PRICE OF SURRENDER
NEARLY £6,000,000
FRANCE'S DAILY BILL
(Received February 1, 1.45 p.m.)
LONDON, January 31
Signs of inflation in France are appearing as a result of the desperate state of the public finances, says the Madrid correspondent of the "Daily Mail." . The Germany army of occupation costs £3,000,000 a day, and the Vichy Government requires almost the same figure to carry on its administration. France is thus faced with the necessity for providing between £5,000,000 and £6.000.000 a day when foreign trade is disrupted and hundreds of factories are working for Germany. Consequently there has already been a universal flight from the currency. .
