Sometime during his ten-day visit, Reagan will surely have kind words to say about the West European allies' resolve in deploying the new Euromissiles. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Belgian Prime Minister Wilfried Martens, Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher have all accepted the NATO weapons on their soil, despite heavy pressure from the peace movement.

That's the big question following last week's E.U. summit in Brussels, at which French President Jacques Chirac questioned why Britain should continue to receive a €4 billion annual rebate on its payments. In 1984, then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher won the rebate for Britain by demanding: "I want my money back", and holding up E.U. business for months until she got it.
