URGE TOURISTS TO VISIT FRANCE French See Big Help in Re construction "Working Coming From U. S. Paris, Dec. 3.—American tourists are being urged by the government to come to France. Hundreds of thousands of them, possibly a mil lion, are expected to bring here millions of dollars that will help to rebuild France. Aside from the idea of cementing the two nations' friendship through better acquain tanace, the tourist movement is re garded by those interested as a great new business enterprise immediately and immensely profitable and one that will grow. Incidentally, it is said, the coming of Americans who can afford European travel at its present cost will aid in the various forms of foreign financial aid France is seeking. A government department called the National Office of Touring was established recently to engineer a publicity campaign for foreign visi tors and to supervise service bu reaus to make tmvel pleasant and to prevent overcharging. An official corporation supported by railroads, hotels, travel agencies and others who profit by touring has been organized. It is the French Touring Company. Through it agents are being sent to the United States and elsewhere. Americans will be offered French railroad tickets, travel programs and similar information.

At your grocers THURSDAY EVENING, said 'the public fears the economic disturbances their coming might cause" in referring to the proposed visit of the much talked of "million Americans." It explains that "everything is already beyond reach in price and there is no room in the hotels. What will conditions be when it becomes necessary to lodge and feed these new guests who do not look at the cost of things?" To remedy such conditions, the governmental agency suggests that when heavy travel begins in April conditions will be more nearly normal. A definite plan to reserve rooms for coming tourists has been inaugurated already. All hotels in France, numbering about 25,000. have been asked to submit their rates and to pledge themselves not to charge more in the case of the government-conducted travellers. The lodging difficulties and the high cost of everything is recognised by all but it is believed a great flood of travel will come in spite of the cost. The government's aim is to see that travellers are not charged more than the information agencies estimate and that they are given benefit of advice and aid in making their stay in France entertaining.
