V. IS THE ENERGY CRISIS AFFECTING OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD?
The energy crisis is seriously affecting most of our allies. Our allies include France, West Germany, Japan, Italy, Israel, Portugal and Spain. All of these countries depend on foreign sources for most of their energy, more specifically oil. Japan is a highly industrialized country on an island with limited space and no energy resources to speak of. The Western European nations; France, West Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and their neighbor England do not have any appreciable amount of fuel resources. Israel is surrounded by hostile neighbors who have the fuel resources, but certainly will not share with her Canada, our northern neighbor, is well supplied for her own needs, but it is not in a position to contribute to our shortages. Russia, one of our adversaries, is supposedly well supplied although her exact situation is not known. Our southern neighbor, Mexico, is currently reluctantly dickering with us about making an arrangement for buying her natural gas. The many underdeveloped nations of the world in South America, Africa and Asia are caught by the rising prices for fuel as they try to attack their problems of development.
