French Economic
Slowdown Studied
By Finance Head
Paris -(UPD- Government ex
perts today studied .signs of an
economic slowdown in France
which some feared could jeop
ardize Premier Charles de
Gaulle's plans for French
prosperity.
A slackening has been noted
in the industrial boom France
has enjoyed for the past few
years, and the work week has
been cut to 3 2 . hours in some
key sectors of the economy.
Special Meeting
Finance Minister Antoine
Pinay called a special meeting
Monday to examine the na
tion's credit situation.
Unemployment still is low.
Only 15,600 of the nation's
12.5 million workers drew un
employment benefits last
month, i
Sales of consumer goods and
other products have dropped
off this fall, however, leading
to cutbacks in production
schedules- and sharp reduction
of the work week in many
plants.
As a direct result, the mass
purchasing power of French
workers is heading downward,
threatening a chain-reaction of
still less buying which could
bring recession. . ' .
Pinay - was believed think
ing of relaxing credit restric
tions to stimulate consump
tion, much as the United
States did when it parried a
short-lived slump earlier this
year.
Experts here believe the
U.S. recession contributed- to
the French slowdown. Some
said the recovery sparking the
American economy may ease
the strain in France.
