ANTI-MALRAUX DEMONSTRATION SOLIDARITY WITH THE ALGERIAN REVOLUTION
André Malraux, author of the great revolutionary novel,
- whose later degeneration through the stage of a Stalinist propagandist (Man's Hope) to disgraceful eminence as a governmental apologist for Gaullist Bonapartism has been one of the strangest and saddest cultural phenomena of these recent decades already rich in examples of demoralization and renegacy — has been recently engaged in a Latin American tour to try to swing public opinion behind French colonialism for the test of the imminent vote on the Algerian question at the UNO.

For its part, the CUT (the Chilean Trade-Union Federation), responding to the appeal of the International Secretariat of the Fourth International and to the campaign launched by the POR (T), sent a cable to the French government denouncing the assassination of Aïssat [dir and demanding complete independence for the Algerian people. Furthermore, the Chilean Committee for the support of the Algerian Revolution, the CUT, and the PÖR (T), sent a joint cable to the Algerian government-in-exile in which they pledged their solidarity with its
