Laos and Wet Nam
AssaiI French for
DeVa|uing Money
BY The Associated Press

SAIGON, Indo- China, May IL.
Laos Joined Wet Nam today in
protesting French devaluation of
the plaster. Wet Nam sources
predicted it would Skyrocket
prices 80 or 40 per cent and cause
grave internal difficulties.
Both Laos and Wet Nam de-
clared France had not consulted
with them prior to yesterdays
action reducing the value of the
1ndo- Chinese plaster from II
francs (4.9 cents) to 10 francs
20 centS). France took the step
to smash a black market cur
rency racket involving piasters.
francs and dollars which cost
France an estimated $3.50 mil
lion year.
A government spokesman in
Paris said all three Indo- Chinese
states had been informed of the
contemplated step. Cambodia is
the third state.
Wet Nam Premier Nguyen Van
Tam said the first result of the
devaluation would be an imme-
diate rising of prices.
Saigon Shaken and Angry.
Special police patrols were or
ganized to cope with any violence
in Saigon, shaken and angry
over the devaluation.
An immediate reaction was on
the black market, where the dol
lar rate shot to one for 80 piaS-
ters, compared with the legal
rate of one for 20 and the pre-
devaluation rate of one for so.
A communique from lie Van
Hoach. minister of information.
denied the decision had been
taken after consultation with the
Wet Nam government.
Premier Tam said he had
rushed an official complaint to
Jean Letourneau, French resi-
dent minister.
Premier Tam said the devalua-
tion step would stop the money
black market only temporarily
for before long the real value
of the plaster will fall to four
or five francs and that will open
the way to new possibilities for
trafflcking"
Air of Panic Prevails.
There was an air of panic in
business and commercial circles
here today, with little or no
transactions being made. Police
cracked down on at least two
food stores, one of which re-
bused to sell anything. The other
had raised its prices 20 per cent.
Premier Tam said the Wet
Nam authorities would inventory
food stocks and make an effort
to keep price rises within bounds,
for if prices get out of hand the
consequences will be disastrous
and will serve the interests of
Wet Mimi propaganda"
The French government said
the devaluation had been carried
out under the Pau treaty with
the Associated Indo- Chinese
States - Wet Nam, Laos and
Cambodia. This permits France
to modify the current fate after
consultation with the three
states. The French said they
had contacted the native gov
ernments shortly before the de-
ciSion was made. Obviously,
Premier Tam thought the notice
had been too short.
Fabulous Profits Made.
The wide difference between
the previous official value of the
plaster and its worth of eight
francs on the black market has
allowed many persons to make
fabulous profits through cur
rency purchases and transfers to
France
Critics charged that many of
the funds smuggled in found
their way into hands of the
Communicated Wet Mimi rebels,
who purchased arms for their
fight against the French.
The French expected the de-
valuation to cut the cost to them
of their war in Indo-China.
