French businessmen and unionists counted on him to talk some reason into De Gaulle. At present, France is losing funds at such a drastic rate-$300 million to $400 million a week-that its net reserves of some $5 billion in gold and currency will be imperiled within a few months unless the huge outflow of francs is somehow checked...

But it may come as a pleasant surprise for U.S. readers to see themselves, as at least one admiring Frenchman does, as a civili- zation whose "secret lies in the confidence of the society in its citizens." This confidence, says Servan-Schreiber. is manifested in such commonplace U.S. practices as continual reeducation of both executive and worker and in the delegation of responsibility that tries to "liberate initiative at every level."
