PARIS, Wednesday. France is alarrned at the prospect >f a British ban on luxury imports because Great Britain is lier great?st eustomer, hnving last year absorb?d approximately £50,000,000 worth of Frcnch exports, half of which v/ere 'uxui'y goods. There is another side to the picture, however, because in "event of France retaliating, £41,000,000 worth of British exports will be badly hit, ineluding £1,750,000 worth of Australian wool. The newspapers voice alarm in no uncertain terms and point out that the moment when France came so ••eadily to the aid of Great Britain in the way of credits» it is not the time to heavily handicap her exports.
