Brazil's Foreign The French Spend Exchange Position

Is Still Critical

Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 12. Brazil's foreign exchange position is as critical today as it was before Senhor Oswaldo Aranas, the Minister of Finance, Instituted his radical reforms and trade controls last October.

The price of coffee, which is the mainstay of the country's dollar sources, has risen so high since May that exports to the United States have dropped to the lowest level recorded in years,

Germany, which had been buying large quantities for re-sale to the United States, haa reduced purchases and is likely to continue to do so.

A Month O Counting Heads

Paris, Aug. 12.

French people spent most of the month May 1954 counting themselves, and civil servants, aided by elaborate machinery, will spend the next 17 months working out the results.

From May 10 onwards, 80,000 enumerators, chosen from town hall staffs and paid at plece rates, distributed 600 tons of white, green and pink forms to an estimated 13,000,000 householders! By May 80, all the forms had to be collected, and on May 20 a special check was made at hotels to count anyone who might have been missed else where.
