Maybe it was the fleshpots and schlag parlors of lovely Vienna, amid which the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries assembled for its quarterly meeting last week. Whatever the reason, the gathering of the 13-nation cartel that controls about two-thirds of the non-Communist world's crude oil eventually dissolved into a Mad Hatter's tea party of illogic. The sharply rising oil prices imposed by O.P.E.C. in the course of the past year have been largely responsible for spiraling international inflation.

All received a heavy dose of Western culture, and their concepts of national leadership were molded in the pattern of the imperial traditions by which they had been ruled. They were indoctrinated in character patterns thought necessary in the West to achieve supreme power in industrialized political democracies, although the traits, such as charisma or coolness under fire, have often degenerated into parody. Such leaders are less concerned with providing...
