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.

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.

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.
