"MOUTHPIECE

OF REACTION"

Paris, Apr. 20.

In a wide survey of French affairs at home and abroad, including colonial problems, M. Maurice Thorez, Communist Vice-Premier of the French Government, today accused Gener- al Charles de Gaulle of being "the mouthpiece of the reactionary forces in France" and of grouping in his wake, "perhaps despite his will" all enemies of the Republic "who are also the enemies of France."

Speaking at Gueret, in Creuse Departement. M. Thorez said: "The blood of our soldiers and of men who are our brothers and citizens of the French Union is flowing. The only solution to these fratricidal conflicts is to trust the native populations and their legitimate representa-

tivse.
