RAMADIER WARNS FRENCH
“ MUST ACCEPT EVERY SACRIFICE” (Rec. 7 p.m.) PARIS, March 30. Mr Ramadier, the French Prime Minister, in a speech, said that France could not repair all her war losses, which exceeded £12,500,000,000, within the space of a 'generation. “We were a rich country but to-day we are drained to the very bottom of our substance,” he said.
France would have to export all her textiles if she was to pay for the 110,000,000 bushels of wheat she must import in 1947. France in a bad harvest year normally imported only 36,000.000 bushels.
The French must accept eyery sacrifice if they were not to be caught in an economic tornado.
