WHAT FRANCE IS DOING ON U.S. INVESTMENTS
Editor's not: This is the sacond of a two-part series.
France could do incalculable damage to us and the entire
free world if her General de Gaulle decided to slap the lid
on our investments in France, to back out from tariff-cutting
negotiations, to lead a defiant movement toward European
nationalism and isolationism.
There's plenty of fear In the U.S. that she's turning
that way, in view of De Gaulle s veto of Britain s entry into
the Common Market In January and then his blast at U S
investments in France and Europe.
But happily, there's a vast gap between what France
could do and what she is doing and planning. Here s an
authoritative report.
Q. What actions against us has Franc Ukn so far?
A. France has made only one change in policy on out
side investors. This was a decree by De Gaulle in late Feb
ruary and It was aimed not Just at American oil interests
but at all private investments in the oil industry, including
French private Investments. The decree, designed to secure
a share in future oil markets for France's government-controlled
companies, put ceilings on share of future growth
in the French oil business for all concerned.
As an illustration, Esso's share will be held to 11.5 per
cent of the future oil market instead of the current 13.6
per cent. The net reduction of Esso and Mobil together the
two major U.S. oil companies In France will be only 3
per cent. Moreover, with Caltex owning a whopping 40 per
cent interest in one of the new French government-controlled
firms whose share will rise, our total loss in, the
future oil market will be less than a tiny 1 per cent.
Says a spokesman for Standard Oil of New Jersey, "We're
not worried about the French market one bit" and the
French decree "imposes no practical limitations" on French
Esso's business.
Says a U.S. Department of Commerce economist, "In
view of the extent of U.S. control in the French oil market
today (IS per cent), I'm amazed there hasn't been more
acrimony on the subject."
Q. What olhsr actions has Franca taken?
A. No action has been taken by the French against any
U.S. firm in France. No Investment application by an
American firm has been turned down. (Just recently, the
Investment programs of three large U.S. companies were
approved by the French.) No complaints have been received
by the U.S. Commerce Dept. from the American Chamber of
Commerce usually a goud barometer of the business cli
mule there. No basic change in France's policy toward Amer
ican investment Is anticipated, highly-placed French of
ficlals have told American fcmbassy economists.
Considered most encouraging Is the fact that at recent
Common Market sessions in Brussels, France cooperated with
the five other members in reaching liberal decisions on
tariffs applying to outsiders.
O. Why is Franc being so cautious after D Gaull's
outcries?
A. We arc France's fifth largest overseas market for
exports. Our Investments have helped raise her entire stand
ard of living, helped keep consumer prices down and modern
ize her factories. We have flat guarantees against nation
alization or expropriation of our subsidiaries, other bind
ing agreements for mutual protection In this vital area.
Q. So th considered U.S. view on French invsmnts is?
A. In an Economic Review to be published by the French
Desk of the Commerce Dept. In early May, the U. S. will
say officially, "Investment propositions arc still being con
sidered in a liberal manner" by the French. "Continued in
dustrial production growth, full employment at rising wage
levels with a resulting increase In Individual purchasing
power, a liberal trade policy setting new marks for both
Imports and exports, and a strongly reinforced financial
position al these and other factors combine to make France
a prime target for the sale of U.S. goods and a worthwhile
area for industrial and commercial investment."
Just in case this message doesn't get across, the U. S.
is sending Its first trade mission for commercial goods to
France in May to drum up new export business and Invest
ment opportunities.
To end with the cheerful conclusion of a Commerce
economise "We don't anticipate any trade war with France
or the Common Market. We do not regard the Investment
climate as cloudy. France continues to be an excellent market
for U.S. goods and our investment dollars."
their four children. I believe
they should be more compan
ionable toward me. I have no
one else to talk to.
Iris G. - We all lead busy
lives with full schedules. I'm
a Gray Lady at the local hos
pital and have asked Mrs. T.
to put in a few hours there.
But she'd rather sit and sigh,
and scold my husband and me
and the children for not drop
ping everything to play patty
cake with her.
Th Council: There's more
than a flight of stairs between
Mrs. T. and bliss. There's a
childlike dependence upon
others to fill In all the blanks
in her life. It's nice when a
companion fills in a few. But
it's up to Good Old Reliable
herself to learn the art of
living alone so that "compa
ny" is just a fillip and not
the life-scrum! . . . Loneliness
Is a state of mind. Iris is not
inflicting it on Mrs. T. Even
with a houseful of cousins in
her apartment, Mrs. T. could
feel lonely if she put her mind
to it. Actually Iris is being
helpful in trying to push Mrs
T. out of her self-erected pris
on. She shows Mrs. T. one
way to banish her own blues,
namely by lightening someone
else s. . . . For anyone witn
two good feet, hands, and
eyes, there s no end to the
services waiting to be per
formed for other human be
ings who lack them. Mrs. T.
can feed children, cuddle ba
bies, wheel chalrbound pa
tients, write letters, read
aloud ... By a strange al
chemy, she'll become a more
attractive person herself, one
of the folks downstairs will
seek to be with. For she'll
stop banging on her two fa
vorite drums called Cruel-cruel-world
and Poor-poor-
me.

peacefully with the West.
In a brief statement mark

of peaceful coexistence, which
lias come under bitter attack
from Communist China.
Khrushchev said such a

under scien
tific attack
today. If dis
tillers aren't
willing to fil
ter them out,
they should be
oeios smith compelled to
do so by law, said Dr. Morris
E. Chafetz of Harvard and di
rector of the famous alcohol
clinic of Massachusetts General
Hospital, Boston.
Chemically these ingredi
ents are fusel oil, a variety of
acids, esters, aldehydes, fur
fural and tannins. Distillers
call them "congeners," mean
ing things which arc "allied
by origin, nature or function"
to other things.
Chafetz called them "im
purities'' and he characterized
many of them as poisonous.
"The toxic effects,'1 he said,
"are exerted by the slowing
down of the rate of metabol
ism of alcohol, thereby en
hancing undesirable side ef
fects.
Slower Recovery Rale
"Most contemporary inves
tigators agree that beverages
with high congener content,
when contrasted with those of
low content, affect adversely
the rate of alcohol's disappear
ance from the body. This re
sults in a slower rate of recov
ery from intoxication, more
severe hangover effects, di
minished motor response,
poorer judgment and decrease
of learned skills."
He maintained the congen
ers could easily be removed
from whiskies and brandies,
and used vodka as an exam
ple of how it could be done.
"Modern research has yet
to improve upon the method
of activated charcoal for fil
tering purposes," he contin
ued, "This process was de
veloped at the turn of the 10th
century by the Russian chem
ist, Smirnoff. In the United
States today the most com
monly available vodka is fil
tered through activated char
coal which apparently results
in a distilled spirit containing
far less harmful side effects
than any other distilled prod
uct." He spoke at a symposium
on alcoholism in Newark, N.J.,
sponsored by the Academy of
Medicine of New Jersey and
the New Jersey Stale Depart
ment ot Health. He said his
viewpoint was that "of pri
mary prevention of alcohol
ism. Obligation To Consumers
"We believe tile distilled
spirits industry lias an obliga
tion to its consumers, and to
the medical profession which
must treat the problem of al
coholism, to 'clean up' its
beverages. We believe that as
a public health measure the
distilled spirit industry must
reduceand reduce drastically
-the toxic congeners now
present in most forms of dis
tilled spirits."
Whiskies and brandies
wouldn't have to taste like
vodka, he said. "The smell,
lasle and appearance of the
different types of beverages
could be maintained by sub
stituting non-toxic flavoring.
