September 30, 1969 THE STRIKE move- ment which began in Italy at the end of 1968 continues unabated. Now a new factor emerges: the unity of North and South. Italy proves that a trade surplus is no solution to capitalism's crisis. The favourable Italian export based showing has been largely on very low wages and a pool of nearly two mil- lion unemployed. Large-scale investment in the rural and more politically conservative south certainly provided quick returns in an area where the working class is traditionally poorly organ- ized. But the most recent strike wave began in the South, in Sicily (scene of the recent shooting of two striking farm labourers) and in towns such as Battipaglia, where over 50 per cent of the population out of work. Now another southern town, Taranto, has taken action against the appalling living and working conditions that are the lot of millions of Italian workers and peasants. Modern plants Taranto is a steel town, where vast sums have been poured into some of the most modern plant in Europe.

The centrist rump of Nenni's party regrouped to form the Socialist Workers' Party of Unity (PSIUP) and moved towards a closer alliance with the Communist Party. Nenni and Saragat came to- gether on the basis of an agree- ment to enter a coalition with the 'left' Christian Democrats, the so-called 'centre-left' solu- tion. When that combination is forced to act on behalf of Italian capitalism against mil- lions of workers, the mass the reformists support for threatens to dwindle away.

This utter bankruptcy within the Italian social democracy has turned the coalitionist sec- tions of the ruling class away from the Nennis and Saragats towards the Com- munist Party leadership. This Party states openly that it fights not for socialism, but for a programme of what it 'structural reforms' terms which boil down to the mod- ernizing of Italian capitalism.

Terrified of the militancy breaking out in every major industrial area and southern village, the ultra - reformist Communist Party leaders are now trying to outbid the social democrats for posts in a co- alition cabinet.

In doing so, of course, he admitted that the 11 years of Gaullist rule had not achieved what many of its supporters had hoped or had even as- sumed had been done until the May-June 1968 events.

He referred to the existence of a multitude of small-scale inefficient units in production and in distribution. While calling attention to the growth in agricultural productivity and production with a smaller labour force, he underlined the still excessive size and in- efficiencies of the agrarian sector The existence of a large number of small businesses, small shopkeepers and arti- sans and peasants who to- gether make up a sizeable part of the electorate, means that Pompidou had to tread very warily. From the whole tone of his the e speech it was obvious that his approach to these representa- tives of the old-style, petty capitalism was hypocritical.
