The [French] budget was at last fully balanced. Still the franc kept falling. By May, the exchange rate stood at over thirty to the dollar. With a currency in free-fall, prices now rising at 2% a month - over 25% a year - and the Government apparently impotent, everyone made the obvious comparison with the situation in Germany four years earlier. In fact, there was no real parallel. Germany in 1922 had lost all control of its budget deficit and in that single year expanded the money supply ten fold. By contrast, the French had largely solved their fiscal problems and its money supply was under control. The main trouble was the fear that the deep divisions between the right and left had made France ungovernable. The specter of chronic political chaos associated with revolving door governments and finance ministers was exacerbated by the uncertainty over the governments ability to fund itself given the overhang of more than $10 billion in short term debt. It was this psychology of fear, a generalized loss of nerve, that seemed to have gripped French investors and was driving the downward spiral of the franc. The risk was that international speculators, those traditional bugaboos of the Left, would create a self-fulfilling meltdown as they shorted the currency in the hope of repurchasing it later at a lower price thereby compounding the very downward trend that they were trying to exploit. It was the obverse of a bubble where excessive optimism translates into rising prices which then induces even more buying. Now excessive pessimism was translating into falling prices which were inducing even more selling. In the face of this all embracing miasma of gloom neither the politicians nor the financial establishment seemed to have any clue what to do.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Liaquat Ahamed" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/liaquat-ahamed/in-april-1926-france-and-the-united-states-finally-negotiated-a-war/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b17/liaquat-ahamed-110670_debt-settlement_in-april-1926-france-and-the-united-stat_1686051.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b17/liaquat-ahamed-110670_debt-settlement_in-april-1926-france-and-the-united-stat_1686051.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b17/liaquat-ahamed-110670_debt-settlement_in-april-1926-france-and-the-united-stat_1686051.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“In April, 1926, France and the United States finally negotiated a war debt settlement at forty cents on the…” — Liaquat Ahamed", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Across Europe some 11 million men lay dead, including 2 million Germans, 1.4 million Frenchmen, and 900,000 British.
