FRANCE’S BIG LOSS
EFFECT OF STRIKES PARIS, Dec. 11. As France returned to work on Wednesday after the three weeks’ strike the Government began to count the cost. The figure of £200,000,000 is mentioned as a rough estimate of the loss to France’s national economy, says the Daily Telegraph’s correspondent in Paris but no real assessment can be made for months. The Prime Minister, M. Robert Schuman, in a broadcast speech last night in which he declared war on black market profiteers, said it would be intolerable if the workers, after saving the country from disorder, were to be victims of traffickers or speculators. “With the workers, the Government has held out against the saboteurs of work and, with the workers, it will lead an implacable fight against the saboteurs of the country’s food.”
