Abstract
The purpose of this study is to penult a determination
of whether actions taken by the Department of Defense can hope
materially to alleviate the serious international balance of
payments problem which the United States faces. In order to do
this it was necessary, first, to study briefly the substance of
what the balance of payments problem is, combined with the interrelated
gold flow problem, and then, to analyze the broad
spectrum of actions which the Department of Defense has taken
and plans to take in the future. In making the study, the author found the advice and
assistance of various individuals in the Balance of Payments
Division, Budget Directorate, Department of Defense, and in the
Office of Business iSconomics, Department of Commerce, to be
invaluable. Also, many statistics compiled by these two offices
were fundamental to this study, but the use of a fiscal year by
the Department of Defense versus the use of a calendar year by
the Department of Commerce caused problems of reconciliation
which were sometimes insurmountable. Different categorisations
and combinations of items contributing to the balance of
payments also caused some difficult problems of analysis.
