...reached an interim agreement, for instance, providing for the repatriation of some 125,000 ethnic Germans (out of a total of 280,000) from Poland to West Germany.

In addition, the conversations at Helsinki between West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and East German Communist Boss Erich Honecker were said to have led to some progress in the long-stalled negotiations between the two Germanys. In other respects, however, Honecker seemed totally unaffected by the spirit of Helsinki. Back home last week, he quickly declared that the Final Act notwithstanding, there...

Of the world's major economies, said the OECD, all but Britain and Italy will enjoy real growth in the second half, a trend that will accelerate sharply in 1976 (see chart).
