When the North Atlantic
Treaty was signed in Washing
ton in 1949, the United States,
Britain, Italy, the Netherlands,
France, Canada, Denmark, Ice
land, Belgium, Luxembourg,
Norway and Portugal agreed to
join in an alliance to protect
Western Europe against posi-
BILE Soviet aggression.
In 1852, in the wake Of So
Wet expansionist threats in the
Middle East, Greece and Tur-
key joined the NATO pact, and
in 1855. after considerable con-
troversy, the Federal Republic
Of Germany adhered to it.
NATO has been. in its prin-
cipal aims. largely q military
alliance. Efforts have been
made by several Western lead
ers, incluing the late Secretary
of State Dulles and the present
Secretary General Paul-Henri
Spaak, to broaden NATO's in
terests to include social and
economic problems.
When the NATO pact was
signed in 1949, it was envisaged
that NATO forces in Europe by
1852 would include so divisions
Of combat troops and at least
1000 operational aircraft.

HowNATO Partners Work

In 1855, NATO counted 46
divisions in being. many skele-
tonized, and a total Of $500
planes available, including those
contributed by West Germany.
Less than 80 combat-ready di-
vision were actually on hand.
But the rebellion in Algeria
against French rule brought the
transfer Of the bulk of French
forces committed to NATO to
Algeria. In August, 1855, only
two French divisions remained
in continental Europe of the
five that had been bolstering
NATO. Today almost all French
forces are committed to Algeria,
where the rebellion is over five
years old.
West Germany pledged IL di-
visions to NATO forces by the
end Of 1857, but internal prob
lens of rearmament resulted in
TOTAL OF Cnree divisions being
available by that date.
In costs, NATO spent 1921
billion between 1949 and 1856.
OF this amount, $252 billion was
contributed by the United States.
A typical year was 1857: United
States contribution, $44 billion;
European contribution $13 bill

tenn are changeless. Marxists
have always denied that COM
muniSm is a dogma, but in the
Soviet Union and other Commu-
mist countries deviations from the
established Zine" are as punish
able as any heresy.
That the Communist system
does change its rules, however,
is in the record. Last week the
Soviet Union put into effect eco
nomic innovations that have been
familiar to capitalist economies
since the industrial revolution.
Neither of the two changes would
probably have been acceptable
20 years ago to orthodox Marxists.
The most important action was
the announcement of a system of
bonus payments. to be awarded
to factory and collective farm man
ayers successful in cutting costs
and raising profits. In the past,
bonuses in the Soviet economy
were paid for raising production
only, and increased production
was often achieved only be in
creaSing costs and thus lowering
profits.
In a second move, the nations
of the Communist bloc signed an
agreement for a limited conver-
tibility of currencies. The extent
of the convertibility in actual
trading is still unclear, but the
action is seen as a step toward
reaching agreement with the
"Outer Seven" Western European
nations (those not included in the
Six-nation Common Market on
tariff reductions.
The agreement included the So
Wet Union. Poland, Romania, AL
bania, Bulgaria. CzechoSlovakia,
China, North Korea, East Ger
many, Outer Mongolia, and North
Wet Nam. Travellers and tourists
between the signatory nations will
be permitted to convert their ma
tional currencies, in limited
amounts. to the currency of the
nation they are visiting. Tourism
among the nations of the Social
iSt camp is reported to be increas-
ing rapidly, with hundreds of
thousands making trips to other
nations each year.
To some observers, the Soviet
changes represent a real advance
toward economic arrangements
that will make possible much
better relationships between East
