peoples inhabiting it.
There is not a single Moslem
university in Algeria. Nor is there
a Moslem daily newspaper. French
radio broadcasts in Arabic and
Kabyle, the principal languages of
Algeria. But those with radio sets
probably tune in Cairo more
frequently than Algiers.
1t is ostensibly for the MoSlems
that France now is spending mil
lions of dollars to lift the country
out of poverty. illiteracy and un-
employment. But little has been
done to adapt the methods to the
country.
In tent schools in the sun
scorched Sahara, children Of
nomads learn from textbooks that
"our ancestors were the Gauls."
But Moslem youngsters educated
in French missions quickly return
to the ways of their fathers as
soon as they graduate.
The French point proudly to
some 100000 Moslems who serve
in French uniforms against the
rebels. But they rarely talk of the
Moslem officers who deserted to
join the rebellion.
A number of French govern
ments have pleaded with the
rebels to abandon the fighting.

Russion Wotch Prices
Russia's detectives in exporting
consumer goods when most of her
own people and the satellite coun-
tries are crying for just these
goods are manifold.
For one thing, the Reds badly
need the exchange currencies
these sales would bring to help
them plant heavy industrial ma
chinery in the uncommitted areas
of the world. Their ability to pick
their own price at which these
goods will be sold will permit them
to disrupt foreign markets and In
some cases probably cause indus
tries in several countries to suffer
serious economic damage.
And there is probably some
propaganda value if they can put
a watch with a Russian name in
a United States department store
or small car such as the
"Moskva" on a United States for

Immediate reaction in the

and for the United States Com

while there is no embargo on

Red countries pay a 10 per cent
tariff, compared with an 31a per
cent duty for other foreign coun-
tries. Service parts would pay q

If the Reds could deliver a

The same might well be true Of
other Russian products. If they

A day may come when Russian
consumer goods - watches, cos
tune jewelry, pens and lighters,
even appliances and automobiles
will be displayed in United
States store windows.
It won't come for several years.
But the Russians are already cast
ing a longing look at the Amer
lean consumer dollar.
Top soviet economic planners
have filled their new seven-year
plan with programs which add up
to a massive economic war on the
free world. For the first time,
these include not only assaults on
industrial markets throughout the
world. but a calculated invasion
of consumer goods into major
countries.
Watches appear likely to be one
of the first products which the
Reds will send in large volume
into world marketS-and perhaps
eventually to this country.
The Soviets are planning to
boost their watch production by
about 40 per cent by 1865. Over
the next seven years, as produc-
ton is stepped up, some 200 mil
lion Russian watch movements will
be turned out. Most of these will
be for export The United States
has no quota for such watch i'm
ports but there is. of course, a
tariff.
The watch production boost was
revealed in an article recently in
"Moskovskaya Pravda," a large
daily newspaper published in Mos
COW, by an N. Volkov. director OF
Russia's largest watch factory 10
Gated in the capital city.
Challenge to the Swiss
Volkov issued direct challenge
to the Swiss for leadership in
watch manufacturing. The Reds
are taking typically direct APP
proach to the problem.
First, Volkov said, the Russian
watch industry will embark on
an about drive to improve both
mechanical and design features
of its timepieces, particularly
women's wrist watches. Training
programs for workers to staff new
watch production lines are being
expanded.
The history of the Russian
watch industry typifies the late
but rapidly-moving industrial rev.
olution in the Soviet Union.
Twenty-Five years ago, there were
no watches produced in Russia.
In 1910, production amounted to
8 million movements. This year,
Russia will turn out about Is mil
lion movements. BY 1865, this
production will be boosted to IS
million At Volkov's plant alone,
production will be increased by
300 per cent by 1865. he said.
This compares with present
United States production of Z
million movements a year, and
imports of about twice that.
Russia now trades with some
70 countries. including the United
States. Soon, Volkov boasted. ali

ALGIERS.-It has been nearly
year since frustrated French
army officers in Algeria raised the
standard of revolt that brought
Gen. Charles de Gaulle to power
in France.
And, while Gen. de Gaulle has
made progress toward settling
many of the problems besetting
postwar France, the agonizing,
exhausting dilemma Of Algeria it.
self remains essentially un-
changed.
The hard-core of independence
minded Algerian Moslems is still
tucked away in the hills carrying
its war and campaign of terror
through the fifth year.
The million-odd European set
tiers, only tenth of the popula-
ton, still hold out for total inte-
grafton with France under the
s1ogan: THE Mediterranean
crosses France like the Seine
crosses Paris"
The French army in Algeria,
tied down by what it feels is an
aimless war, still is restless and
determined that Algeria will not
turn out to be another Indo-
China.
1t was last May Is that Euro
pean students Stormed the French
administration building in AL
giers and the army took over and
Gen. de Gaulle emerged as the
symbol of the revolt to keep
Algeria French"
Negotiations Going On
Gen. de Gaulle's Fifth Republic
has not given formal backing to
the idea of indignation. Negotia-
ton with the rebels still is a pros
pect and, to most Europeans, ne
gotiation could mean only Moslem
independence.
Algerian independence and a
Moslem government undoubtedly
would mean the gradual expulsion
of many Europeans and the de-
cline of European influence in
the country.
It is the vision Of refugee ships
and meaner and crowded living
conditions in the rain-drenched
cities of France that haunts the
Europeans of Algeria.
It is the prospect of hundreds
of thousands of unemployed
Frenchmen from Algeria-most of
them used to a high standard Of
living-that haunts the French
government.
"These people would not only
be an economic problem" says a
French official. They would be-
come a political problem and a
threat to the government"
Meaning of lnteerotion
Algerian indignation means po-
litical indignation, not social and
racial indignation, for few Euro
peans honestly want this kind of
union with the nine million AL
gerian Moslems.
They do not wish to be 'inte-
grated" with Arabs who live an
existence of the Middle Ages in
their stone and mud "gourbis" in
the sun-scorched Algerian coun-
tryside.
Almost every adult European Of
Algeria belongs to an organiza-
ton, a patriotic organization, as
they are called here. Almost all
Of them are right-wing political
groups pledged to keep Algeria
French.

A BACKWARD LOOK IN BERLIN

BERLN.-Down came the bar

IL was May II. 1919. The Russian
blockade Of West Berlin was

the Soviets once again menace

For inspiration and methods 10

look back on the struggle Of men
and women who defeated a sim

comparably greater odds.
The Soviets began their his
toric effort to starve 100000
West Berliners into submission
with q casual announcement In the
early hours Of June "a. 1913:
due TO a technical dificulty
on the rail line. the Soviet Mill
tary Transport Command has been
compelled TO halt passenger and
freight traffic between Berlin and
Helmstedt."
Soviet barriers sealed the ll0e
mile rail-highway corridor link
ing West Berlin TO West Germany.
The land blockade was on. Why?
West Berlin was a giant pawn.
as it may be today, in a Soviet
master plan TO halt the build-up
Of Western Germany.
The Russion Demonds
Marshal VASTLY Sokolovsky. the
Russian military governor of Ger
many, bluntly stated the price for
lifting the blockade: The United
States, Britain and France must
give up their program for cur
I rency reform in West Germany
and the creation Of a freely
elected independent government.
Alternatively. as a consolation
prize, the Russians wanted to
absorb this freedom citadel, ITO
miles behind the Iron Curtain.
The blockade caught the West
ern Allies completely unprepared.
Many Allied Notwithstanding
some top United States Govern
ment figures-thought it best to
write OF Berlin and get out quickly
from the militarily indefensible
city.
In the Western sectors, there
were 5000 United States troops,
1000 British and $500 French
stacked against $4,000 Soviet
troops in the Eastern sector and
another 100000 parked all around
in East Germany.
The Western powers had dis
mantled their great World War II
fighting machine while the Soviets
retained theirs.
The Red army was convinced
that West Berlin could not be
provisioned by air and the allies
