U S Slower R D Growth Hampers Security Says Cromley
Ray Cromley argues that U S defense security faces its biggest risk from lagging technology growth rather than Russia or oil. He cites aging facilities, rising imports of tech dependent products, and foreign purchase of U S discoveries as evidence. He urges increased R D spending or a two way scientific exchange with the Soviet Union to avoid subsidy to rivals.

Speaking Freely Soviets Capitalize By Don Oakley
A column by Jack Anderson and Les Whitten warns that detente hides a technology drain from the United States to the Soviet Union. American firms export licenses and know‑how for computers, jets, and plants, with the Soviets years behind in key fields yet gaining from the deals. The piece argues one‑way scientific cooperation benefits the USSR and questions long‑term Western gains. The article contrasts early 1920s Soviet needs with today’s broader scope of assistance. It cites a Marxist phrase about selling the rope that hanged capitalists.
