He cites two reasons for the rise, to keep military support to allies flowing and to bolster aid to the Middle East and Far East amid Soviet challenge. He questions Soviet goodwill while warning nations may leverage offers to gain U S influence. He adds no optimism for Middle East peace yet notes continued talks on peace proposals. He criticizes Soviet veto of Japan's UN admission and says the Big Three will hold Moscow responsible for Berlin access.
