Money Market
Paris, March 26,
| M. Robert Schuman, the French, Foreign Minister, said tonight that suggestions for a Franco- German economic union are still promature. An economic union cannot be attained before a certain degree of political understanding has been reached, M. Schuman said in a speech to the National Committee of the Popular Republican Movement.
Ger-
While stressing that there had been a rapid evolution in French policy towards many during the past 18 months, M. Schuman said: "We cannot skip any of the rounds in Franco-German relations.".
Observers here believe that these remarka were a reply recent suggestions by the West German Chancellor, Dr. Konrad Adenauer, for a Franco-German cconomic, union.

It is still too early perhaps to do away with the barriers bo- tween France and Germany, Mr. Schuman said, "We cannot evade the political problem by talking outy economics," he added.

GERMAN WAGE DEMANDS
Duesseldorf, March 26.
West Germany's 5,0000,000- strong Trade Union Federa-: tion will probably open a cam- paign for higher wages in the immediate future, Dr. Hans Boeckler, Chairman of the Federation, said here today.
Dr. Boeckler, who has opposed Indationary wage claims since the occupation, said that labour clr- cles felt that the expected drop of food and consumer goods pri- ces had not taken place. There fore, unions would probably ask for more pay for their members to restore the proper equilibrium between prices and wages.
The untons would present their caso with all the vigour at their disposal, he said.
Dr. Boeckler added that they their Views had already put
conference strongly at a' recent with the Economic Minister, Pro- fessor Ludwig Erhard.
They also claimed that the cost of Hving index used by the Guy- ernment did not present a true picture of the price structure.
The official cost of living index, 1038 as 100, was 154 for a taking working class family of four in February. This compared with the offeial figure of 188 for Feb- ruary last year.-Reuter,
