...movement make clear to the American people that immediate withdrawal does mean a Communist victory in South Vietnam. Equivocation on this point can only help to reproduce the atmosphere of disillusionment and reaction which followed the "loss" of China in 1949. Instead of vacillating or emphasizing various improbable non-Communist solutions for South Vietnam, the anti-war movement should be preparing for the consequences of its own victory by arguing openly that a Communist government will indeed eventually replace the Americans in Vietnam, and that this is likely precisely because so many Vietnamese were willing to fight...
...dint of hard work and unromantic planning, Spain is doggedly building itself into an industrial power. The gross national product has grown an average 6.1% annually since 1964, and at $32.2 billion is 13th in the non-Communist world, just behind Sweden and ahead of The Netherlands. Per capita income has surpassed $1,000 per year, up from $317 in 1960; that is still well behind the Common Market countries but light-years ahead of a prewar standard of living that compared to Bulgaria and Portugal. Spain is the world's fourth largest shipbuilder, ranks 13th in steel production...

Provided that a political agreement holds together at least for several years, the U.S. and other non-Communist nations will play a large role in reviving the Vietnamese economy. President Nixon has made a commitment to the governments of both North and South Viet Nam to help finance reconstruction. Henry Kissinger has said that an "illustrative figure" for U.S. spending might be $7.5 billion over five years, with perhaps $2 billion going to the North. Government officials have not figured out whether the U.S. would give aid directly, as it did under the Marshall Plan, or work through a multi...
Negotiations will now proceed in the IMF's Committee of Twenty, a group of officials of the developing nations and the rich, non-Communist countries. The aim is to produce principles for a monetary system that the IMF could formally adopt at its annual meeting in Nairobi a year from now. Secretary Shultz has outlined a balanced and flexible system that holds real promise for bringing the world out of its monetary muddle...
