Certainly not to Russia which has surplus oil of its own to sell And markets in the underdeveloped parts of the world are very small — even should these nations have hard currency to pay for the oil The fact is that embargoes Imposed by the Arabs at the time of the war and sporadically maintained since failed to seriously Impair the West's oil supply J Cordell Moore assistant secretary of the Interior has said there are no plans for emergency shipments of oil to Europe in the third quarter of this year and that he did not think there would be any need for such shipments in the fourth quarter The oil simply is getting through embargo or no embargo The long range danger for the Arab countries is that shutting off oil sales to the West and blocking tanker movements -
