Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - July 29, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news to vol. 92, no. 177 it. Pleasant Iowa wednesday evening july 29, 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain will the Oil geologists save our necks the foreign minister of Ruri Tania who always takes the Long View even at the risk of being mis branded As a cynic was discussing soviet policy a a it a ten to one a he said a that the background Page in your sunday newspaper will contain think pieces saying a that Moscow would like to bring Hanoi to the peace table but can to do it because of the Nasty red chinese cd that a Calm Down in the Middle East is in the works because neither of the two great atomic superpowers really wants a nuclear confrontation and c that the russians Are rather sorry for the czechoslovakian affair and would like to make amends for it by helping West Germany a Willy Brandt deliver something tangible on his Ost poli tik. A of course the hard news that comes with monday mornings paper invariably smears custard pie Over the faces of the sunday think piece artists. The Story of the 100-Pound rockets that hit Saigon discloses that the explosives were made in Russia. The latest communique from the diplomatic front in Washington speculates about the movement of Sam ii missiles to the Suez canal front and even to Syria and there is the further disclosure that the us. Is really sending phantom jets and electronic radar jamming gear to Israel. A was for the feeling that there is permanent Cool off in East Central Europe that favors Willy Brandt it must somehow be accommodated to the news that Yugoslavia and red China have suddenly become cozy an obvious indication that Tito and Mao Are huddling together for warmth precisely because they fear Brezhnev Means business about telling other socialist countries what to do. A a however said the foreign minister of rur Itania with an impish look in his Eye a i now find myself feeling that the optimistic think piece writers have something going for them. They done to realize Why they might very possibly turn out to be right and i even give them a Low d for their ability to link cause and effect. But it could be that the foreign policy line which the soviets have been following for years is about to be struck a mortal blow from a totally unsuspected source. A years ago a the foreign minister continued a i listened to your Whittaker Chambers who predicted that All soviet moves of the fifties and sixties would be predicated on the necessity of closing in on Western Europe from the Mediterranean South. Chambers kept pointing to Suez to the Oil Fields of the arabian countries and to Algeria and Morocco. And of course he was too per cent Correct in his fears. The russians have kept the us. Off balance by forcing it to stay in South Vietnam. Meanwhile they have been putting the squeeze on Israel. Eventually they expect to get control of the Arab Oil Fields All the Way from Libya to the persian Gulf. When and if this happens they will Tell Western Europe what to do if it wants to live through the Winter without freezing. A this a said the foreign minister a has been the grand design. A pity you did no to see it when Chambers saw it. But now just As the russians have reason to think Victory is in their grasp it could All turn sour. A a a i refer of course to the most recent news about Oil strikes in the North sea. Not too Long ago Phillips Petroleum announced that its Oil find in the Middle of the North sea would add More than seven billion barrels to the worlds Reserve Supply. And now comes a Story that Standard Oil has made a big strike off the norwegian coast. There is a third potentially big entry in the North sea Oil stakes the Teneco company has found Oil near the dutch coast. A so Western Europe May be off the Hook of dependency on Arab Oil just As the be. Could be free of Arab blackmail if it would Only get Busy about exploiting its Twenty billion barrel alaskan North slope find. You westerners continue to have the Luck that Bismarck once said belonged to drunks fools and the United states of America. You botch your foreign policy your think piece journalists have never Learned How to put two and two together and you let the marxists fool you into thinking they represent a world but then you strike Oil in Alaska and the North sea and All of Moscow a carefully Laid bets Are off. Your knowledge of history is nil but your technology is Superb a and we in Ruri Bloom steer tops in carcass contest Erie blooms crossbred charolais steer won the 1970 Quality beef carcass contest at the Henry county fair reports Richard l.
