Last week, the OAS issued precisely that warning. By a vote of 15 to 4 (Mexico, Chile, Uruguay and Bolivia voting against), the foreign ministers approved mandatory diplomatic and economic sanctions against Communist Cuba and passed a crucial resolution defining any future Castro subversion as outright "aggression."

World prices of copper, lead and zinc have jumped because of political unrest in Chile and Africa. This year also, prospectors struck oil in Alberta, gas in British Columbia and nickel in Manitoba. Geologists estimate the value of the Timmins find at $1 billion, and many of them believe it ultimately will return much more...
