AMERICAN INFLUENCE ON FORCE OUVRIERE : MYTH OR REALITY?, by JACK KANTROWITZ American assistance in setting up the CGT-FO in 1948 is now established. While, on international questions, FO lias generally held views extremely close to those of the Americans, there are nonetheless many reasons to believe that it did so not because of external influence but in response to its own traditions and specific requirements. The only exception was its policy in North Africa. It was, in fact, pressure from the AFL-CIO and the CISL which led the Confederation to abandon its policy of hostility towards independence for colonized populations and adopt a more favourable stance with regard to nationalist movements in the Third World.

L'INFLUENCE AMÉRICAINE SUR FORCE OUVRIÈRE : MYTHE OU RÉALITÉ ?, par JACK KANTROWITZ L'aide apportée par les Américains en 1948 à la constitution de la CGT-FO est aujourd'hui avérée. Si FO a en général soutenu sur des questions internationales des positions extrêmement proches de celles des Américains il y a néanmoins de nombreuses raisons de considérer qu'elle ne le fit pas sous l'emprise d'une influence extérieure mais en réponse à ses propres traditions et besoins spécifiques. La seule exception fut sa politique en Afrique du Nord. Ce sont, en effet, les pressions de l'AFL-CIO et de la CISL qui amenèrent la confédération à abandonner sa politique d'hostilité à l'indépendance des peuples colonisés et à prendre une position plus favorable aux mouvements nationalistes du Tiers monde.
