SLUMP IN HOTELS
French Owners Concerned STATE AID ASKED The falling-off in tourist traffic has created so serious a situation for the French hotel Industry that it has appealed for State aid. M. Maurice Prevel, president of the Chambre Nationale de I’Hotellerie Francaise, which represents the greater part of the country’s hotel industry, has had a conference with M. Gourdeau, Under-Secretary for Public Works and Travel, to whom he suggested that the most practical way to help the tourist industry wotild be sor the State to abate taxation and give substantial assistance to the hotels. M. Prevel suggested that the State should take over the superfluous hotel buildings throughout the country and convert them into offices for governmental or other use. He also suggested that the special taxation levied on the hotel industry should be abated. Only such measures, he said, could solve the problem.
