PERSPECTIVE ON THE NEWS July 30, 1979 Issue

Shoring up international stability

The current world crisis sparked by the oil shortage includes these primary mental roots: confusion, selfishness, and fear.

• Confusion evidenced in the inability of governments to formulate, much less implement, the kind of forsighted, organized, and concerted plans of action needed to remedy the energy shortage. Failure thus far to do so has raised doubts in the minds of some about the effectiveness of free societies in meeting such challenges.

• Selfishness evident in the insistence of individuals and special interest groups that their needs and wants take precedence over the needs of others and of international conditions.
