FRENCH STRIKE
SHIPS SAIL.
LOSSES ESTIMATED AT £13,000.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Paris, August 9.
The Champlain departed from Le Havre. Two hundred and forty British passengers embarked at Southampton. The Colombe and Lafayette also sailed. A French line spokesman estimates its strike losses at £13,000. The company will pay overtime compensating for the 3 per cent, wage cut. The Paris correspondent of The Times says: “The new decrees represent the most ambitious economic legislation that any French Government has undertaken. They will cover every aspect of the nation’s commercial life and involve wholesale interference by State mechanism in private commerce. “Even his opponents are impressed by M. Laval’s immense effort at reorganization. Though he may be accused of modelling the decrees on Fascism, actually he aims at saving France from Fascism and bankruptcy alike. The public reception of the decrees seems favourable.”
