Embargo Is Beginning to Pay off

To Russia's weakness In the
manufacture Of capital goods
must be added the salient
facts now emerging about the
agricultural difficulties of the
Soviet and her satellites. The
need to import grain is a glar-
ing example Of the breakdown
of the Soviet agricultural econ
omy. There is a big bread
basket behind the Iron Cur
tain but communism has failed
to develop it, and in that di-
rection lies potential trouble on
the political side and possible
revolt, as the Hungarian food
riots Just reported may indi-
cate
Meanwhile, the Soviets are
trying to conduct a propa-
ganda in Asian countries to
give the impression they can
help them out with economic
aid. The Stassen report de-
hunks those claims.
Everything now would seem
to point to the dire necessity
Of a change Of policy by the
present rulers in the Kremlin.
They face an internal as well
as an external crisis. They
need time for reconstruction
economic. military and polit-
ical. There is only one way
to get it-by conciliatory talk.
There Is only one place to
seek tin conferences with
the heads of the Western
governments.
The Soviets win probably
make some startling proposals
at Geneva-for they need
goods. and they will do almost
anything to get machinery
and materials. It's a time for
wariness on the part Of the
free world. For it will be re-
called that Hitler was allowed
to import war materials from
allied countries UP to almost
the beginning of World War
II, just as militaristic Japan
bought her raw materials in
America in preparation for
her subsequent attack on the
United States. Economic
policy has become in modern
times as significant a part of
national defense as military
weapons themselves.

Complete Russion Victory Is Forecast

Mrs. Montgomery Victim of KremIin's
New Policy OF Sweetness and Light

Tass, the Soviet Union News
Agency, has withdrawn the
press credentials Of an Amer
lean woman correspondent,
Mrs. Jean Montgomery, who
has represented 1t here since
about 1899.
United States officials are
guessing that Mrs. Montgomery
has been sacrificed to the
Kremlin's new sweetness and
light policy. Many people re-
sented the fact that an Amer
can was reporting to the Off
cial Communist press service
and members of Congress
especially have freely shown
their irritation.
The White House, the State
Department and the congress
sional press galleries have re-
ceived a formal request to take
Mrs. Montgomery from their
lists Of accredited correspond
ents. It was signed by Georgi
N. Bolshukov. chief Of bureau.
The letter said that Tass
would continue to be repre-
sented by Mr.. Bolshukov and
Vladimir B. Paramonov. Both
are Russians and relative new
comers. Mr.. Bolshukov has
been here about a year and
Mr.. Paramonov was trans

It is Mrs: Montgomery who
is the familiar figure, a regu-
lar attendant for many years
at the press conferences of the
President and Secretary of
State and always present in the
Capitol and at important hear
ings. In the Senate press gallery
she had a private telephone
booth with a connection to the
TasS Office in the National
Press Building and her own
desk. Her most immediate
neighbor, it was noted with
relish, was The Wall Street
Journal, which, of course, had
similar privileges, as do other
major newspapers.
She was in the Senate gall

her usual good spirits, and
gave no sign that she expected
to be leaving. She has q home

Slowly but surely the real
reasons for the Russian desire
for a conference "at the sum-
init" and the motives for the
super-friendly expressions by
>Khrushchev at the American
Embassy in Moscow are be-
ginning to emerge. They are
to be found in a lengthy re-
port to Congress just sub
mitted by Harold Stassen as
director of the Foreign Opera
tions Administration. It tells
the story of Soviet distress
on the economic front.
Without strong industrial
power, military armament to-
day is difficult to produce.
Hence, Soviet Russia knows
she will lag behind in the
armament race unless she can
solve her difficulties in get
ting raw materials and ma
chinery from the West.
Without a steady improve
ment in the standard Of liv-
ing, particularly In food dis
tribution, Soviet Russia faces
trouble internally and inside
the satellite states.
Soviet Russia can turn for
relief only to the Western
countries. Moscow is willing
to make political concessions
in exchange for economic con-
cessions.
What the Stassen report re-
veals is that the Soviet bloc
is being hurt by transaction
controls" and transit con-
trolls" The first Of these was
imposed by the West to pre-
vent evasions Of export con-
trolls "by prohibiting sales of
embargoed goods to the Soviet
bloc by residents of free world
countries regardless Of the
source Of the goods" The
second set Of controls was de-
signed ito prevent the diver
sion to the Soviet bloc of en-
bargoed items ostensibly bound
from one free-world country
to another" The Foreign OPP
erations Administration says:

measures, the free-world gov

previously"
Despite, therefore. some
loosening up and broadening
Of definitions of strategic items
which was criticized last year,
the net result. In the opinion
Of the Foreign Operations Ad-
ministration, has been to put
a crimp in Soviet efforts to get
heavy goods and materials.
"As Of this writing" says
the report. mo spectacular ex-
pansion of East-West trade

modify lists were revised"
The fact is the Soviet econ
omy is lopsided. It cannot
provide the export articles to
pay for the stuff imported. It's
the same old exchange prob
lem that other countries have
faced. but it's a tougher prop
osition for the Soviets be-
cause Of the embargoes placed
by the West on trade with the
Soviet bloc, including Red
China.
The embargo policy is be,
ginning to pay of. It is pinch
ing the Soviets. This is i'm
portant news to the free
world, especially those on the
pacif1st side who continually
argue that the only alternative
to appeasement is preventive
war. They do not realize that
a third course is in actual
operation today to prevent the
outbreak Of war. It is the in
flexible decision OF the allies
to keep strategic materials and
machinery from getting into
the hands Of the Soviet bloc.
II Soviet Russia had a free
government - and only free
governments can be trusted
today - there would be no
question about allowing trade
Of all kinds to be carried on
with the peoples of the Soviet
bloc. The trade weapon has
become almost as important a
deterrent Of war as military
armament.
