...time the delegates in Vienna spend scrutinizing Israel's role in this trade would be far better spent in checking the U.N.'s own figures. There, they will find that the nations that criticize South Africa the loudest are often those that profit most from covert trade with her. Statistics from the International Monetary Fund reveal that Israel is ranked as South Africa's 20th largest trading partner, accounting for 4 percent of her imports and exports.

The loudest came from Lee Iacocca, chairman of Chrysler Corp., which is counting on small cars to help fuel its comeback. Iacocca called the GM-Toyota arrangement "fundamentally bad," and then added: "As an American, I get mad when I hear of deals like this." Said Paul Tippett, chairman of American Motors...
