Why France Is Economically Strong

Trying to ferret out the reason why France, of all the major nations,
has no unemployment, but rather is importing 3,000,000 aliens to work in
her fields, mines and factories, Freeman Tilden writes in the World's Work
on “Why France is the Top-Dog.”

‘All the chimneys of French factories are smoking. Portuguese workers
have been imported in droves to supply the sHortage of labor. Italians armed
with picks and shovels follow Napoleon's trail over the Alps, in reverse
order. Three hundred thousand Poles were given jobs last year. There are
no doles, no Communists, no bread lines.

The findings run something as follows: Frenchmen are born marketers.
They waste nothing. They know how to stretch French paper to make the
two ends meet. Nothing is wasted.

Nor does this mean they have poor food. They furnish the chefs of
the world. They do not dress shabbily. They dress the world. But they

* dress themselves first

They buy for cash. They pay down in full for real estate. Not many
know what call money is. Margins are on printed pages only. High-powered
salesmen are an American institution. French cars seldom wear out carrying
heavy mortgages around. Every large business concern has its economat. |
Employees get good meals at cost. The s pi at
prices. Railway employees even get their coal and household supplies for a
third what others pay outside of the economat. Companies do not exploit
or commercialize their help. |

The Frenchman hardly knows what a robot is. Almost everything is | tary medals announced in the Lon-|

Here in America, in Canada as well as in the United States, every |
encouragement, indeed the most striking inducements, are held out to people
in all walks of life to buy on the instalment plan, rather than for cash. The
use of credit has become almost universal, not only for capital expenditures |
which is justifiable and proper if the borrowings are kept within reason,
and the capital expenditures to which they are devoted are of a revenue-
producing character, but for current expenses. People are urged to buy
not only necessities but luxuries on the credit plan, with payments spread |

over a term of months, or even years. The argument advanced is frequent- |
ly to enjoy these luxuries now and while you are paying for them, rather |
than to wait until you have saved sufficiently to pay for them outright. It |
is a fallacious argument, a fatal mistake to make.

Complaints are fairly general that the banks will not extend credit at |
the present time. Possibly, however, the mistdke by the banks in the past |
is that they extended too much credit too easily, coupled with the further
mistake that they demand too high a rate of interest and thus make it next |
to impossible for the borrower to ever get out of debt once he is landed in|
that position. Many a man, both city residents and farmers, have told the |
writer that having got into debt to the banks or mortgage companies they |
had a long uphill struggle to get out. They found themselves working for |
these financial corporations to meet interest charges rather than for them- |
selves. They vowed that once they got out of debt, they would never get in|
again, but rather would do without things until they could pay for them |
outright, tighten their belt if necessary, and carry on in the meantime. |

It is the man who is carrying a load of debt, paying heavy interest |
charges annually, possibly on no-revenue producing expenditures made in |
the past, who finds himself in real difficulty in times of business depression. |
Any little cash he can get must be paid out again to keep himself solvent |
instead of being available to carry him along until the tide turns again. But |
the man who has followed the Policy of “pay as you go,” who is free of |
debt, is the man who can most easily weather the storm. Such a man can |
“carry on,” but the man already heavily in debt finds himself in the predica-
ment of going in still deeper, and the final result is, all too frequently, that
he finds himself in an impossible position, so deep in fact that he can never |
get out.

Germany Is Replacing Beer Steins

Its Fruit Industry

| vray Prohibit Banana Imports So
| People Will Eat Home Grown
Fruit
| The State Legislature of California
is seriously considering the prohibi-
tion of the import of bananas. For
| why ? Not because the banana is
| grown in California and so the import
of the foreign-grown banana would
| interfere with the home-grown pro-
duct. The argument for prohibiting
the importation of bananas is in the
logic of the protectionist. The eatin,
|of bananas ag the protectionists of
| California see it, means less eatin,
|of peaches and other fruit grown
there. So the eaters of bananas
{have to curb their sinful appetites
when it comes to their favorite fruit.
To make it all the easier for them to
do this there are to be no more
bananas in California if the legisla-
| tors of California are to have their
| way.—Lethbridge Herald.
