MISS MARGARET NIT
CHELL, public stenographer
with Secretarial and Office
Services: mo, I'm always in
clined to put it off. l think
there's much to be said for
early Christmas shopping and
the peace of mind it must
bring. But. by the same token.
I think you miss some of the
Christmas spirit. The hustle
and hustle of crowds, the
Christmas decorations in the
shops and the Christmas
carols playing all add to the
excitement of Christmas
shopping. 1t must be nice to
have all your shopping tied
up by the first of October,
but l wonder if those far
sighted people ever think
of the excitement they miss
of tying up a present
in a taxicab on the way to a
party and wondering if you
will get the name on the tag
before you reach the door! I
believe there will always be
last-minute Christmas shop
pers because, subconsciously,
they like it that way"

HOW 1T HAPPENED
By JANE KOTTMEIER

That sooner or later
everybody comes to live or
visit in Washington is an
old adage.
Certainly hundreds Of
young women arrive here
every week despite the un-
glamorous misconceptions of
Washington's being a sorry
hunting ground. lacking in
entertainment and costing q
fortune.
The reasons for coming
here are as numerous as the
residents themselves. But it
can be safely estimated that
most come in search of indie
pendence, adventure and a
fascinating career.
How they got here and
what makes them stay is told
below by four of Washing
tons most attractive and en-
thusiastic young careerists.

Washington seemed like

Adding to inf1ationary pres

can keep the nations industrial
smokestacks hot TO, Gne dura-
ton of the Oil shortage
Trade Balance Crisis
When one examines the cur
rent French export-import bal
ance, however. one finds cause
for future concern.
! Even before Suez the situation
was not good. Gold and dollar
reserves had dropped from Sill
billion at the end of 1855 to $460
million in November of last year.
There was a steady drain of $50
to $40 million a month, partially
caused. some observers here
believe, by a deliberate govern
ment policy of increasing imports
to 30 per cent in excess of ex-
ports in order to keep domestic
prices down. At least, the effect
Of the heavy importation was
defiationary.
Now there will be an additional
drain of about 500 million in the
next few months to pay for
American oil. This is expected
to produce in the spring a bal
ance Of payments crisis not
previously anticipated before late
summer. And the crisis will
come when the whole French
economy Is in worse shape to
cope with 1t.
An export-import balance will
be hard to regain. French ex-
perts point out that the country
Is losing markets due to Suez
war dislocations and deteriorated
relations with Mideast customers.
Meanwhile there is expected to
be an increase in the cost of raw
materials, energy and trans
portation-all of which will make
it more difficult for France to
raise exports to a balance with
imports.
Cut in Imports
The short-term solution to
the problem will be to cut i'm
ports or borrow dollars. No one
here seems to want to borrow
from the United States, but
there is an expectation of a.
$262-million credit with the
International Monetary Fund
will be drawn on.
So presumably imports will
be cut. That means belt tight
ening by consumers, imitation
when competition from imports
diminishes and i'll will from the
worlds exporters who believe
Frances trade restrictions are
already too rigid.
Another short-term danger to
the economy lies in the loss of
