The situation in France had never Leon Blum been worse. It was touch and go, with the terrifying possibility of a civil war looming as a result of the present deep unrest. Underlying cause of it all is France's prostrate economic condition and the prospect of a cold, hungry winter. Even if U. S. stopgap aid is rushed through immediately it will fall far short of being the oil needed to pour on the troubled waters. Superimposed on that situation were these political factors: government, try- IThe Socialist to pursue a moderate course, was being squeezed between the stronger Communists to the left and Gen. Charles De Gaulle's Rally of the French People on the extreme right. The Communists, true to the teachings of Marx, were trying to foment revolution by instigating the paralyzing strikes after their legal and political methods to overthrow the government had failed. General De Gaulle, seeking the governmental reins for himself, has said he would deal with the Communists with a strong, authoritarian hand. De Gaulle is feared because he stands for totalitarianism. The real struggle for France is being waged between the Communists and DeGaulle's followers. Moderate Socialism is simply caught in the middle.

Investigation of the application of the atom to agriculture has been given impetus by, the estimate of William W. W'aymack, member of the atomic energy commission and Des Moines, Iowa, newspaper publisher, that radioactive isotopes may be instrumental in increasing farm production In the U.

Thus, Marshall charged Russia with blocking European recovery and waging a deliberate propaganda campaign. "It is time to call a halt to such inflammatory practices," he said. The U.
