F0011!“ hundred delegates to the "first national congress of the resistance” and thousands of name veterans d irhe underground war against the Germans snarled traf- fic for hours as they paraded to a the tombs of the unknown soldier and victims o! the Gerznens to pay tribute.

Their garb ranged from business suits to battle dress but virtually every partisan wore something-red, tie. gear-f, neckerolalei’, or red car- nation.

Flags were mostly red. Groups often sang the "Red Flag." Many lifted clenched fists t/o cheering crowds and many 1n the crowd re- plied with the Communist salute.

One policeman put their number at 10,000. Other watchers guessed higher. The parade. rigidly military in some spots. straggling in otihers was some four miles long.

Molotov Uses London.‘ Parley For Own Purposes

the "Russian hammer", in the vDiIllOXl of persons close to the conference, has done exactly what Ihcy snld they would stop him from doing at this meeting.

And that is to use the confer- evlce as a sounding board for Rus- snan propaganda to the German people. .

He has won the nudging admit- atlon of at least one top American diplomatic figure who has priv- ately compared him to Machiavelli and said Molotov is "one of the most skillful diplomats of this COI- tury with a style oi’ the 17th cen- tury."

1t was said before the confer- ence that. State Secretary Marshall n: the United States would seek e quick showdown on one of the nisln issues and i! Russia was not "prepared to do business", break cff negotiations. Once hue. hflw- essr. Marshall is understood to LJVQ agreed with Foreign Secre- oary Bevin of Britain who coun- xeiled "patience" and waiting sl long ss necessary for s settlement.

MBX Boyd. chief of the Assoc- iated Press bureau in Ca-iro de- scribes ihc miilary strength and weakness of the two sides in the bitter dispute over Palestine.

By MAX BOYD

CAIRO. Dec, 7 _- (AP) -- As fires of disorder swept the Middle East last week in the Zionist cru. sade for a Jewish state Bcvern- ment heads of Arab states were gathering in Cairo to decide the next moves. World Zionist leaders were reported preparing to ma“ in Jerusalem to complete plans for setting up and running a Jew- ish state.

The disorders were taking place near the Western Powers’ vast oil resources in the Middle East.

In Washington the series of outbreaks brought s forecast from an unnamed United Stnt-ss military authority that Russia within 90 days might offer troops to help maintain order in Palestlnc- within rocket range of Britain's main Middle East base in the Sues. Canal zone.

Arab leaders claim to have arm- ies totalling several hundred thou- sand 7pc“ backed up by millions oi’ iribesmen. Leaders of Hogans —ih; Jewish defence force -- say they’ "have 70.000 trained man with modern arms.

Both the strength and weakness

.of the Arabs were symbolized dur-

ing H enacting of 20.000 persons in the LOOO-year-old Al Azhar Mos- que hero Triday. Waving a pistol in one hand and the Koran. the Moslem bible, in the other, Saleh Hard Pasha. former Egyptian de- fcncc minister. told the throng: "There is only left this and this." His audience included not only thousands of Egyptians but stud- ents from the far corners of the Miislem nvvrld which stretches from Morocco on the west coast of Af- rica io the Philippine Islands. and totals more than 220,000,000 Per- sons. Aruba alone, including Mos- iems and Christians, ure estimated to number 70,000,000. lf the response to the Moslem and Arab cnlls fol‘ a jidah (holy war) is widespread the manpower supply will be almost unlimited. Another clement of strength on the Moaiem side is the hold the faith has on its followers. The Koran says that he who fights for God and is killed or defeated will receive great reward in paradise. Tho Egyptian army and some others have artillery which most observers believe Hagana lacks at present. but the Zionists generally are believed to be superior in the number and modernity of their automatic weapons and mortars.

Three Groups Seek Power In France

By STUART UNDERHTLL (Canadian Press Stuff Writer) PARIS, Dec. 'l - (CPl — Three

political groups are walking tight- rupes this winter and it is uny- body‘: guess which is going to sur- vive.

The Communists have lost ground due to their ruthless strike organlmtion, amounting almost to guerrilla warfare, but there are dark months ahead in which their mrty might regain status.

The second group is the present coalition of the Socialist Parties and the Mouvement Republicnin Populaire whose lender, Premier Robert Bchuman, has won consid- erable respect for his firm hand- ling of the first wave of Winter strikes.
