Stricter Controls. Meanwhile, Bonn's relations with Washington remain cool. Although Carter at the London summit in May eased up on his demands that Schmidt should reflate the German economy, deep differences on nuclear policy remain. Bonn two weeks ago announced it would stop "for the time being" export of nuclear reprocessing and recycling plants. Schmidt insists that the Carter goal of a permanent ban is "unrealistic," since countries seeking atomic technology can easily buy it from the Soviet Union. When the two leaders meet in Washington in mid-July, Schmidt will repeat his argument to Carter that nonproliferation...
Even if the objections could be overcome, there would still be an oil overflow until one or another of the schemes could go into effect. As a temporary, though unlikely, patch, it has been suggested that the U.S. export Alaskan crude to Japan, swapping it for part of Japan's supply of oil from the Middle East. But that would require presidential approval and congressional concurrence. The President's decision is expected this week or next. The only other immediate way to use all the oil would be to ship it by tanker through the Panama Canal...
...about two years coffee drinkers have bitterly watched prices jump from $1.46 a Ib. to more than $4. A crop-killing frost in Brazil in 1975 touched off frantic bidding by buyers who feared a shortage; several coffee-producing countries aggravated the rise by increasing export taxes on the beans. Now the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that Brazil, which normally grows about a third of the world's supply, will harvest about 17 million bags of beans in the crop year that begins Oct. 1-not far from double the 1976-77 crop of 9.5 million bags...
...depress prices, they paradoxically overplanted. Reason: federal price supports are based on the percentage of acreage seeded, and farmers wanted to get as much of their land covered by the supports as possible. In addition, record-breaking wheat crops were harvested worldwide last year, cutting into American farmers' export markets. The U.S. consumes only about two-fifths of its wheat crop, relying on foreign buyers to gobble up the rest. Another bounteous global grain crop is forecast for this year, which will further soften demand for U.S. wheat. The Soviet Union, for example, is likely to gather...
...indeed. Last year the company accounted for 43% of French aircraft exports, worth $900 million, and earned profits of $35 million. As of the first of the year, it had turned out 1,312 Mirage III and Mirage 5 jet fighters (of which two-thirds were exported). Its export sales of warplanes, including the Mirage F1, the Alpha Jet and the Jaguar (built jointly with the British Aircraft Corp.), are unsurpassed by any other European military-aircraft maker...
