European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 27, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 4 the stars and stripes i vim turmoil to to costly monday May 37, w sick m by George Sibera Paris up the French crisis will Deal a Devastino blow to the country s Economy. Experts believe that once the dust settles France will have to pay a heavy Bill that May make it the sick Man of Europe again. Like the declining turkish Empire of the last Century France was Long mocked because of fre quent political crises and chronic economic chaos. Since his return to Power in1958, president Charles de Gaulle has been trying to give Francea solid political and economic regime. Ten years ago the nation s for eign currency reserves were less than $20. Million and the Economy was a mess As a result of the algerian War. Before the current unrest the reserves had reached the unprecedented level of $6  was the result of de Gaulle s ceaseless drive to make France solvent again. Nearly 90 per cent of the re serves Are in Gold most of it coming from it. Knox reserves after conversion of dollars earned by Trade. De Gaulle has been using his Gold Board chiefly As a diplomatic weapon designed to Knock Down the role of the Pound Sterling and the Dollar once France began regaining Prosperity after the algerian War ended in 1962. The present turmoil has shred ded the veil hiding the Basic weakness of the French eco nomic Structure. In his nationwide address Fri Day de Gaulle admitted that the unrest is a bitter protest against the antiquated educational and economic  by average standards however the country was no doing badly in recent months. Industrial production was mov ing ahead at the rate of 6.5 per cent after nearly three years of stagnation. But whatever gains had been achieved in Industrial advances have often been can celeb by fast rising prices. Retail prices have been moving up a average 3 per cent a year easily catching up with wage increases. The Economy is seriously hampered by the Small size of Industrial plants an archaic distribution system and parochial management  is paying the Price of Many decades of protectionism marked by heavy import duties and heavy subsidies to the Home Industrial and farm productions. The Bill for the crisis probably will total hundreds of millions. Experts believe that de Gaul Lewill have to make sweeping con Cessions to Trade unions which will sharply increase production costs and slow Down the coun try s economic growth. Higher production costs  prices will slow exports. Imports Are Likely to increase forcing the government to reach deep into its precious Gold Hoard. France is far from sinking into the dark Days of the fourth Republic when each Leader after his election had to pass the hat in foreign capitals to offset chronic deficits. Salaries have risen sharply since the Days of the fourth Republic 10 years ago but the Cost of jiving also has risen. While the bulk of the nation has attained unprecedented affluence several million of the nation s 50 million inhabitants gained the impression of having been left behind by the techno logical  estimated 1.8 million own their second residence or country Home. France Heads the list of Continental countries wit the largest number of privately owned automobiles 12,000,000.more than 26 million frenchmen go on vacation three to four weeks every summer. But while the mass of the nation shares in newly achieved Prosperity those who could no keep Pace with advancing affluence have been dumped into the growing Pool of unemployed. Thus France has the largest 20 nations coins will boost food Rome is special coins will be issued by about 20 nations this year to promote agricultural production and International development cooperation the  and agriculture Organiza Tion has announced Here. Through the Ages food an farming themes have been appearing on coinage but Accord ing to the Fao this will be the first time that a group of governments has decided to use such designs and descriptions Asa Means of trying to increase production.

Though this represents Only 2.5per cent of the working Force it is a very High figure by French standards. The technological unemployment has bred much of the anti government resentment and riot ing since Many of the unemployed Are Young people coming out of schools or dropouts. In a country where an archaic examination system had raised stiff barriers for College and High school graduates seeking employment the number Oyoung people rejected by the society has been larger than another european countries.
