and sophisticated techniques that v/ouid otherwise be beyond their
reach*
Without this direct collaboration and support from NATO (to which
Portugal paid only 0.3% of infrastructure costs in 1966) it would
be completely impossible for Portugal to continue her colonial
wars. Portugal has the lowest average income of any European
country yet its percentage of Gross National Product spent in
defence expenditure (8% in 1964-) comes second only to the United
Statesc In 1967, 51.5% of the country's state revenues were spent
on defence.

first steps was an agreement with France for a long-term loan of
# 125 million for the construction of 20 vessels. Between the
beginning of the wars and December, 1965, 82 new units were added
to the Portuguese navy. In June, 196?, a new decree granted the
navy £4-, 750,000 until 1970 for new installations and training centres.
The general tendency seems to be for Portugal to let her allies
supply her v/ith the larger ships so that she can concentrate on
facilities and smaller ships such as patrol vessels and landing
crafto The navy has an important role in controlling the colonies
(of the part played by the Nuno Tristao, Sao Tome, Diogo Gomes and
Malembo in crushing the first Angola uprising) by patrolling the
long coastlines and many navigable rivers and lakes: about 20
gun-boats are active in anti-guerrilla activities in Lake Niassa.
It has significantly been pointed out that Portugal regularly
