- §peaking in Kunming at the Yunnan University during his visit to China early this month, imar Ouzegane, Algerian Minister of State, spoke of the role of the French and Algerian C.P.s during the war of liberation, He recalled that, in the early days of the Algerian neational—independense move— ment, the leaders of the French Communist Party arbitrarily issued orders to the Algerians without considering the country's specific conditions,
As if not wishing to be outdone, leaders of the Algerian Communist Party regarged the people's struggle for independence oa adventurous and foolhardy, said Amar Ouzgegano, Alleging that the workers and peasants were incapable of seizing political power and running the government, they raised such slogans as higher wages, vacations, increased welfare and family allow ances, rather than lending the national-indepondence movement. Consemently the banner of the revolution passed into the hands of thoso who were actally fighting for Algoria's independence,
Noting that his people started thoir armed struggle with only 500 hunting guns against 100,000 well-equipped French troops, he rocalled that the lenders of some political partias head regarded the uprising as a "suicidsl operation" which could not Inset more then 3 months, At that time the Political Bureau of the French VC.F. also issued a communique condemning tho operation on these grounds. Those pseudo-revolutionary theoreticians, hoe ssid, had forgotten that the .lgerian people had completely repudiated the reformist ideology. Based on Peking Review report
