Section B
Direction: Read the following passage and then give
short answers to the five questions. Write your answers on
the Answer Sheet.
More attention was paid to the quality of production
in France at the time of Rene Coty. Charles Deschanel was
then the financial minister. He stressed that workmanship
and quality were more impor tant than quality for
industrial production. It would be necessary to produce
quality goods for the international market to compete with
those produced in other countries. The French economy
needed a larger share of the international market to
balance its import and export trade.
French industrial and agricultural production was
still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people,
let alone long-ranged developments. Essential imports had
stretched the national reputation to the breaking point.
Rents were tightly controlled, but the extreme inflation
affected general population most severely through the cost
of food. Food costs took as much as 80 per cent of the
workers income. Wages, it is true, had risen. Various
sorts of essential family needs and benefits were paid by
the state, and there was full-time and overtime employment.
Taken together, these factors enabled the working class to
exist but allowed them no sense of security. In this
discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work
overseas for higher wages.
The government was unwilling to let workers leave the
country. It was feared this migration of workers would
empty the labor force. The lack of qualified workers might
slow the improvement in the quality of industrial products
produced. Qualified workers employed abroad would only
increase the quantity of quality goods produced in the
foreign countries. Also the quantity of quality goods
produced in France would not be able to increase as part of
its qualified labor force moved to other countries.
