Passage 2
  More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at
  the time of Renc Coty. Charles Deschancl was then the financial minister. He
  stressed that workmanship (工作质量) and quality were more important than
  quantity for industrial production. It would be necessary to produce quality
  goods for international market to compete with those produced in other
  countries. The French economy needed a larger share of the international market
  to balance its import and export trade. French industrial and agricultural
  production was still not enough to meet the immediate needs of the people, let
  alone long-ranged developments. Essential imports had extended the national
  credit (信用) to the breaking point. Rents were tightly controlled, but the
  extreme inflation (通货膨胀) affected general population most severely through
  the cost of food. Food costs took as much as 80 per cent of the workers’
  income. Wages, it is true, had risen, extensive family allowances (补贴) and
  benefits were paid by the state, and there was full-time and overtime
  employment. Taken together, these factors enabled the working class to exist
  but allowed them no sense of safety. In this precarious (不安定) and
  discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.
  The government was not willing to let workers leave the country. It
  was feared this migration of workers would deplete (使空虚) the labor force.
  The lack of qualified workers might stop the improvement in the quality of
  industrial products produced. Qualified workers employed abroad would only
  increase the quantity of quality produced in foreign countries. Also the
  quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as
  part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries.
