FRENCH COLONIES
ECONOMIC CONFERENCE URGED
LONDON, March 23
The French. Government is considering plans for 'a national economic conference to prepare a programme of economic co-operation between France and her colonies, says the Paris correspondent of the Times. It will probably be held in May.
Though the idea was inspired by the Ottawa Conference, it will differ from it. as the French colonies already are r> single economic unit, without tariff’s directly administered from Paris, and use French currency.
The conference will deal mainly, with the co-ordination and redistribution of markets, and it is hoped to obtain economic self-sufficiency through a hotter regulation of trade. The colonies hitherto have been free to produce what they liked, and African wines in competition with French -are already the .subject of quotas. It is hoped that the conference will enable the colonies to make their agricultural industry complementary to the French.
