UNION ANNOYANCE
QUARREL WITH DE GAULLE
PARIS, September 4. After General de Gaulle's refusal to see the secretary-general of the general confederation of French Labour, M. Jouhax, on the subject of Left-wing dissatisfaction with the arrangements for the coming General Election, representatives of the federation, the Communist Party, the Socialist Party, the Radical Socialist Party, and the League of the Rights of Man met and passed a resolution protesting against the "haugiity tone" of General de Gaulle's reply to the request for an interview. The resolution added: "The federation (C.G.T.) will never allow its right to speak to be questioned when it is a matter of ensuring fair representation for all citizens in expressing their views affecting the future of democracy." The Right Wing Socialist newspaper "Voix de Paris" says: "It is useless to hide the fact that General de Gaulle's refusal has created a serious situation." M. Leon Blum, leader of the Socialist Party, who is leaving for London tonight, alter a long interview with General de Gaulle, expects his Socialist Party to emerge from the elections the strongest since the party was formed.
