1. French stress need of now labor international--According
nnYGRssy , a-0.5, Te.~ 1u ~Ler~c cci~ts are i~3c?reas-
in ;lit concerned over t inure cf British boor to realize
d w Importance arc' urgencj of establish" i!rsmedintely- a
new international labor g o s, which vouici effectively oppose
the World Federation o Trade Unions (WFTUXnow completely
Com unist-domi .ter?i as a resit of the secession of the
loacihig western ti a unions. Eton-Communist French labor
leaders also hope that the CIO and the AFL in the US will
a'-. recttte the urgonLy of organizing a non-Communist labor
Interna.tion 1.
(CIA Comment: C111 believes that mess a new
western-oriented labor international is promptly established,
the hard-core Communists in the WFTU will. make imnortant
gains in the international trade union movement. CIA believes
that, in addition to the attitude of British labor, antagonism
between the AFL and the C O is one of the main obstacles to
the organization of such an anti-Communist labor international.)
2. USSR rejects US counterproposal on Berlin currency--US
Representative . pp -eneva repor SSPR has
re jected,as a basis for discussion,, the US counterproposal
providing for acceptance of the Soviet mark on the basis of
autortomous use in the three western sectors of Berlin. The
Soviet rejection contended that the US counterproposal did
not conform to the basic principles of the 30 August Moscow
directive. The Soviet representative In Geneva, however,
expressed the belief that, although it'require4 significant
amendments and aclciitions, the UN Technical Committee's
draft report did conform to the Moscow directive.
(CIA Comment: CIA believes that Soviet insistence
on the 30 August Moscow directive indicates that the USSR
will continue to reject any settlement which would protect the
interests of the western powers in a split Berlin.)
