EUROPE DETENTE'S DARK DAYS By S00 靆 SuIIivan n Western Europe, détente came under greater strain in 1980 than ever before. With SOViet soldiers encamped in Afghani- stan, and Warsaw Pact troops massed on Poland's borders, European leaders had t0 face up t0 the fact that the nature 0f Soviet imperialism had not changed. lt was a painful admission— not least because East-West tensions endangered profitable eco- nomic ties. But even France and West Germany, which had insisted for months that dialogue with the SOViet Union must be maintained at all costs, acknowledged that the threat t0 P01and had hammered home the message 0f Afghanistan. Everywhere, advocates 0f dé- tente at any prrce were on the defensive. The new mood became clear at NATO's annual meeting in December. Both France and West Germany backed U. S. calls for quick, tough Western responses tO any SOViet move in POland. AII the NATO leaders even those who j ealously maintain the distinction between NATO as a military alliance and the European Economic Community as an economic forum—agreed tO coordi- nate economic reprisals through the alliance. "Our public opinion simply would not understand if this time we failed tO react on the economic front," said one NATO Foreign Minister. The Polish situation is the main reason for Europe's get-tough attitude, but not the only one. At the Conference on European Security and Cooperation in Madrid, the Soviets openly showed their contempt for Western concerns over human rights. Despite worldwide protests, they exiled physicist Andrei Sakharov and jailed several other dissidents. N0t a single soldier has been with- d rawn from Afghanistan, and the Russians have rebuffed every European effort tO negotiate a solution there. By November, French Foreign MinisterJean Frangois-Poncet was ready tO banish détente from his vocabulary. "Since Afghanistan," he said, "l れ 0 longer much like the word 'détente. ' I no longer feel it describes the over-all relations we have with the Eastern countries. ” lt was a startling admission for any French minister tO make especially since détente began with Charles de Gaulle in the 1960S. But it was indicative Of the turmoil that has beset European leaders in the past year, the sharpness Of their frustrations and the shift in their thinking. American critics Of European attitudes are inclined tO be cynical about such shifts. They point out that while French President VaIéry Giscard d'Estaing and West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt described the Afghan invasion as "unacceptable," they continued tO dO business as usual with the Russians. ln a midyear interview, former U. S. Secretary Of State Henry Kissinger said that "certain Europeans have developed a new concept Of the division 0f labor in which they 100k after détente while the United States attends t0 defending the st.

France increased its defense budget beyond NATO requirements and cooperated with Britain and the United States in es- tablishing a naval force in the lndian Ocean.

"Gis- card continues tO talk a soft game tO the Russians, but it's for internal consumption," said one U. S. diplo- mat. "He makes it very clear tO the White House that he can be trusted in an emergency. And he believes the emergency is at hand. ' There is no guarantee that Western Europe's hard line will not turn soft even if the Polish crisis is resolved peacefully. The Common Market has poured billions ofdollars into extend- ing credit and building up trade links with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, an investment that stems, in part, from a conviction that trade can help t0 break down political and ideological barriers. And there has also been a ma. 」 or psychological in- vestment, especially by West Ger- many, in the belief that Europe can build bridges between the superpow- ers that will diminish the threat of Richard Melloul—Sygma war.

Commercial bankers have become much more involved With the more dynamic Third World countries, such as Brazil and South Korea, since they began lending them large sums in the early 1970S. Now, however, they are more apprehensive about their credit-worthiness in the face 0f higher 0 ⅱ prices. ln 1980 , they began looking t0 the IMF as either their guarantor or their debt-collector. Western bankers were ambivalent about clos- er links with the offlcial institutions, and some Of them feared that if they got guarantees they would also get interference. One banker commented: "Our policy is 'help, but hands 0 . The chief advocate of closer links with the IMF was (). W. ) Tom CIausen, president of the Bank of America. And in October, Clausen was nominated tO succeed McNamara as president Of the World Bank. One ofthe ma 」 or issues facing Clausen will be the determination Of the wealthy oil-producing states tO increase their voting power in both the World Bank and the IMF before they take a more active part in Third World development. TO that end, the Arab countries devoted much Of their attention during the year tO beefing up their presence in the tWO institutions. y the end 0f the year, the North-South deadlock, if not broken, was at least more confused. 市ⅱ e the ideologues of free enterpnse, such as Thatcher or Milton Friedman, insisted on the sanctity Of the international capital market, many bankers were not sure hOW sanctified they wished it tO be. Third ′ orld militants still insisted on drastic restructuring to achieve their "new international economic order, " but many Of them looked t0 Western investment and bank loans for help. StiII, the Third WorId's prospects for the 1980S remain full of uncertainty. The extension of both lending and aid depends NEWSWEEK/JANUARY 5 , 1981 critically on East-West relations and the cost Of the arms race. ln cynical terms, greater arms spending by bOth sides could stim- ulate economic activity and push up the pnce Of some Third WorId commodities—perhaps providing a new boom for several countnes, particularly in Latin America. But it would cut back the surplus funds available for international lending and aid not linked to military 0bj ectives, causing new hardships for Third WorId countries that produce purely peaceful commodities, or simply struggle t0 survive. any Third WorId leaders enter 1981 with renewed fears in the political arena as well. They worry that preoc- cupation with the Communist threat and the rhetoric of a new confrontation could lead the West back to crude cold- war simplifications, particularly the assumption that the whOle world must be classified as either pro-Communist or anti.Com/ munist. Past turnabouts in Asia and Africa, they note, have shown the dangers Ofthis assumption. Many newly independent countnes once lOOked tO the SOViet Union tO provide arms for their wars of liberation, only t0 become disillusioned by the inability of the Soviets tO provide the peaceful equipment they desperately needed later for development. Even among those Third World states which apparently had been moving closer tO Moscow, the SOViet invasion Of Afghanistan provoked protests and concern. The I ran-lraq war also has raised senous questions about which side is the least unfriendly tO Western interests. The events 0f 1980 showed the danger 0f generalizing about the line-up between the Third World and the Soviet Union. ln the months ahead, the challenge for both the West and the Third World will be to resume their dialogue with a heightened sense 0f urgency fostered during the last dangerous year.

For an advance party whose mis- sion was merely tO scout the sprawling Fed- eral establishment, Ronald Reagan's transi- tion team seems dangerously vulnerable tO the disease it hopes most tO cure : bureau- cratic bloat. "This government is supposed tO be lean and trim, ' ' groused one Re- publican congressman, "but this transition looks like something created by HEW. ' The Reagan transition, in fact, is both behind schedule and over its budget—the hallmark shortcomings of the government it aims to reform. With new names leaked almost daily, its Cabinet-selection process seems likely t0 run a full month beyond the original target date. Transition 0 用 - cials, who say the budget hasn't been changed since 1976 , concede they have al- ready spent the $ 2 million allocated by Congress. Their fund raisers are canvass- ing Republican loyalists for donations tO cover the deficit, and the Carter Admin- istration is barely muffng its laughter. "They're going through the same thing we did—just on a grander scale," one White House aide said last week. He was right: Carter had made do with only 350 transition staffers and returned $ 38 , 网 tO the Treasury. Reagan's team faces other embarrassments as well—a series Of brush- fire disputes over policy pronouncements by impatient transitioners and a contro- versy over the appointment Of an OhiO Teamsters umon omcial tO an interim ad- visory panel. The wh01e process, said a disappointed veteran 0f the Nixon Admin- istration, seems "somewhat awkward and overblown. ' The problem, ⅲ large part, is that the Reagan forces are trying tO conduct an ex- haustive survey Of the executive branch, and they are using mainly neophytes. MOSt of the fact-finding, as transition chief Ed Meese prefers to call it, is conducted by more than 1 网 volunteers. Some of the jobs have been awarded tO Reagan support- ers WhO have no apparent expertise; anti- feminist Phyllis Schlafly, for one, was list- ed as an adviser on foreign policy. Ranking fact finders are supplied with an "Execu- tive omce setup"—a brown paper bag con- taining a yellow pad, a staple remover, four ballpoint pens, four pencils and a supply 0f paperclips—、 vith which they proceed t0 produce mountains Of paperwork. Tran- sition teams file three separate reports on each FederaI agency, detailing its pro- grams, personnel and their recommenda- tions for change—a volume Of data that one Carter Administration skeptic termed 'wasted motion. ' ' "Every Cabinet Secre- tary always starts from scratch, ' ' he said. "The real transition is the first six months. ” The influx of volunteers inevitably cre- ated problems 0f its own—most 0f all, a series Of inflammatory comments from the transition team' S eager conservatives. One anonymous aide leaked a list Of "social re- formers ” who he said should be removed し S. AFFA 旧 S from sensitive diplomatic posts. The list included Robert White, U. S. ambassador to EI SaIvador, and White quickly accused the transition team Of "malice and stupid- ity" for undermining his authority (NEWS- WEEK, Dec. 22 ). And Robert Neumann, chief Of the transition team for the State Department, publicly predicted that Rea- gan would pursue an "avowedly nation- alistic" foreign policy that would avoid "ab- stractions" like Jimmy Carter's emphasis on human rights. Neumann's remarks set 0 a minor uproar, and transition spokes- man James Brady said Neumann spoke only for himself.. "Our problem is that we have 1 , 5 開 people who can't resist the temp- tation tO expound on policy, ” sighed a sen- ior hand. "They speak without status, and they're not entirely accurate. B ut for six weeks they can pass themselves 0 as aides t0 Ronald Reagan. ' Saying No: There are domestic-policy disputes as well. Carter' s director Of the omce •of Management and Budget, James McIntyre, turned down a request from his successor, Rep. David Stockman 0f Michi- gan, for an early 100k at the 1982 Federal budget. "We can't be making our decisions with them looking over our shoulders and leaking stuff on why it was the wrong thing to do," an aide complained. carol Tucker Foreman, an Assistant Agriculture Secre- tary, similarly denied a transition-team member's request for files on her depart- ment' s legal strategy tO toughen regulations on cured pork products. Her reason : the transition volunteer, C. Donald Van Houweling, is a professional lobbyist for the National Pork Producers Council. Van Houweling denied conflict of interest, but Foreman was critical nonetheless. "They shouldn't send a person whO has such a stake in what is done here, ” she complained. The ten-week transition per10d, Foreman said, "creates a terrible hiatus' ' durlng which government employees "aren't sure what tO dO or whom tO listen to. ” Her complaint cut far deeper than a lame duck's lament, and Other criticsjoined in. Harvard Prof. Laurence E. Lynn Jr. , a former offlcial in the Nixon Administration, attacked the Reagan transition team' S "overcookedb' ap- proach tO public management. "Does get- ting the government 0 the backs 0f the American people begin with a bloated tran- whose most visible achievement sition . is a budget deficit?" Lynn asked. Another political scientist, Robert Wesson, suggest- ed that the nation would be better served if the interregnum were cut tO a bare ten days, forcing Presidential candidates tO re- cruit a "shadow Cabinet ” before the elec- tion. The message for Ronald Reagan was that his overture had gone flat—and the question for the nation was whether that discordant beginning would sour his Ad- ministration-to-be.
