Unemployment in France.

The article focuses on issues related to international relations. Stabilization of the franc has brought with it in France an unemployment crisis of exceptional severity. France, cruelly impoverished by the war and the heavy cost of rebuilding the devastated regions placed upon her as a result of Germany's long default, has nevertheless enjoyed for a certain period an illusory ease which, sooner or later, was bound to disappear. This artificial prosperity she owed to inflation. Even during the war, France was forced to issue an enormous amount of paper money to meet expenses which were essentially destructive and sterile from an economic point of view.
