Rebellion amongst French Communist Youth

The conflict between the leaders of the French Communist Party and the Commmist youth of the UM is far from subsiding, At the recent congress the UBC was openly opposed to the CP leadership. When the congress was over, the CP leadership began a systematic campaign against the leadership of the UEC, Dey after day, L'Humanito, the daily newspaper of tho French CP published letters from Communist students, In goneral theso. reprasented snall groups while the greatest party of the Communist students, N%able at the University of Paris, continned to hold their own opinions, This was like wise the case at a recent assembly of students in Paris, Finally tho political bureau had one of its members open attack in an article taking up a half page of L‘tmmanite. There can be no doubt that the leadership of the Commmist Party has decided to do everything possible, including breaking up the organisation of students, to achieve its aims. The leaders are plate in a position of which they never dreamed — an organisation officially recognised by the CP is in disagreement with the policies and above all the methods of the leadership.
