Monetary problems, notably the chronic U.S. balance of payments deficit and the international role of the dollar, will be one of the shared difficulties Nixon must discuss in each of the capitals he visits-London, Bonn, Rome, Paris. There are many others: the state of NATO, Soviet adventurism in Eastern Europe, the volatile Middle East, Britain's continued isolation from the Common Market, the proposed treaty banning the spread of nuclear weapons that some nonnuclear powers-notably West Germany-have feared might cut them off from peaceful applications of atomic technology. Also, Nixon wants to sound out the Atlantic...
Among Four Eyes. Next stop is Bonn. The Germans will be delighted to see Nixon because of all the Western Europeans, they feel most dependent on U.S. military might. Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger will meet the President at Wahn airport and take him by helicopter to his modernistic bungalow in the Palais Schaumburg park to begin their private talks unter vier Augen (among four eyes). From Bonn, Nixon will make the ritual visit to West Berlin, where John Kennedy made his historic "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech from the city hall steps in the spring of 1963. It will...
There will be a special security problem in Berlin. The city's Free University is the center of youthful opposition to the Bonn regime and to continued U.S. influence in Germany. Last week left-wing students there denounced Nixon as "the shifty agent of the most reactionary kind of American bourgeois society" and resolved to demonstrate against him. Most of West Berlin's 20,000-man police force-including 5,000 reservists-will be turned out during Nixon's three-hour stay...
...last March. War of Nerves. Even more important, the East German move touched on the very status of West Berlin. West Germany has always maintained that West Berlin is a part of the Federal Republic, though, of course, under special Allied control. As symbolic support for that claim, the Bonn regime has three times in the past 15 years convened the Federal Assembly in West Berlin to select a President. Next month German legislators will meet again in the former German capital to choose a successor to retiring West German President Heinrich Liibke. Until now, East Germany has maintained that...
President's Signal. Faced with the Communist threat, the Western Allies firmly reminded the Soviet Union that they hold the Russians responsible for maintaining free access to West Berlin. After talks in Bonn with Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson jetted to West Berlin for a seven-hour visit. "We shall continue -you can count on this-to do all that is in our power to ensure that your freedom is preserved," he said on television. Berliners were pleased and somewhat reassured. But they were even more pleased by the prospect of next week's visit...
