Altogether, businessmen facing higher taxes and costlier credit will be spending about $85 billion on new plants and equipment by year's end-little more than they invested last year. The G.N.P. will grow 7.5% from an estimated $784 billion to $842 billion on a seasonally adjusted basis, but only half the increase will be real.

While Europe tapped costlier supplies in the U.S. and Venezuela, three months of a some what leaky embargo by Arab countries on oil shipments to the U.S., Britain and West Germany merely robbed their own treasuries of millions in royalties and taxes. Last week, almost as swiftly as it was imposed during the Arab-Israeli war, the ban for all practical purposes ended...
