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 important than quantity for industrial production.It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international markets to compete with those produced in other countries.The French economy needed a larger share of 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 credit 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 percent of the worker's income.Wages,it is true,had risen.Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state,and there was fulltime 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 that migration of workers would reduce the labor force.The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced.Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries.Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its ualified labor force moved to other countries.
