National Trade Deficit Climbs To 6 1/2 Billion in 1972
New York AP reports the United States posted a record 6.5 billion dollar trade deficit for 1972, with December imports surpassing exports by 563.2 million. The year’s deficit follows rising consumer prices and a volatile stock market after Nixon’s cease-fire announcement. Major topics include the dollar devaluation’s impact, the 14 point Dow drop, and a brewing budget deficit alongside corporate moves from IBM and GM.

Drop In Defense Spending Not Seen
The Pentagon rejects the idea of a peace dividend as unlikely. Since 1965 the US has spent 135.5 billion on Vietnam, with postwar cuts lagging inflation and pay raises. Pentagon officials warn military spending will rise next year to fund an all volunteer force and new weapons including the B1 bomber and Trident submarine.

Peace ends Vietnam war with modest economic impact
New York AP reports economists view the Vietnam War as a costly period for prices and unemployment, with Arthur Okun and Paul Samuelson noting social costs outweighing economic losses. Peace is seen as a potential turning point for inflation, job gains, and a restored confidence, though deficits and a shaky monetary system linger.
