He said he thinks the United States was drawn into that conflict by “an absence of a sense of limits,” say ing “6 percent of the world’s people cannot control the rest of the world or grant to the rfest of the world peace, happiness and prosperity.” Ambrose also said the nature of America’s victory in World War II has left the nation with a legacy. “That left us with this legacy , the feeling that we can always come up with a final solution to a problem if we put our minds to it,” he said. “This, it seems to me, is dangerous, impossible, and it raises false hopes.” On the subject of relations with the Soviet Union, Ford said Soviet domestic problems could be used as an American bargaining tool. “Look at Soviet oil production,” Ford said. “It’s fallen off in the last couple of years. “And the precipitous decline in crude oil prices is going to hurt the Soviet Union more than any other nation in the world, including Tex as,” he said, drawing a laugh from the audience. “Secondly,” Ford said, “Soviet ag riculture has been and is a failure. And the net result is they’re losing their capability to feed and clothe their people. The Soviet Union is facing an economic crisis, and we should put pressure on them and . . . get concessions from them militarily and otherwise.” Ambrose replied that the Soviets are holding to their price in oil and still selling it to Eastern bloc nations for $25 a barrel. “With regard to this business of managing the decline of the Soviet Union,” Ambrose said, “that’s what they’ve been saying to each other (in Washington) since 1945.” Ford answered that as Eastern bloc nations’ economies worsen, so also will that of the Soviets. At a news conference held earlier Tuesday, Carter and Ford said the United States’confrontation with Li bya in the Gulf of Sidra had both positive and negative results. Carter said, “I think both sides have claimed a big victory in the Si dra Gulf. Khadafy got exactly what he wanted.” That included personal publicity, popularity at home, worldwide at tention drawn to his cause, elevation to the same level as the leaders of the superpowers, and a cementing of relationships with his allies, Carter said. “Three or four months ago, Kha dafy was an outcast in the Arab world,” he said. “Now, it would be al most impossible for an Arab leader to condemn Khadafy. “At the same time, I think that President Reagan has cemented his popularity in our own country. A lot of people wanted to see Khadafy get a bloody nose.” Ford said the Libyan conflict dem onstrated the superiority of U.S. mil-. itary hardware as compared to So viet equipment. “Now you can say that the Li byans, if they were the operators, didn’t know how to use it,” Ford said. “But there were, I’m sure, some instances where Soviet advisers . . . were operating this equipment.” Both former presidents said dur ing the conference that an increase in American troops in Central America is not a certainty. But Carter predicted that more American troops would be in Cen tral America in two years than there are now. On the subject of South Africa, Carter said President Reagan’s con structive engagement policy is per ceived by much of the world as one which condones apartheid. “We ought to make it clear to the rest of the world that we are in the forefront of condemning apartheid in South Africa and calling for its de mise,” Carter said. Ford replied, “The record is very clear. President Reagan totally op poses apartheid.” Ford went on to say that adher ence to the Sullivan principles by American businesses doing business in South Africa is the best way to help that nation’s black population. The Sullivan principles is a code followed by over 100 U.S. companies operating in South Africa. The code, in part, requires signers to ban seg regation in workplaces, treat all em ployees fairly, provide equal pay for equal work, use more nonwhite managers, and urge other South Af rican companies to support equal rights for blacks.
