The analysis said that if the West
would assist the industrialization
plans of the East with heavy ma
chinery and manufactured goods
the East could eventually supply
more than one fourth of the Vests
total import requirement in food
and raw materials and more than
all the Vests prewar imports OF
wheat.
The survey warned that unless the
countries of Europe increase their
industrial production and recon-
struct their foreign trade to the
best advantage, Western living con-
ditions will drop even below thei1
present level.
Problems Are Cited.
Main problem of the Western
group, the survey said, is the deficit
in its balance of payments, especially
with the dollar sphere Main prob
lem of the Eastern group, it said, is
how to achieve the most rapid
mdustrialization possible.
The report said exports from East
to West, now well below their prewar
level, could be fully restored within
few years If Western Europe
could expand export of machinery
and fertilizers.

Trade Revival Stressed.
A revival of trade between East
and West Europe would be "one
indispensable element" in the solu-

the survey said, but added:
