place in the crucial area of in
ternational trade.
There is reason to believe that
the Soviets may hope to win the
cold war by their maneuvers in
international trade. While less
dramatic than a doubleheader
space shot, the intensity Of their
trade efforts reveals the serious
ness they attach to this endeavor.
What are the Soviets buying?
Everything from complete chemi-
cal plants to coffee. But they
devote their most serious efforts
to what they want most the
heavy machinery and equipment
; that incorporate the latest tech
biological advances.
What are the Soviets selling?
Crude oil is rapidly displacing
lumber and other bulk raw ma
terials as the main Soviet method
of payment.
The much advertised progress
of Russian industry still has left
the Soviets far short of the
standards of efficiency of the
most advanced Western industrial
nations. But now, by exchanging
oil for Western technology, they
are on their way to catching up
without having to divert their re-
search efforts from military pro-
grams to industrial technology.
Their highly selective purchases
also provide them with models for
imitation. And, to the extent that
Soviet rulers are concerned with
consumer requirements, the pur-
chases help overcome domestic
shortages.
Plenty Of Oil
The Soviet bloc is well endowed
with vast oil reserves, and the
Russians know how to get oil out
of the ground quickly and eff
GENTLY. They also know that oil
is readily marketable around, the
world, II offered at cut-rate prices
or in barter for surplus commodi-
ties, or both.
Soviet oil is now being thrown
into the cold war in earnest. By
penetrating world oil markets,
Kremlin leaders are taking a big
step toward their avowed objec-
tive of world domination without
a shot being fired.
The Soviets strive for maximum
oil sales in hard-currency mar
kets, such as Western Europe and
Japan, where they also can OBJ
tain the critical machinery and
advanced technology they need.

under construction in free world
shipyardS at the beginning of
1862. In August Japanese ship
builders signed a contract in
Moscow to build IL 35,000-ton
tankers Cor the Russians.
The free world is thus pro-
viding the Soviet Union with the
critical materials and supplies it
needs to develop into one of the
worlds greatest petroleum pro-
ducing and exporting areas-as
well as the technology and ma
chinery to make it a leading in
dustrial power. In addition, West
ern and Japanese businessmen
have extended liberal credit to
the Soviet Union. Such credit al
lows Russia not only to defer
payments on current purchases,
but commits the Europeans and
Japanese to trade dependence on
the Soviet Union for years to
come.
The Soviet Union has been
able to attract and hold free world
customers by offering oil at
cut-rate prices. Official Soviet
statistics show that Western coun-
tries have been buying Red oil
at much lower prices than those
charged to the Russian satellite
countries. In 1860, for example,
West Germany bought Soviet
crude oil at $1.38 a barrel, while
the East Germans were forced to
pay $3.50 a barrel for the same
oil. The average price of Soviet
crude oil to the West in that year
was $1.57 compared to 5000 paid
by the Soviet satellites.
State Controlled Prices
This dual price policy is posi-
BILE because Soviet oil is not
subject to normal commercial
considerations. With their state
controlled economy, Kremlin lead
ers can set prices for their oil
that suit their current economic
and political objectives-and they
can cut their prices to any level
they desire.
Soviet oil disrupts world mar
kets out of all proportion to the
volume involved, because of the
discount prices at which it is
offered. International, privately
owned companies have found it
difficult to match these prices.
Such companies have obligations
to meet that the Russians never
have to consider.
International Oil companies, for
example, must pay royalties and
taxes to the producing countries;
maintain refineries, terminals, and
extensive distribution networks in
consuming countries; pay ade-
quate dividends to their share
holders; and, at the same time,
earn enough profit to expand
their operations to meet future
demand. The Russians have none
of these commitments.
If Red oil continues to penetrate
world markets as anticipated, the
Russians may be expected to in
crease their imports from the free
world from $4.4 billion in 1860
to $8.6 billion in 1872. Practically
all of these goods will be indus
trial machinery and equipment
from Europe and Japan. In ten
years, therefore, unless the tide
of Red oil is checked, the econo-
mics of Western Europe and ia
pan may perhaps be substantially
dependent on the Soviet Union.
Trade and Politics

ficials have already expressed
concern over Italy's growing de-
pendence on Red oil and Russian
markets. Now buying over 20

value trade least for economic
reasons and most for political

Dealing with the Russians can
not be regarded as trade in the
normal sense. History reveals
that the Kremlin turns trade on
and off to suit current Commu-
mist detectives. In the early
1930s the Russians expanded
their exports, including oil, for a
short period to obtain Western
capital goods and technology. AS
soon as they obtained what they
wanted from the West, trade with
the outside world was cut off
practically overnight.
Senator Monroney of Oklahoma
has predicted: 1.-THE Soviet eco
nomic offensive will succeed or
fail on the basis of the amount
of Soviet oil which can be ex-
ported in exchange for the goods
they need"
Lack Of Policy
Unfortunately, there is a con-
spicuous lack of common policy
among the nations of the free
world in recognizing the dangers
involved in trading technology for
Russian oil. Without such a pol
icy, the United States embargo
on strategic exports to, and i'm
ports from, the Soviet Union is
relatively ineffective.
Several proposals have been put
forth recently to deal with this
problem.
One suggestion is to continue
to urge such organizations as
NATO to point out to it's member
nations the dangers of depend
ence on Soviet oil.
NATO nations could also con-
slider restricting the export of crit
ical machinery and technology to
Russia, and ending the procure
ment of their military supplies
from refineries processing Red oil
Another suggestion is for United
States Government agencies to
encourage oil purchases from free
world sources of supply by those
countries receiving United States
aid.
In the final analysis, however,
a common agreement must be
reached by the nations of the
free world, if they are to prevent
the Soviet Unions trade often
sive from undermining their secu-
rity. The real struggle for suprem-
acy is not in outer space. 1t is
taking place right here on earth
in the crucial area of international
trade.
