The critics of the Presidents detente policy complain that defining detente only in terms of preventing nuclear war is too narrow. and that a true peace can only be built on a moral consensus. They insist that the U.S. demand Soviet liberalization as a price of detente. The place to begin is to link trade with the Soviet Union to Soviet action in allowing Jews to emigrate. This view argues for a "morality" In our foreign policy. and claims that the U.S. is paying an unnecessarily high price for a limited and unstable detente. with the Soviet Union getting credits. wheat and strategic arms advantage. My view has been to support the policy of detente. even though the balance sheet on detente is mixed. and the contradiction between progress and setback cannot be fully resolved.
