In France, the newspaper Le Monde observed: "The American arguments would have carried more weight if the U.S. had adopted a more responsible attitude on energy pricing; if several years ago they had developed the means to export their abundant coal reserves; and if, finally, Mr. Reagan had not in the name of the sacrosanct laws of the market, compromised the financing of synthetic fuels on the grounds of profit...
