Valley s article in the monthly French government sponsored National defense review was Likely to please both his Bosses . Gen Lauris Norstad supreme Allied commander i Europe and French president Charles de said the creation of a graduated scale of deterrents is Valley indispensable to Allied strategy something that Norstad who has 20 divisions an wants 30, has been arguing All along. Valley also said one trouble wit even tactical that is Small size nuclear armaments is that the Only North Atlantic treaty organization nato countries that have their own Are the United states and de Gaulle has refused to allow atomic armaments on French soil unless France can share an British atomic know How. Lessons from Korea Valley wrote after the Korea War it became evident that a Radical Reform of the Allied system of defense was he added the United states quickly Fol Lowed by the other nato Conn tries believed it had found a Solu Tion in augmenting the Power of its. Atomic bombs hoping this Mas Sive deterrent could reduce the role of the forces stationed on the euro Pean continent to that of a watch dog. But after several years it was realized that soviet threats were diversifying and that Europe remained exposed to All sorts of minor enterprises that it pleased the adversary to imagine.
