. Dear editor:
According to news stories in >
the papers recently, the OPEC
countries can’t stick together
on the price of their oil. They
meet to set production quotas
and a price, then go home and-
open the valves and cut the*
price in order to stay in
business. Instead of $34 a bar-'
rel, they’ll take $32 or $30 on:
whatever they can get. Acting:
just like farmers.
This, some financial expert*,
say, is going to wreck the oil:
business and maybe bring;
financial ruin on the;
economies of the world. If the
price goes below $28 a barrel,',
lookout.
As I understand this, if the-
price of oil keeps dropping,
then the prices of gasoline wijlj
fall, and we’ll all face finar^i;
cial ruin. Makes a man shud-
der to pull into a filling station.
J I’ve read that it costs 25c $
barrel to pump OPEC oil out-
of the ground. It didn’t cost
anything to put it there. >>,-
I've been trying my best to
work up some sympathy fop
an outfit that has that sort of p
mark-up, but I just can’t seent
to swing it.
Another thing I’d like more
information on is the plight’^
big American banks who ha vet;
loaned billions of dollars to the!;
undeveloped or backward*
countries and now can’t get k
back.
In fact, it's argued that if tw
banks foreclosed, the wort!
money market would collapse.
I don’t know anything about
that, but what I’d like to know
is how did those backward
countries con the banks into
lending them the money in the
first place? That’s the kind of
backwardness I’d like to learn
more about. It’d sure be some
handy information to have. J
know lots of farmers I coun-
sel! it to, and maybe some c»
makers.
