...time, Ceausescu has rigidly adhered to Stalinist-era central planning. A program celebrated as "20 Years of Light" has actually plunged the country into economic darkness. To cut in half a foreign debt that passed the $12 billion mark in 1982, Rumania has exported so much of its farm output that its own people are often forced to do without staples such as eggs and beef.

The country wound up slashing its output from a peak of 10.3 million bbl. a day in 1981 to ! a low of 2 million bbl. a day last June. During that time its annual oil revenue fell from $113 billion to $28 billion. Many of the other twelve countries in OPEC, meanwhile, conducted a thriving business by secretly cheating...
