WAGG I~~Ct MAY rOaCG DCVALUATION
Stockholm VIiCKANS A~r1~R1:R in Stvc:dish 29 Mar 79 ~P 37-3~
~'i'exC~ Col~enhugen (V~CKANS ACFXRI:R) --The government warned of a sizable
devalu,ltion of the Danish kronc l;,ter in thc year, when thc Folketing on
� IVcdncsday of this week voted through a new 10-year agreement providing for
annual wage increases of 10 to 11 ~~ercent . Accordi n~; to tlie government's
economists this.gives a real wlse incre:ise of 2 ~~ercc�nt a year to LO [Danish
(~edcr~tion of Trade Unions] meml~ers, but inderendct~t Danish economists ~rc
surc that the wage increase at the end o.f. thc summcr wi.ll be eaten up by a
considerable tightening up of fina~icial policy and a devaluation of the
I)anish kronc, which fol lows the D-ma-rk [of the FRG] .
'fhc automatic feature of thc panish wagc system means that even a mere ex-
tens.ion of thc agrecment will providc wage increases of 7 to 8 percent a
year. 'i'he semiannual wage adjustment in accordance with the price index
is exrected to bring about annual wage incre ases of 4.5 percent, and to this
must be added u wage escalation of about 3 percent. T~ao days longer paid
vac:ation in 1J80 and another three in 1981 cost the employers 2.5 percent,
whilc the extra pay for overtirre, etc., means an extra nutlay of 1.8 percent.
tiVithout an economic tightening up, the b alance of payme~~ts deficit this
yeat� will go up at leust 8 billion Danish kroner. The employers think that
thc wagc agrecment will incrcase unemployment, w}~ich now amounts to
. 19U,()OU, i,y anot}~er 14,OQ0 over 3 years. The L0, on the other hand, is
counting on employment's increasing by 25,000 as a result of the inc~~ased
vacation.
'11ie ~;overnment coalition between the Social Democrats aTi~i the Liberal Party
lia.ti tlir clear objective of reducing ths deficit in the balance of payments
:incl reducing foreign debt by 58 billion Danish kroner. Since the MOMS
(v:il ue ~dcled tax] is al ready a good 20 percent and the excise taxes on
:iutomobiles, lic~uor, and cigarettes are among the highest in the world, in
the o~iinion of tl~e cxrcrts thc govcrnment has no other way out but to de-
valuc ttic kronc, wl~ose exchangc rate is considered to be about 15 percent

MITTERRAND FUTURE VIEWED IN LIGHT OF LATEST ELECZ'IONS
Paris PARIS MATCH in French 6 Apr 79 pp 52-53
LArticle by Arthur Cont)
L~ex) What can we learn of what the future may hold in store
for us from the latest ~~ection returns?
Th~ first lesson is that the ma~ority received a sharp warning
from the nation~ a warning that it would be unwise to ignore
or forget. It was a defeat for the ma3ority. Of course~ it
was no~ as ba~ as it might hrve been. The social climate is -
so difficult~ and informatir.,n was handled so badly that the
Elysee could have done much worse. Still~ it is a fairly
harsh blow.
~
The second lesson is that the president still seriouslf lacks
a large~ hi~h~.y organized~ and deeply based party. He has
been working under this handicap since early in his 7.-year
term. But the efforts which have been made to correct this
situation have obviously been inadequate. What he has is
more like a set ~f social clubs than a combat formation. The `
c~nly advantages he can makE+ use of are those dratvn from his
o~?~n wisdom or his courage. T;, he~ him~ he has in essence
or,ly a sort of strengthened MRP LPopular Republican .~Iovemen).
This is very far from the artillery~ the tanks~ and the avia-
tion support that will Y:~.?re to be found if he seriously wants
to face the harsh years of t~:e 1980s. So for him tnis must
be pr~.ority number c^~: to find both in the party lead~rship
and in the party base the captains~ lieutenants~ and a::~ve
all~ the sergeants~ who are all so terribly missing.

The third lesson is that the presidont must be protected more
securely than he is now. Either he s~ands too much out in
. the open, or he~is left ~oo exposed. Th3.s is both dangerous
and unh~althy. While this election was in reality more of a
local than a national contest that cou1.d in no way over~tux~n
the country~ we saw too many direet hits against the French
prQSident. More attention wi11 have to be paid to protecting
him from such risks, if they really want to preserve the
spirit and equillbrium of a constitution which has the 3.n-
comparable merit of savin~ us from an Italian-style anarchy.
As the fourth lessun, some people would like to add that the
president himself is too imprudent~ as for example when he
sent his son and son-in-law into the political arena. But such
a complaint does not hold. water. It was actually very pleasing
that Henri G3scard d'Estaing~ with a11 his young man's sin-
cerity~ agreed to draw to himself the shots aimed at his
father. After ~11, he gav2 up a lot to do this; in any poli-
tical undertaking~ most of what you get is~ as Harry Tluman
used to say~ "a lot of ripe tomatoes and rotten eggs." As
this young man obviously has a passion for politics~ he de-
serves a great deal of credit for agreeing to be mixed up in
this sort of clash.
The fifth lesson is that~ as we have often predicted in
previous articles~ the Communist Party has fully recovered
its control ot" its resources and its strengths. The games
- of some of its super-intellectuals on the party fringes are
meaningless. The c~xpectation of the socialists that they
would make the Communist Party's.share of the votes decline
to 15 percent was only a fantasy. So obviously~ Georges
Marchais has in no way given up his fundamental strategy�
to s~rike his harshest blows against the Socialist Party;
to have as his number one ob~ective to break the Socialist
Party; to accept a union of the left only as a purely vote-
getting alliance or as a last resort; to only make use of
the Popular Front in order to prepare for a National Front
once the Socialist Party is destroyed; and to grant no
respite in this undertaking. Let's make no mistake about
it: in the months to come~ Georges Marchais will go after
Francois Mitter~^and more harshly than ever. One would have
to be incredibly naive to believe in the seriousness of what
is called the Union of the Lefts. Despite some appearances
to the contrary~ this is now only a dead myth.

FOR OP"I~'ICI'AI, 115L pNl,Y
The sixth Ieason is ~hat the socialis~s~ by obstinately refusing
any change in strategy~ are fatally blocking any chances of
bringing about a change in the system. Obviously~ once more~
they may wel~. be tempted to show off their laurels. For~ by
l.in~ng up the best candidates and by knowing how ~o attract
to these candidates the most varied and contradictory forms
of discontsnt~ they got the most clearcut victory. The ma
legitimately be pleased by this~ even if they must start getting
accustomed to winning a11 the s~condary battles and losing all
the ma~or races. In any event~ they are going to have a mass
of general advisers who will provide them with extremely valu-
able support in all the coming battles. And it is ~ust as
true that any observer must concede that the soci~list message
sti11 keeps its power. And yet~ for a11 this it is no less
true that the most serious part of the problem lies here: the
party has won a battle~ but without a strategy. It has seen
it5 legions carry off a victory~ but without a coherent party
line. And this was the source of the impression everybody
received of the extraordinary confusion reigning on election
night~ Sunday evening. Politically~ France sees only dimly
where it is going because the Socialist Party does not know
where it is going. So this is the question of questions:
where is Francois Mitterrand in all this?
,
Between 1958 and 1978~ his strat~gy was fairly clear.
In reality~ it was based essentially on two convictions and on
two assumptions. The first~ conceived at the time of General
de Gaulle's return to power on 13 May 1958~ was that the Fifth
Republic would only last for a few years, and that General
de Gaulle would collapse~ crushed by problems~ somewhat like
Marshal P,~tain. "You have ~ust voted for Vichy~" Nitterrand
sadly told Guy Mollet who had ~ust announced his support for
the general's return. Not without courage~ he waged his
"war of honor" against the new republic and its leader. He
never gave up.
The second conviction was a sort of rather Ga11ic gamble. At
the age of 43 in the fu].1 bloom of his vigor~ his ambition~
and his talen~~ he found himself the only man in the center
left capable of holding high the flag of the democrats against
Gaullism. Pierre Mendes-France himself seemed to be out of
the picture; he only recovered some years later~ and anyway~
since the war he had felt a dev~~tion for General dE Gaulle
that was as discreet as it was deep. Mitterrand found that
he alone could be Mr Anti-de-Ga~~lle. He felt he had both

~he strength and the resources for this~ and his whole campajgn
did keep the mark of a certain personal adventurism. Let's not
- make any mistake: Mitterrand's greatest pleasure will have been
to have challenged de Gaul.le~directly~ one against one~ in the
1965 pre siden~ial elections.
As to th e assumptions~ they were ~ust as claar.
The firs t came from the "historic" lessons that hP thou~ht he
could dr aw from the post-Stalin period. Considering
Khrushch ev~ he said Lo himself that a new Russia was being
born. Khrushchev~ in testimony of his "universal good wi11.~"
had ~ust turned ovar Port Arthur to the Chinese~ had asked
Tito's pardon had agreed to evacuate Austria (wtith the sole
condition tha~ l~ienna would remain neutral and wou7.d ~oin
neither bloc)~ and had begun a ma~or two-pronged caspaign~
against the personality cult "in the party~" and also in favor
of ttiie highly touted pro~ect of "softening up marxism."
~ven if the memory of Budapest still rankled~ and in the
shadows shed by the sinister Berlin Wall~ there could still
be a gre at temptation to believe in the policy of destaliniza-
tion and then to imagine that this would carry the Soviet
party ve ry far along the route towards "socialism with a
human fa ce." Mitterrand believed this; or at least he said
he belie ved it. In any event~ hie whole gamble~ even in the
area of domestic politi~s~ was unthinkable without such a
belief.
The second assumption was derived from the first. Since the
Soviet party would evolve in a gooa direction~ the same would
happen to the French CQmmunist Party. So a democrat~ even
one who said he was not a marxist~ could ~oin it without fear
or regret~ in order to defeat the Gaullist usurpers. The
French Communist Party was quickly found to be a party like
any othe r party, one even capable of governing loyally with
other parties. An alliance with it no longer pxesented any
sort of danger. On the contrary~ working with it~ becoming
friendly with it~ could only lead the Communist Party to `
greater friendship~ confidence~ and loyalty. Mitterrand
remembe red a saying of the American write.r, Emersan~ that
Franklin RoosevElt liked to quote: "If you want to have a
good friend~ be a good friend yourself." By maintaining an -
exemplary frienship with the communists~ the socialists would
soon call forth an ~identical loyalty from them.

A11 ~he Niitterrandist a~rategy for 20 years came fxom these .
four gambles: the all.iance "to the death" with the communists~
Mitterr and's spectacular enmmitment to the socialist ideal~
the frenz3.ed campaign against all the forces and a7.1 the forms
of Gaullism~ the agreement with the communis~s on a~oint~
highly collectivized government program~ the refusal to enter
into or even consider any other alliance outside of the
'~Union of the Left," and the total basing of the entire _
French left on this sole and unyiel.ding cal.culation. We know
very well what happened to the four gambles and to the entire
strategy.
First of a11~ the Fifth Republic showed it~ was stronger and
lasted 1.onger than expected.
Next~ Mitterrand never succeeded in portraying himself with
the stature of a giant. Neither a"hero" in the de Gaulle
style nor a"prophet" in the style of Leon Blum, observers
even ~hose who w~re di~mayed by it quickly found that he
did not: measure up to the 1eve1 of "History," nor could he
by him:~elf carry off a dazzling personal adventure.
Furthermore~ Brezhnev showed himself to be no less of a
stalin~..st than Stalin himself.
And finally~ it was soon learned that the Communist Party was
only pl.aying its own hand~ with its everlasting scorn for
"social democratic puerilities."
The great dream~ already severely damaged by September 1977~
~ split npart one fine evening in March 1978 when Georges
l~iarchai.s ~ with an unprecedented violence ~ destroyed the Union
of the Left and with it~ all of Mitterrand's plans.
Of course~ it seems clear that Francois Mitterrand still
believ~s in his star. The conviction of being chosen by
destiny may rema3n strong within him. Even though he is now
being slowed down by age and he can no ].onger be as impetuous
as he was 20 years ago~ he seems to be hale and hearty. And �
he was in great form on Sunday evening. ti~1e can recognize the
force o.f his ambition from the energy he is using in preparing ~
for his May congress and for the Metz congress, and in defeat-
ing Michel Rocard. In the depths of his being~ he needs a
lot of energy and conviction to undertake his present trip
- through his sections and federations~ an exhausting round
through out the country. Furthermore~ we may well believe
that the conviction of still being ~ole to assume a national

- dest~.ny is st~.ll deeply rooted in him. To be convinced of -
this~ we need only recall tha force of his television appear-
ance on Sunday evening. Mi~terrand, who traditionally spends
election evenings at his home at Chateau-Chinon~ this time
left up to no other socialist outside of his friends Claude
Eetier and Gaston Defferre the ~ob of interpre~ing the
el.ection results on television. Undoubtedly he remembered
- too clearly the time he gave M3.che1 ~Ro card the ~ob of de-
livering a brilliant speech during the iast round of the legis-
lative elections. On Sunday he totally "wiped out" Rocard~
and people such as Mauroy or Chevenement. He wanted to appear
in person on the three TV channels~ TF 1~ A 2~ and Fr 3. Then
on Monday morning he gave his opinions in person on the radio
networks. This is.the action of a man who st~ll believes in
hims elf .
His conviction of the precariousness of the Fifth Hepublic has
now yielded to another conviction, one ~ust as strong: the ~
fragility of the president. Just as r:itterrand in 1958 was
convinced that Genera.l de Gau11e would not last long in power~
so may he think the same.of V.alery G.i.scard d'Estaing in 1979. ~
Let's even be sure that he feels that not only will Giscard
~ot have any chance of running in 1981~ but even that Giscard
will collapse before 1981. So now he is counting on Chirac~
sa;~ing to himself that Jacques G'hirac~ if the Gaullists come
near 20 percent in the European elections, will manage to
have Giscard censure d? then to have the National Assembly dis- _
solved, and even to schPdule presidential elections earlier
than planned. He may even be flirting with the idea that
Giscard might resign. In any event and we are somewhat
underestimating the role of Raymond Barr~ Mitterrand is
convinced that there will be a ma~or political crisis in the
year to come. This is obviously a conviction that illuminates
as many hopes and plans as did his conviction in 1958� ,
But the situation of the Communist Party is quite d~~fferent.
On one hand~ no matter wha~ changes take place in Russia~
the leaders wYio succeed Brezhnev will impose a first phase
that will necessarily be an ultra-Stalinist period~ which
will last for some years. Logically we have to think that
if Russia one day sheds its Stalinis~ uniform~ it will not do
, so before 1985. That will come too late (if it ever cames)
to help Mitterrand's plan to succeed. ~
On the other hand~ the position of the French Communist Party
vis a vis the social ists can no longer leave any room for
doubt. Georges Marchais has in fact declared an unrelenting
war on Francois Mitterrand~ and Francois Mitterrand is the

first to realize that a communist par~y's campaigns are never
short. There is even a strong case ta be made that Mit~erran~3
_ personally wi11. never again receive the support of communist
_ voters in a presidential election. Dialectically~ histor3cally~ �
he is the last s~cialist for y;i;.om the c~mmun3.sts will vote.
And that may well bar Mitterrt~nd's way. He can persist in
sticking to the Commuri3.st Party~ he may ber~r with infinite
patience blow after blow~ and he may ~wear by a11 Yiis gods
his "unitar~.an" sincerity, yet he can not ignore himself the
inexorable trqp in which he is caught. Niarchais's eye has a
terrible m,alics when it rests on Mitterrand: the eye of a
hunter or a poacher who Y:olds his pr.ey.
So Mitterrand is le#'t with no strategy at all or to be more
exact~ he is left a prisoner ~f a bafl strategy, and apparently
incapable of changing it~ at l.east until the next congress.
~ But there is also a totally obscured national policy~ and
above a11~ it is impossible for the president to make use of
an "alternation" which would in many respects be quite re-
freshing and salutary.
And this is the seventh and final. ma~or lesson of this strange
caxnpaign which essentially brought a~braken majority into
battle and for which a11 the givens were falsified from the
beginning. Here we have a general political situation wlth
no other immediate solution but te rely on the experience
now in progress~ with all the variables it may include. In
such a case~ we have to say that for the present majority~
no other political wisdom is possible but to tigh.ten ranks
around the prime minister~ who is more often mistreated by
his allies or his pseudo-friends than by his most real class
enemies. A.nd the cantonal elections~ after all~ will have
brought about no change in the course of our rivers.
Unless Mitterrand is concealing some surprise up :~is sleeve~

But if We eliminete thia truly Mrevolutionary~' hypothesis and assua~ that the
maintenance o! our preaent atanderd nnd way of lfving :~equires the maintenance
of a lArp~e tioW of lmporta, end theretore a compensating floa of exports~ I
contest the ~~explosive~~ vlew developed long ago by o~tr liberal governmenta:
this !s the logic o! Che "13th" month ot exPorts !n 1973. Accor.ding to thfs
idea, the exponenClal groWth o! lmports is an lntenglble quantity; conee-
quently, the only salvntion ia to be tound in an indefinlte grrn?th fn exports
at the aame rste. Noi?~ this i� a dangernus, coatly~ end taise vies;. It ia
denqeroua, from the purely loglcei point of vieM, because the ~'time ot a
linfCe world" Wlil arrives the markete of the neW countries and the Eestern
countriea cannot be extanded indQtinitely, conaidering the competition amonR
all the lndustrieliced counCrie� that are exploring the commerciai prospects,
and tNelr o~m development.
This exploaive aolution is alao expensive, because the real "exceas coet" of
the sale o! a frnnc tor distant export, with long stays in Oriental attte-
chambers (including tlps)~is much hlgher than the temporery marginel coat of
e balancing aubsidy granted to a lame duck during the tlme necessary for !ts
rec:3nverslon. Ffnaliy~ Che exploaive salution is lalse becauae France can, at
thra price ot �erloua pl~nning that !s aimply but truly atimulating,quickly
r+cover part of its i~ternal market and develop substitutes tor the expensive
imports on its o~m soil. illthout Nanting to reduce the French to a Chinese

neces8ary rasourcea to adapt. IC hse already done so. It can chenge lnto
enother claas syatem~ ,~ust as oppre~sive !or those aho ere not in power.
The Kaynesian revolution ia capitalism~s adeptaCion to e structural chenge
in !ts induatrlel base. This haa gone from large pieces of besic equipment
to consumer inclustries. In order for the chenge to succeed, e profouad change
in the living conditions of the salaried Workers had to take glace. Thia aes
~'Fordlsm.~' The generel theory is the loglcal expression of the nea, inev-
iCable operating rules of the syatems one of the essential changes Which is
included, and rarely commented on, is the fixing of the nominal eelary, ahlch
corresponds Well to modarn conditions. I do not aant to deprecate Keynes Who,
at the same tlme, expleined the cyclical slumps, even alth Marxist arguments.
I only aant to situate his contribution in the development of capitalism. -
We ere noa living through a nea chenge to which capiteliam has bean led by
the convergence of: the automation ahich !s itself due to the urgent neces- '
sity of permenently aubsCituting cepital for labor; the discoveriea connected
with this euCometion~ and verioua public initiatives (NASA, military research, ~
aeronauCica, eCc.); a certain sdturation of demand in the developed countrles~
end the unsuitability of the gooda they produce for the demand of the nea
countries.
One muat therefore go from household appliences, autonwbiles~ oil~ and trad�
~tional chemistry to automated equipment, telecoamiurtications~ plasma metel-
lurgy, nuclear energy~ biochemistry, genetic engineering~ etc., but elso to
~he larRe-scale production of modernised pieces of treditional equipment for
the new countriea. In this way one can explain (I cannot go into detail here)
the structurnl, lasting unemploymenC and lnflation in the industrialized cotm-
tries ahfch the Keynesian pollcy~ Fordism, !s ap~arently unable to solve.

The report on the adaptetion of the 5eventh Plan, preaented in S~ptember
1978 by Mfchel Albert, general commiseer for planning~ ~peclfies that iE
the arrengement of the Seventh Plan is maintained~ its adaptetion eims es-
sentially at three mein goals. 1) The lasting recovery of our foreign trade
balance. ~verythlnL depende on thia !n Che medium terms the rate of groWth
and the level of employment, the aolldlty of the aurrency, the inde~rer.dence
of the country, and the buying poWer of ita citizens. 2) The adaptetion of
our industry to more and more diffie;ult internationel competition. Industry
alone provides four fifths of F'rance~s exports. The economic controntetions
ahich heve continued to be intenairled since the oil crisis bear essenCially
on lndusCry. 3) The lmprovement of aorkinq cond~tions. This fs a question
of responding to the demenda of the working people end facing the necessary
industriel conversiona and the consequ~,nces of a sloadown !n growth.
These three goela ere cloaely related. Indeed, the authors of the teport
edd: "Whet ia the principal cause of the sudden~ simultaneous rlse in unem-
ployment in all the developed countries, folloWing the oil crisis? Apparently~
the sudden, eimultaneous drop in the rate of groath, Which aas elready in

Nately 1 bi111on fycence if you take into account the purchase of foreign

aviatian manuPacturing properly apeaking.
300 Airbusea Marketed
The miniater pointed out thaL the spectrw of civil aircraft built in I~ance
is quite broad~ ranging from li~t airplanes~ executive airplanes and heli-
copters all the xay to transport aircraft~ The Rinister dxelt especially on
the sub~ect of the Airbue. He noted that in the case of the B2 and Btf planes
21 cdmpanies had placed orderg for a tatal of 131 planes and taken c::�ions
on 63 more. The final figures for iq78 shox the A300 to be the best-selling
large transport p2ane in the xorld after the Boe~r~ ?47. LQSt year ita
ealea equaled the eum total ~of the sales of the DC-10 and L-1011. ltoreover~
there are definite prospecta for nex salesi to Laker (10 aircragt) ani the
Japaneae 2~OA [exganaian unknown~ co.~,r (6 aircraft)~ and various covp~nies
of the Middle ~ast and A,frica are currently negotiating for the purchaee of
a total of 37 aircre~ft. The eigning of theea contracts xould ~uickly bring
to 231 the total of Airbua A300'e either definitively sold or on option.
3ince la8t July a nex eleRent hae been introduced into this epeet,ruae the

The mini~~er conclud~d by eayi.ng tha~ at the p~esent time mo~e ~than 300
Airbueea have either been ordered~ optinned, or a~ade the ob~eot of opeoific
noticee of intention tc~ purchase on the part of the air tr~nspor~ comp~niea.
Le Theule eetiaa~ted the French indu~try'~ ohare o� the total value n:f this
aircraft conetruction to ba 4~ peroent and stated that this a::are breaks
doxn to 37 Pereent for airframe~, 27 pereent fnr engSnea and more than 50
pex~ent for equipa?ent. Comparing theee ftgurea xith tho~e for the Caravelle
Program~ ~he e~inister i;~dicated that the ronfSr~ed orders for the Airbus
alone already con~ti~ute~ for the F~rench e,viation manufacturing industry~
a backlog of orders greater t,han th~ total produ~tian repreaented by the
entire Caravelle program. The fact ia that xhen concluded~ the Ai.rbws
pro~ram x~.ll represent 4 to 5 timeg the production of the Caravelle program.
The Industry Will Meet the De~and
_ There is concern today xith reepect to the capacity of the ~ench and
European aviation induatry to aeet the deaaand. La Theule declased~ hoxever,
that thia concern Sa no longer founded on the skepticism of last euamer. On
th~ basis nf ~Ehe increaee in ss~les as of the end af 1978~ Airbus Industry
had alreac~y taken--at that ti.aie--its decision to ir~crea8e the rate of
production fro~ txd planes per month to aix by 1y83. The succeases achieved
aince the firet of the year have cxused the schedule to be revised upxard.
It is not impossible that the rate of aix per month xill be achieved by 1982 ~
and that the rate of eight to 10 per month xill conceivably be neceasary
beginning in 19g3 ~n order to ueet the stated requirevents of the air
trar~sport companiee.
AEROSPATIALE [National Induatrial A,,~~xospa,ce Compa,ny] should provide for this
eharp increase in production by con.cinuing the efforts to increase produc-
tivity that it has already initiate~.,. To thie end:
1. As a firat step~ it is preparing all its various divisionss and ita
affiliates to operate at full capaci;:y.
2. It is diveating iteelf of non-avia~:ion related act~vitiea in order to
devote ita full potential to the tasks that pertain to its vocation.
3. It is ruaking an appeal to all firms in the aviation industs~�, and in
particular to the eubcontractora~ to participate (son~e of the subcontractora
are being called upon to expand by hiring additional personnel).
4. Un the ba81s of ita exieting factories, it is aubcontsacting extensively
among regional industrial enterprises, especially thoae in the Toulouee and
Basse-Loire regione.
5� Yith the aid of the g+overnaient~ it is atudying the possibility of
entruating certain types of xork to non-aviation related co~pRniea that are
