...offer solutions in "the moral equivalent of war," is hardly less severe than when he came to office. In many ways it is worse. Prices of gasoline have risen from 60? to $1 a gallon; severe shortages have occurred and threaten to return. The price of oil to heat homes has risen, since his sunny Inauguration Day, from 44? a gallon to more than 80?. Carter can and does blame the nation's economic difficulties partly on a greedy OPEC, partly on a fractious Congress, partly on the profligate American public, partly on the limitations of presidential power...

But now, says Jeanne Labrousse, director of the polling institute I.F.O.P.: "We have reached the point where discontent is so high that Barre cannot absorb it all himself." According to Jacques Attali, a leading Socialist economist, the reason is that Giscard and Barre can no longer promise light at the end of the austerity tunnel.
