Les Faibles; An Inflation Tragedy
g BY ROSETTE HARGROVE
# NEA Staff Correspondent
% PARIS.— (NEA)—A million and a quarter French peo
gle are listed on the country’s official registers today as
“les economiquement faibles” —the economically weak.
They are the men and women over 65 whom inflation has
&'fiuced to the extremes of poverty, often after 40 years
‘work.
/¢ And all over France, the “petite
. b rgeoisie” —the middle classes
—have begun to organize. They
have formed a national committee
embracing federations of small
landowners, one-man business
froprietors, architects, artisans,
awyers and chemists, with a
membership of a million.
Because their varied interests
are often unsuited to join action,
m may have a hard time de
ending their cause. But their
leaders do not consider the cause
is dost, for there is one common
* sinferest among these middle class
groups: Not to end up, at 65, by

economically weak,
‘Two World Was, plus inflation,

France in this position. By exer

ate income.
Inflation has turned the dream
into an economic nightmare. To
be classed as “economically weak”
means an annual income of no

. Madrid, Vienna, Budapest.

of inflation-torn France.
more than S2OO per person, or
$330 per couple. This is the new
| “liberalized” figure which is ex
pected to increase the list of eco
nomically weak to more than two
million, all of whom are entitled
to 1200 francs a month (abgut $4)
in government assistance.
It makes little or no difference
whether these people once invest
ed their savings in property or in
Government Bonds. If dependent
on rentals, they have had to face
a cost of living multiplied by 100
since 1920 and 20 times since 1938,
while rental laws until recently
have permitted increases of only
five to 10 per cent.
Rents are to be jacked up some
where around 33 per cent at the
beginning of 1949, with a compli
cated computation of living space,
height of ceiling, position, and so
on which nobody seems to under
stand, least of all the landlords.
Generally speaking, rents were so
low in France that today a man
easilv spends two or three times
for tobacco in a week more than
he pays his landlord.
ituere are hundreds of thou
sands of old people in France who
own the homes in which they live,
but who face slow starvation on
pitifully small incomes. Reluc
tantly they are obliged to sell
prized pieces of furniture and
jewelry. Antique shops have nev
er been so well supplied nor so
busy; people who have money are
investing their francs in antiques,
while the ex-owners are forced
to enroll on the lists of the eco
nomically weak.
A life annuity was another for
mula much in favor with the
French before inflation. A person
of independent means who after
World War I derived an income
of 15.000 francs a vear (once the
equivalent of S3OOO but now bare

ly SSO) could live* very comfort
ably. Today, a couple spends that
much in a month just to keep
body and soul together.,
For those who invested all their
savings in the Government, the
State has been obliged to step in.
Such people over 65 and whose
yearly income lis below 100,000
francs. No provision has been
made for persons drawing anui
ties from private sources.
The cost of food in France
thirty, even twenty years ago was
admittedly low, which explains
the small annuities. In 1918, a 10~
franc note bought 50 pounds of
bread. Ten years ago it would still
buy six pounds, while today it
buys a little over one-half pound.
Workers fare better, although
their wages keep getting behind
prices. If they have children, how
ever, they benefit by family allow
ances. Three of four children un
der 14 means SSO to S6O a month
extra. Under the State system,
workers get free medical care and
unemployment benefits. They also
get two to four weeks vacation
with pay and are ensured a mod
est pension. Fi?ally,, their rentals
are incredibly low.
The farmer is the biggest win
ner, and he represents nearly half
of the 40 million Frenchmen. His
standard of living was never so
high. He now eats meat every day
whereas before once or twice a
week was the maximum- which
is said to be part of the season
meat is so expensive to city dwel
lers. No Government has yet
dared tax the farmer, nor compel
him to deliver his goods to the
markets.
“Economically weak” aged peo
ple are not the only big sufferers.
The middle classes — especially
fixed salary white-collar groups—
are finding it hard to make eprs
meet. They cannot escape taxa
tion, since their employers deduct
it from their pay. The position of
the middle classes,as well as pro
fessionals such as doctors, dentists
and engineers, become less and
less enviable as more industry is
nationalized and social insurance
schemes are extended.
New Telephone
Directories
Delivered Here
A new telephone directory for
Athens, containing many new
and changed listings and other
helpful telephone information,
has just been distributed.
Approximately 8,036 new di
rectories have been delivered to
homes and offices, according te
C. M. Eberhart, district manager
for the Southern Bell Telephone
Ccempany. 4
The new directory has a green
cover, which makes it easily dis
tinguishable from the old grey
covered telephone book.
Mr. Eberhart asks .that tele
phone users reier to the new di
rectory for the desired number.
Looking up the number helps
avoid the possibilily of getting a
wrong number, and @ frequently
saves time for the caling party as
well as. the party who might be
called in error. Consulting the
directory alse helps make the
best use of already crowded cen
iral cffice equipment. “Informa
tion” should be called only when
the desired number is not listed
in the directroy.
The directory includes the clas
sified section — yellow pages—
containing helpful information
converiently arranged as to
types of businesses and services.
OLD KNIT CLOTHES
If old knit clothes cannot be
used to make other garments, they
can be put to good use for clean
ing house and furniture and for
polishing cloths. ¢
