PROSPEROUS FRANCE
SIGNAL GOOD FORTUNE LITTLE UNEMPLOYMENT (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Thursday. Since the autumn of 1921 France has enjoyed among European nations signal—perhaps even unique—economic good fortune, reports Mr. J. R. Cahill. British Commercial Counsellor at Paris. Except for a slight check for a few months in 1927. he continues, France has experienced a period of most pronounced commercial and industrial prosperity. Her output has been limited only by the shortage of labour, to meet which 1,500,000 foreign workers have been imported. A fresh outburst of prosperity has been witnessed in the present year, says Mr. Cahill. The total number of persons receiving unemployment relief in September was less than SOO. The recovery of Alsace-Lorraine has brought immense wealth to France. Aided by the German reparation payments in kiud, moreover, she has vastly improved her railways, road communications, ports, canal equipment, hydraulic .power-stations, and long-distance cable lines. Also she has restored her devastated areas.
