There are other important reasons for the U.S. to maintain its power in Asia. It has sea-lanes to protect and a western frontier to guard. Above all, there are the non-Communist countries of East and Southeast Asia that have been allies of the U.S. in the past and that the U.S. can now, in the post-Viet Nam atmosphere, assist in new ways. A lower military profile will enable the U.S. to concentrate on economic and technological aid to these nations...
...Boss Alvaro Cunhal and a woolly-minded Marxist ideologue who favored the creation in Portugal of a socialist state along Eastern European lines. Last week in an apparent victory for moderate forces within the M.F.A., Gonçalves fell from power. In the face of virtually open rebellion by non-Communist officers in the army and air force, Gonçalves−who the previous week had lost his post as Premier−gave up his appointment as chief of the general staff of the armed forces. In addition, he and three radical colleagues were dropped from membership...
...catastrophic. By virtually every measure of economic performance and social wellbeing, Britain is already far behind its chief rivals in Europe−West Germany and France−barely ahead of Italy, and apparently set on a course that could soon make it one of the poorest of the non-Communist industrial nations (see chart). Between 1967 and 1973, when growth rates were soaring in the U.S., Japan and most of Western Europe, Britain's economy expanded by an annual average of only 2.2%. At the same time, Britain was struggling with a chronic balance of payments deficit...
...moderates do manage to triumph over the Communists, Portugal's future will remain precarious. Were Saraiva de Carvalho to emerge as a strongman, Portugal might well escape an East European-type dictatorship only to end up with a perhaps unorthodox but still dictatorial system. Then, too, nobody could discount the possibility that if the drift toward anarchy continues, the old right wing, powerless since the April 1974 revolution, might stage a coup. Indeed, the anti-Communist activities led by the armed forces' moderates provided an umbrella for all kinds of non-Communist groups, including former backers...
...rapid rise in U.S.-Soviet trade: mainly because of financing difficulties, it is still not growing as rapidly as Western European and Japanese exports to the U.S.S.R. Indeed, in the past year the U.S. has fallen from second rank (behind West Germany) among the Soviet Union's non-Communist suppliers to seventh. The ranking is unlikely to change, because the Soviets are buying from other countries even more eagerly than from the U.S. Moscow last year bought four artificial fertilizer plants from the U.S.; it ordered the next 13 from Western Europe and Japan.
