Nations Urge Talks On Resources And Economic Reform
At a two day summit in Bangui nine heads of state including Giscard d Estaing urged world talks on raw materials to create a new global economic order with solidarity between developing and industrial nations. The meeting also backed reform of the world monetary system toward stable adjustable parities and discussed OPEC’s push for broader oil talks to include all raw materials. Preliminary oil conference meetings are set for Paris on April 7. Also covered were campaign finance figures showing large cash on hand for many House and Senate candidates ahead of 1976 races, with notable sums held by Henry M Jackson and others, prompting questions about use of surplus campaign funds.
