Allies Only Arms Label Aimed at Sweden in Cold War Move
Officials hope the new Allies only label on American arms will prompt Sweden to join a defense alliance against Soviet expansion. The State Department noted it cannot spare military equipment for nations without a binding alliance. Sweden has favored strict neutrality and urged Norway and Denmark to reject the proposed North Atlantic Military Alliance. Stockholm reports say Sweden received 30 P-51s last summer, cannibalized for parts. Washington views a purely Scandinavian defense pact as insufficient. The Western allies push toward a North Atlantic regional security system as Dean prepares to take office as secretary of State.
