committee
to examine urgently" the action
the Council might take under Ar
ticle Al, which reads: Q
The Security Council may decide
what measures not involving the
use Of armed force are to be en-
ployed to give effect to its decisions
and it may call upon the members
of the United Nations to apply such
measures. These may include COM
plete or partial interruption of eco
