STRIKERS AND TROOPS IN

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1948.

PITCHED BATTLE

French Communists

Incite Violence

Paris, Oct. 8.Spreading violence broke out in France's Communist-led five-day-old coal strike and one person was killed and 33 injured. The strike spread to ports and railroads, and the government ordered coke oven operators back to work under threat of fines and jail terms if they refused.

Most prolonged fighting was in Micheville, near Nancy, where 500 troops battled striking coal miners with clubs and tear gas for five hours.

The troops fought into the Micheville Steel Mill which had been occupied by striking coal miners. But the strikers finally reoccupied the mill. Eight soldiers and two strikers were injured. The strikers captured seven soldiers, but later released them un- harmed. The strikers had occupied the mill in order Lo prevent any of their number going back to work at its coke oven.

MR EDEN OUTLINES A FOREIGN POLICY

Advocates Interlocking Systems Of Unity

Llandudno, North Wales, Oct. 8.-British foreign policy should have three immediate objectives, Mr Anthony Eden, Britain's war- time Foreign Minister and now deputy leader of the Conservative Opposition, told the Conservative Party Annual Conference here today.

These were: 1-Unity within the British Commonwealth and Empire; 2.-Unity with Western Europe; 3.-Unity across the Atlantic,

By these interlocking systems, a large part of the world could be encouraged and organised for prosperity and security, he said. *

Mr Eden also attacked as "jackals" the Labour critics of his successor at the Foreign Office, Mr Ernest Bevin.

In a speech loudly cheered and unanimously endorsed by the Conference, Mr Eden said: "No successful foreign policy can be pursued in this country which is not based on the full approval and co-operation of our great partners in the Com-

monwealth and Empire."

Mr Eden, who was winding up a debato on foreign affairs, had begun by saying that he took "a very sombre view" of the present international outlook.
