Leila Khaled: Polish rad for firm action against hij Palestinian commando In Jordan. STALINIST fear of the ,deepening Arab revolu- tion has expressed itself over the last two weeks through a furious radio and press tirade against the guerrilla hi-jackers.

In the Soviet Union, after a total news blackout on the hi-jackings, lasted which from Sunday to Wednesday of last week, Moscow Home Service quoted Arab govern- ment statements attacking the action. More significantly, no Mos- cow news broadcast made any reference to the guerrillas' demand for the release of the three commandos held in W Germany. Neither was there any mention of the hi-jacking attempt by Leila Khaled and her murdered comrade. On no account could the W German government, currently the closest W European allies of the Soviet bureaucracy, be embarrassed. This anti-Arab style of reporting set the tone for the next week.

SYMPATHY

The Soviet propaganda machine took the even Reuter's News Agency to task for 'giving the impression that almost all Arabs are in sym- pathy with the Palestinian partisans who have seized air- craft on international routes'.

the next few days, Over Moscow Radio contented itself with relaying anti-hi-jacking statements by Arab govern- ments and the Central Com- mittee of the Palestine Libera- tion Organization. The Kremlin's four-day silence on the hi-jackings created big problems for the radio and press of its Warsaw Pact allies.

A TROTSKYIST ANALYSIS

BY ROBERT BLACK

Available from WORKERS of the Perrier Trust - the French mineral water and food concern - face an attack on the right to strike which has become a weapon in the hands of the whole French employing class. As at Pilkington's, the man- agement is attempting to victi- mize militants and trade unionists in retaliation against a united strike which brought out the vast majority of workers. Perrier — the fizzy mineral water which is claimed to be the indispensable cure for the dietary over-indulgence of the European middle classes — is bottled at a number of plants, mainly in the Gard region of SW France. Strike spread A strike started on June 4 at the Vergeze plant-the most militant of the group - and soon spread to four others: Contexville, Montigny, Vichy and Saint-Yorre. The demand for a was general agreement covering all grades and giving substantial pay and hours concessions.

In the course of the strike the Vergeze plant was occupied for four days. Of 1,200 workers, 900 sup- ported the action. the 300 remaining, 150 were man- agement and supervisory staff.

On June 15 workers at all plants made a united return to work having won a 4 per cent rise and a progressive reduction of working hours over the next two years. Legal weapon For the first time, members of the two main unions, the CGT (CP-led) and CFDT had

THE VICIOUS

sentences passed last week on five young people in the French Court of State Security for 'reconstituting a dissolved league (the . Maoist 'Prole- tarian Left') summoned a reluctant objection from the French Communist Party leaders. Jean Noel-Darde was sen- tenced to six months in pri- son, and loss of civil rights, and Jacques Kucklick, Georges Chuffart, Yvette Moniot and Francoise Delescaut got three- month sentences and were also deprived of their rights.

CP secretary Georges Mar- chais and his fellow Stalinists certainly have scant sympathy with these victims of Gaullist police rule. The 'Proletarian Left' was one of the organizations they have described as 'fascists of the left' and radio-controlled from the Ministry of the Interior'.

DISGUST

What the reproachful com- Tuesday's ment 'L'Humanité' (French CP daily) reflects is the profound dis- gust of many Party members with the encouragement the leadership give to the police their slanders against other sections of the labour movement. The writer particularly objects to the deprivation of rights, which he describes as an 'exceptional' measure.

acted as one in all the plants.

The management was deter- mined to destroy this unity.

But they dared not simply sack leading militants. What they found to hand were the legal weapons to victimize twelve Vergeze workers. Using the section of the Napoleonic Code dealing with 'the judicial resolution of the labour contract, they have set down legal cases against 12 workers for 'faults committed during the strike of June 4 to 15, 1970'. Of these 12 workers, five were CGT stewards, three were trade union branch dele- gates (one CFDT and two CGT), one was the secretary of the CFDT plant committee and one was the joint secre- tary of the CGT plant com- mittee. • For good measure, and in a feeble attempt to wrap up their real intentions, they also took action against two rank- and-file workers. Despite continued strikes and demonstrations by workers within the plant the management has refused to retreat. And the CGT and CFDT national leaderships have refused to lead any offi- cial action in support of the Perrier workers. Principles A statement from the trade union organizations within Perrier correctly points out that the principles involved in this struggle are universally important. The management, they say, will only retreat if forced to.

The cases come to court at the end of this month, and they are calling for the widest possible support to make Perrier withdraw them uncon- ditionally. 'even It was not used against those sentenced for crimes with the OAS'. This 'defence' is absolutely inadequate, and can convince no serious socialist or militant.

The central question is the unconditional defence of 'Pro- letarian Left' and the other outlawed organizations against all police and legal attacks.
