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.
