...inconceivable that without foreign assistance the country would be able to bear that economic burden, let alone have any resources left over to devote to development. Even though some reduction of the size of the forces may be possible as time passes, other budgetary items must increase. Military wages have been held down in a misguided attempt to limit inflation.

But the Nixon Administration is reluctant to give up the bargaining lever that the surcharge provides, and the President last week hinted that the tax will be around for quite a while. Still, the Europeans' main demand at the moment is reasonable: that the U.S. spell out clearly its conditions for dropping the surcharge. The toughest issue is the size and speed...
