Allen warns of bleak alliance future over inflation and budgets
Allen argues the alliance risks a bleak future if member nations cannot curb inflation and control budgets. He notes Reagan found no major disagreement in recent talks with European leaders.

He warned disarmament talks in Europe could fail, strengthening the West, while European leaders reject unilateral pacifism. He framed U S ties to South Africa as driven by self interest, not apartheid condemnation, and said personal views do not reflect administration policy.
