On one side are two dozen or so industrialized, non-Communist states whose 750 million citizens consume most of the world's resources, produce most of its manufactured goods and enjoy history's highest standard of living.

Their purpose: to discuss ways in which their countries can cooperate...

Editorialized the Times: "It is no exaggeration to say that for the financial system of the United States, for the reputation of that country, and for the rest of the non-Communist industrial world, it could be a disaster.
