...foreign creditors, who have put up more than $3 billion to defend the pound. For if Wilson cannot hold down wage increases in a period when his other taxation and monetary measures are taking hold, all credibility in the value of the pound will be undercut; British export costs, swollen by excessive wage gains, will rise, slowing foreign sales of everything from cars and gin to razor blades and woolens. Particularly because his is a Labor government, Wilson's ability to rein in wage demands is almost the litmus test of his ability to set his economy in order...
D.C.L.'s chairman, Sir Robert Gumming, 66, a fourth-generation distillery-man, last year was knighted "for services to export." Small wonder. Johnnie Walker, the world's top-selling Scotch, sends more than a million cases a year to the U.S. This month, making his annual report for the twelve-month period ending March 31, Sir Robert said that overall exports of Scotch rose by 9,120,000 million gal., or 16%, to a total of 65,440,000 gal. Distillers Co. Ltd. also made marked gains with its gins and vodkas, especially in the U.S., where...
...short-range solution to hunger overseas is more U.S. food, the long-range answer must be the export of technology, along with capital and brains to see that it is applied wisely.

A single U.S. farm worker now feeds 37 people, nearly twice as many as he did only a decade ago. And despite rising...
...once displayed the wisdom of Solomon, these groups agreed on a simple solution that by 1970 will forever end the threat of pollution at Lake Tahoe. A mammoth disposal plant (6,000,000 gallons' capacity) will filter the waste to the acceptable standard for drinking water, and three export pipelines will be constructed to carry the "effluents," as the processed waste is called, over the mountains and out of the Tahoe Basin completely. Pollution control will cost $40 million; but besides keeping Tahoe true blue, it will also provide much needed irrigation for Nevada's desert lands...
...another marathon session ending at 5 a.m., the Common Market had agreed on a financing system for price supports and export subsidies-of which France will collect about 45% -and for modernizing farming, which will benefit Italy the most. These and other agreements virtually complete the creation of what the French call Europe verte (a green Europe), which will formally sprout on July 1, 1968, the date when the last industrial tariffs among the Six are also scheduled to disappear...
