The world economic position and prospects have worsened further in the last three months. In the United States and Japan, in particular, recessionary conditions are proving to be more marked and more prolonged than we had expected, and it looks as though by the end of the year all the major industrial countries, with the possible exception of France, will have experienced at least one quarter in which output has fallen or at best shown no appreciable rise. The other developed countries have fared better, but we no longer expect there to be any growth of output in the OECD area either in the second half of the year or in the year as a whole. In 1975 the position should be rather better, at least by the second half. We expect OECD countries' aggregate GNP to grow by about 2 per cent year-on-year and nearly 3 per cent between the fourth quarters of 1974 and 1975.

В статье рассматривается социально-политический портрет Ф. Рузвельта, который, несмотря на тяжёлую болезнь, в первой половине XX века не только стал 32 президентом США, но и умело управлял страной в период во время мирового экономического кризиса и Второй мировой войны. Статья особенно актуально сегодня, в век толерантности, инклюзии и высоких технологических возможностей.In article F.Roosevelt's sociopolitical portrait which, despite of heavy illness, in first half XX centuries not only became 32 president of the United States is considered, but also skilfully operated the country during during a world economic crisis and the World War II. Article especially actually today, in a century of tolerance, инклюзии and high technological possibilities.

The world economic scene has changed little since May. Devaluation of the franc, which had seemed likely for more than a year, is now an accomplished fact. Otherwise the scene remains dominated, as it has been throughout 1969, by the widespread expectation of an upward revaluation of the deutschemark after next month's elections in West Germany and by the struggle in the United States to control inflation by monetary means. A forecast of the immediate future of the deutschemark now calls, however, for political rather than economic judgement. Similarly in France much will depend upon the rigour of deflationary measures to be introduced by the government and upon the reactions which they may evoke from the trades unions and their members. In this issue, therefore, we direct our main attention to prospects in the United States, where it is at least reasonably clear what aims the authorities will be pursuing in coming months.

Last February we suggested that the world economic situation presented governments with two main problems in 1971. One, the problem of world-wide inflation, was generally recognised. The other, the problem of the growing disequilibrium in the balance of payments of the United States, appeared to be inadequately appreciated. OECD, for example, had suggested two months earlier that the United States would combine a real economic growth rate of 4 per cent with a surplus of $2 billion on the current balance of payments. We ourselves predicted a growth rate of 3 per cent and a current deficit of $¾ billion, but even these figures proved over-optimistic. The rise in real GNP reached only 2 ¾ per cent and, partly because of strikes, there was probably a current deficit of the order of $3½ billion.

The July measures were followed by a halt to the increase in the gross domestic product and almost certainly by a slight down-turn. So far there is no indication of significant change in the balance of payments situation since the second quarter, although the measures halted speculation against sterling and have been followed by a renewed inflow of foreign funds. The world economic environment now seems somewhat less favourable to an improvement in the United Kingdom's payments situation than it did in September, in spite of the recovery in the United States. The main reasons for a more cautious prognostication now lie in a pause in the economic expansion of western Europe; this has contributed to the weakness of commodity prices and is therefore limiting the prospects for expanding exports to primary producing countries.

The article discusses and evaluates theories and models of tourism competitiveness particularly those of Crouch and Ritchie (1999), Dwyer and Kim (2003) and World Economic Forum (2018). Wiklund, J., & Shepherd, D. (2005) the models enable and tries to enlighten more on how they facilitate the understanding and application of tourism competitiveness. World Travel and Tourism Council (2018) competitiveness in the travel and tourism industry is widely preached however, there is no uniform understanding and application of the concepts of competitiveness (Andrades-Caldito L Sánchez-Rivero, M. & Pulido-Fernández J. 2013). World Travel and Tourism Council (2018) evidently, there are many competitive variations among the top and advanced tourism destinations in the world. Austria is on position one in tourism infrastructural and products competitiveness, France is number one on tourists' visitations but the United States of America and China is number one on receipts/income realized from tourism. This clearly shows that if the models were perfect and uniformly applied then only one destination could have been number one in all aspects of visitation, infrastructural development, and income generated from the tourism industry. This clearly shows that there is a need for fresh research and development of the models to suffice the variations in the situation. The analysis, evaluation, and comparison of models is based on the research methodology, application (practice), variables used, assumptions and generalizations

At Moscow on June 29 President Nixon joined with Soviet leader Brezhnev in signing a ten-year pact. Building upon the three-year commercial agreement of October, 1972, between the two countries, the pact proposed the further promotion of Soviet-American comrfierce by providing a framework for the discovery of new economic opportunities and the fostering of trade activities, including cooperation by American and Soviet organizations in joint enterprises.In assessing the prospects of Soviet-American trade relations, it is essential to consider carefully the world economic situation, the Soviet Union's role as a world trader, and also the stance of the United States vis-à-vis the contemplated commerce.
