France's "War" On

Paris, Feb. 14.

"We won the first battle last November and December when the Communists unsuccess- Jully tried to provoke a general-strike. Now. the government is trying to halt the rise in prices, and, if possible, force them down. This is the second battle with the Communists and the government is doomed if it is lost.' The informant would not per |inli μse of Els name. These váry. ing estimates of price increases her December 1 fa ve been given:-
