Suspicions and resentments between industrialized and developing countries vastly complicate the economic problems; even some of the basic facts are in dispute. The New York Times recently reported that experts from both industrial and less-developed countries-from Algeria to New Zealand-have advised Secretary General Gamani Corea of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development that there is no statistical proof that raw materials prices have failed to keep pace with the prices of manufactured goods over the past 25 years. The implication-unpalatable to the U.N.'s Third World majority-is that the industrial nations have...
...most striking aspects of the debate is that the broader, historic issues have been so little discussed. In a recent letter to his constituents, Tory Maudling urged voters not to "rest the future of England upon this week's price of grain in Chicago, or butter in New Zealand. There are greater and more lasting issues at stake."

Australia and New Zealand face neither threats of external attack nor internal insurgency, but both nations are concerned with maintaining stability in the western Pacific. That means preventing any major power-such as China, the Soviet Union or even Japan -from dominating the region; this goal requires an active American involvement. During his talks at the White House, New Zealand's Rowling told Ford that his country "welcomes American interest in the region...
