Public spending is now so heavily directed towards defense industries that funds for other government services are curtailed.

To raise the weapons budget in times of depression will constitute an excuse for axing it during a boom, and there is, of course, some hope that the arms race can be restricted sufficiently to prevent over-emphasis...

This squeeze has aroused anti-Americanism round the world and handed the Communists a golden opportunity for trade deals and political demonstrations such as those against Vice President Nixon. The price drop has also partially nullified Western aid programs; the United Nations estimates that a 4% drop in key prices in underdeveloped lands cancels out all the funds poured...
