Johnson's Compromise. The State Department believes, in fact, that a $3 billion payments deficit should not really bother a nation that boasts both a $650 billion economy and twice as much in claims against foreign currencies as foreigners have against the dollar.

De Gaulle clearly felt that by throwing his weight into world money markets, he could increase the franc's value against dollars and sterling, dramatize the shortcomings of the international monetary system, which France has long criticized, and show the U.S. that it will have...
