The Conference on International Economic Cooperation has all the appearances of a floating crap game: After the windup of this eighteenmonth Paris conference it moves over to UNCTAD, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. This points up the need for the U.N. to sponsor a permanent international clearinghouse on the exchange of data and the pricing of world goods and commodities. It would function as a sort of securities and commodities exchange commission that remains sensitive to the varieties of economic systems and mixtures, but is somehow able to establish guidelines on the relative values of goods, services, and commodities. Such an institutionbuilding process was a major recommendation of the Second International Conference on Environment and Society.
