General Strike Call By Japanese Reds
After Election Defeat
Tokyo, June 5.-Nearly complete returns in
the Sunday Parliamentary election showed tonight
that Japanese voters had rejected the Communist Party appeal for a big protest vote against the policies of General Douglas MacArthur.
Acknowledging their setback; the Communist leaders announced that they would fight to the bitter end against the plans of Premier Shigeru Yoshida's pro-American Liberals to outlaw the Communist Party. The Communist boasted that 10 more of their number would rise to take the place of each Communist gaoled in a "struggle to keep Japan from becoming a colony" of the United States..

Theoretically, M. Schuman con make out a plausible case for insisting on that requirement, because on the surface the plan is simple and all that is neces- sary to do is to work out the details. But it is not quite so easy as that. The High Authority would, presumably, con- trol output and prices over the whole of Western Europe, and Britain's coal and steel industries would be the large single contributor to this economic integration. Britain's demand to know more before definite committal is therefore rational.

will agree with Mr Harriman, of the Economic Co-operation Administration that it is a very bold and imaginative, proposal of great politleul significance. It will enlist Germany's huge steel industry into the Western cold war bloc, reduce to next to nothing the chances of a future Franco-German collision, and speed rehabilitation. Fortunately, Britain's attitude has not sabotaged the plan. The six other nation's concerned will push have ahead without Britain. It would been disastrous had any other decision been taken, partly because the project can become effective without British partici patleri and partly because it leaves the door open for Britain to enter into the pool later when it begins to function and all the implications can be accurately assessed. Indeed, at this stage, as the result of the clash with France, it would be unwise for the Attlee Cabinet to revise its attitude. It will take far more than Analise conference to week's next planning.
