PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON", FRIDAY. MAY 27. 1938. E HEAVILY ON 1938 Livestock Effect of Cheap Franc and Special Visitors' Prices Stressed In Advertising to Offset Fears of War By Peter Rhodes United Prena 8taff Correspondent PARIS (DP) Acting to halt the threat to French tourist trade caused by war fears, the government hai Just decreed that special tourists' cards offering substantial reductions on ex penses will be continued this yoar. The cards entitle holders to 40 per cent reductions on railroad travel, 00 per cent for the purchase of gaso line, and progressive reductions on other general expenses. Prance will be aided In Its attempt to maintain tourist trade near the 900,000-level reached during last year's exposition by progressive deval nations of the franc which have doubled American and British tour ists' purchasing power in less than two years. The special prices are ex pected to bring 800,000 additional tourists to Prance this summer, checking off the normal decrease likely for the post-exposition season. Taking the 1038 total of 424,000, which waa the lowest since the war, authorities hope this year's total will xceed 700,000. Considered as Industry The tourist traffic Is an Industry to France, as was recently stressed by Prime Minister Daladler when he pointed out that the golden peak sea son of 1027 gave Prance a profit greater than gold production thruout the world In that year. Today the frano Is lower than at any time since 1027, when cheap living attracted an all-time high of 2.125,000 tourists, moat of then; from the United States. If It were not for war fears, the French believe thla summer would pass the million mark. . English and American tourists have Increased by at least SO per cent In the last year, according to 1037 sta tistics Just released. Possessing the busiest Atlantlo ports, Frsnce gets by far the largest number of tourists each year than any other country. Many whose main objective Is some ether country manage to pass at least one week here on their way. - Transatlantic lines reveal that the flow of passengers toward America has been higher this winter than usual. Boats which normally are half empty in the winter months were crowded and often .booked weeks In advance. Austrian Crisis Reflected ' The constant repetition of war rumors and the tension of recurrent European crises are held responsible for this situation. It Is noted here that following Germany's seizure of Austria then wss a tremendous rush for trans-Atlantic passage on big liners. ' Nevertheless, the French are hope ful for their tourist season. They trust that the favorable exchange will mar a visit to Franoe within the reach of many more American pocketbooks, and that the charm, cuisine, wines and pesoefulneas of provincial. Prance will be atronger than talk of war. Besides enjoying the role of hosts, the French roallr.o their budget constantly needs new revenue as expenditure for defense mounts. The maintenance of tourist trade would help them to bring It out of the red. ( World Tour on $100 ' LONDON (UP) Miss Mollle Toombs, SI, who owns a cycle shop at Middle ex.
