If this time the nogotiations break dow agai te wiw bs compelled to bring in its rosorve forces, to internationalise the war, to acquire in Tunisia, as in Morocco, the necessary the space which will allow it to utilise its huge modorn armaments and destroy the barriers orected by the French. This will load inevitably to a purely military "Dien-Bien-Phu" solution of the war.
che Moroccan people and even its leaders have been won for this perspective. Tho coming weeks will be decisive from this point of viow.
iiverywhore we found the fighters of the Algerian revolution, civil and military, men and women, living in great expectation, confident of the favourable outcome of the negotiations in progress, but at the samo time firmly decided to change quickly and with all necessary energy thoir tactics, to throw into the struggle all the resorves of the roevclution,
Thanks to tho aid recoived from Arab countrics, the workers! states and some Juropean organisations, particularly from Sweden, Holland, Switzerland, Britain, Italy and even France, the Algerians can send to school a large number of children, boys and girls, cithor war orphans or refugees. Admirable teachers, men and women, Algerians and Suropeans, sacrifice thomselves with complete devot— ion to the education of these children with an carnestness and understanding quite unique, often under the most difficult circumstances,
Notwithstanding the colossal efforts rendered by the social .sorvices,. . of the F.L.N. and the teaching staff, the children fo not have all the things thoy need for their studies (books, paper, pencils, cquipment for technical education ote. ) and in somo cases they even lack adoquate clothing. Particularly hard are the conditions of the children sent to school in tho frontier regions; boys and Girls of 6 to 12 years old have to walk, in mid-winter, morning and evening, distances of . 2 to 4 miles, and in some cases more, to reach school, inadequately clothed and fed for such an effort,
Most of them live with their rofugee parents, who have for many years lived in precarious tents, battered and penetrated by thedlements, with an oxtreme lack of food and clothing. What a comment on the white man, so-called civilised and christian, of urope! What a challengo to the Muropean workers and socialist movement$
One imagines with difficulty in affluent Surope of today the conditions under which thousm%ds of human beings are living on that African soil, men, women, childron, old people all victims of a bestial colonial war.
It seems an clemontary duty, quite apart from any false sentimentality, to tell with force our proletarian brothers in Europe and to all freo men and women who are concerned with the liberty and dignity of man, that it is urgently necessary, to obtain massive aid, be it only on a humanitarian level, for the Algerian revolution, that money, medicines, clothing, powdered milk, etc. should be collected and sent to the ~ trade union in liabats

Such aid would enable thousands of children can be sont to school, fed, taken care of, —-—— to survive.
And in general, thousands of human beings, children, old poople, women, mon, would t:us be saved this winter from the terrible ravages, which the criminal continuation of the Algerian war is sowing, a war most terrible of all colonial wars of imperialism, 31/12/61 Michel Pablo 4D, NOT: Comrades are asked to consider urgently how they can respond to comrade
