M. Pierre Foujade, 35-year-old feader of the antl-tax shopkeepers movement, was to- night invested with "presidential“ powers by bis supporters at a congress in St Cere,
The 400 delegates, representing 90 French departments have been meeting for three days In this small town of 9,000 people, the home town of M. Poujade.
In a speech concluding the congress, M. Poujade mid decisions taken at the congress almed at producing a national congress, representing all sections of the French nation.
The dealstons included formation of a national committee to work with "President" Poulade and to guide the activities of or- ganisations to be set up representing workers, ilberal professions, farmers and youth.
M. Poujade created a political sensation on Monday when he announced, at the open- Ing of the congress, that his movement would organise a nationwide consultation and would elect 3,000 to 4,000 delegates from all the French provinces.
