NO LIKELIHOOD OF REPERCUSSIONS

Paris, June 19.

Little likelihood of widespread political strikes to follow today's one-hour gonoral strike in France was seen by absorvers, hore tonight. But it is clear that, with the cost of living shooting up, the economic and financial outlook is not good. While no strike wave like that of Novem- ber is anticipated, there is fertile ground for social unrest, writes Harold King, Reuters Cor- "respondent.

It is widely belleved that the f Minister of the Interior, M. Jules Moch, seized the appar- tunity on the eve of the crucial vote on the Western Germna plans to make a demonstration of the Government's authority when he ordered the election of strikers from n factory in Cler- mont Ferrand.

COUNTERPOISE

Paris, June 19.

Robert Edwards, Chairman of the British Indo- pendent Labour Party, today urged the crea- tion of a "Third Bloc” of the peoples of West Europe, Asia and Africa as a counter-poise ba- tween the United States-and-Soviet Russia. He made his plea at the opening here of the Con- gress of European Asiatic and African Peoples, called by the leftwing Socialists of Britain, France, India, Indo-China and Africa.
