Investment Abroad: U S Jobs Pinch?
Washington argues that U S capital outlays abroad by corporate affiliates rose 22 percent in 1970 with another 16 percent expected in 1971 while domestic investment grew 5.5 percent in 1970 and 4.3 percent in 1971. The piece notes Western Europe leads in overseas expansion, warns this shifts funds from U S facilities and R&D, and urges deeper domestic efficiency and targeted investment to boost jobs and growth. It also discusses why foreign investment persists, including circumventing import barriers, and calls for tougher trade restrictions only if needed to spur competitiveness.
