Third world loans threaten recovery United Press International WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker said federal deficits and large bank loans to debt-ridden developing countries threaten the nation’s economic recovery, but they are problems that can be solved. Volcker said declining infla tion rates and gains in produc tivity “point to the possibility of a really extended recovery” in the United States, although he said such a recovery might take some time to achieve. He told the House Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs Committee Wednesday that the international financial system is experiencing strains caused by high interest loans to Third World nations that are having difficulty paying them off. He also expressed concern about large federal deficits, pro jected by the administration at $208 billion this fiscal year and $189 billion in the fiscal year of 1984. Volcker said the strains on the international financial sys tem because of Third World loans are “increasingly well understood, and on the basis of that understanding, for all its complexity and difficulty, it can be dealt with effectively.” Volcker appeared before the panel in support of legislation that would increase the liquidity of the International Monetary Fund by about $10 billion by in creasing the U.S. quota. Volcker said both problems threaten the nation’s economic recovery. He said both the prob lems can be solved, “but they are not going to go away by them selves . Congress has to deal with the budget deficits.” Otherwise, he said, interest rates will be 1 driven up. The Treasury Department said Wednesday that a general wave of already higher interest rates carried tbe average yield for $4.5 billion in 10-year Treas ury notes sold Wednesday to an average of 10.94 percent. An Agriculture Department report predicted a brighter out look for the troubled farm eco nomy this year than had been expected. The report forecasted the 1983 net farm income to be be tween $16 billion and $20 bil lion, which is nonetheless a de cline from last year’s produc tion. -il Get Your Xerox Copies Little hope for Soviet detente, analysis says United Press International WASHINGTON — I he State Department’s first high-level you assessment of U.S.-Soviet rela- apis tions in the post-Brezhnev walk period forecasts a cold winter and a cold spring, fall and summer. The analysis by Lawrence Eagleburger, the department’s undersecretary for political affairs, is bleak and chilly, offer ing no hope for any return to detente. Some Soviet actions are described as those of an interna tional outlaw, and the report suggests that any improvements in relations — if they come — will be modest and minor. Eagleburger, the depart ment’s top-ranking career diplo mat and a former ambassador to Yugoslavia, spoke to the gov erning board of the World Jew- puii ish Congress Tuesday night. ).gji( The State Department released ied# litclt cau( the* er. nidli ;raM* fflS® it ncid rep' the text Wednesday without fan fare, but it is the first compre hensive U.S. public assessment of relations with the Kremlin since Yuri Andropov became the Soviet leader. “Our rivalry must continue so long as our two nations remain true to the principles upon which they were founded,” Eag leburger said. But he also said, “Because our arms make the rivalry so dan gerous, we must keep it within bounds” “American policy toward the Soviet Union,” he said, “must fall between the impossible and the unacceptable; we must steer a middle course between the friendship we cannot have, and the war we must not have.” The speech, apparently in tended as a well-telegraphed public message to the Soviets, said that any improvement in re lations has to begin with a change in behavior from the Soviet side. But in saying that the new' Soviet leadership is un able or unprepared to make any sharp changes in policy, it also says that such a development is not likely. Eagleburger said nothing ab out Andropov’s reported fond ness for western jazz and books. But he pointed out that he is a former head of the KGB “which is not widely known for its liberal predilections,” and that he was Soviet ambassador in Hungary in 1956, “a vintage year in the history of Soviet oppression.” “The reality is that while, of course, personalities are in fluential in setting the course the two superpowers will follow, the divergence of views, history and interests is so basic that no one man — indeed no group of men — can affect, except at the mar gins, the fundamentally com petitive nature of our relation ship,” Eagleburger said.
