RUSSIAN ECONOMIC
GAINS CHALLENGED
Attack by Australians in Pa
cific Institute Is Re.
ported.
BY the Associated Press.

YOSEMITE, Calf, August pa
spokesman who insisted he remain un-
identified said Australians challenged
before the Institute Of Pacific Re-
lations today Soviet representatives
claims Of sharp economic gains in
Russia.
The informant said the Australian
group used figures presented by the
Russians in an effort to demonstrate
that improvement in the Soviet Union
was not out Of line with that In other
countries.
He said the Australians presented
figures showing more than three
fourths of Russia's income was agri-
cultural, which was up only 10 per
cent, according to Soviet figures.
On that basis. the spokesman add
ed, the challengers argued Russian
industry would have to show a 600
per cent gain in order to make up the
balance of the improvement reported
by the Soviet representatives, where
as their figures showed an industrial
betterment of only 81 per cent.
The Russian figures we're chal-
lenged, said the informant, with the
remark that lit is not enough that the
world be led through red sea Of blood
to promised land which does not
exist"
A Russian representative took quick
exception to the sea of blood" state
ment, he said, with:
Our people do not wish to reach
their aims through red sea of blood
nor rush other peoples to do So
The Soviet representative added
the Russians hoped that any changes
in the world, which they regarded as
unavoidable. would not be the fault
Of his country.
The discussion took place at round
table meeting of the institute. which
was not open to the public and at
which unofficial representatives Of the
various Pacific nations spoke their
personal opinions informally.
Reports on Russia's affairs, present.
ed yesterday, stressed as one important
point the argument that her economic
development under a non-profit sys-
tenn did not constitute a menace to
the world trade of other nations.
