The interaction of the ionic lattice with the superconducting
condensate is treated in terms of the electrostatic force in
superconductors. It is shown that the surface dipole supplies
the force responsible for the volume difference of the normal
and superconducting states. Assuming this mechanism we argue
that the usual parametrization of the theory of deformable
superconductors should be revisited.
