French Agreement To Import Allied Goods
LONDON, Dec. 1.
France has concluded an agreement with the Allies to import 750,000 tons of goods as soon as French ports are working at full capacity, said the French Minister for Production (M. Lacoste).
Imports will include 700 locomotives and 400,000 bales of cotton which are waiting to be shipped from America. These imports will act as a very necessary blood transfusion while French industry is slowly picking up. The present French economic situation, in contrast to the pre-war period, is this: There is ten times as much currency circulating and twenty times fewer goods available.
