Credit from the West would
be the readiest answer to Mr..
Khrushchev's problem of accel-
Grating his Nations rate Of
growth. He has managed since
1860 to borrow about $500
million a year in five-year
credits from the Western
European countries. But the
repayments are falling due and
he now is obliged to repay
approximately as much as he is
able to borrow.
Mr.. Khrushchev has met this
crisis with an effort to secure
longer credit terms from the
West. He wants 15-year loans
to finance his chemical indus
try and the British are anxious
to do business with him.
Competition Feared
United States officials are
deeply concerned that II the
British set a precedent for
these long-term loans, they
will provoke a competition
throughout Europe to make
sales to the Soviets with gener-
Gus terms.
If the competition becomes
keen, the Soviets could accom-
plish with capitalist credit the
speedy industrialization that
would give validity to their
claims for communism. The
precedent of Adolph Hitler,
who financed Germany's ex-
pansion in the 1930s with q
massive range Of credits, has
been cited to the British.
American officials do not
accept the old thesis Of "the
fat Russian" q Communist
rendered content by prosperity
and unwilling to press for
world conquest. They argue
that a Russian who became
suddenly fat could also become
arrogant and aggressive.
1t would be equally unprom-
iSing, In the American view,
to have the Soviet economy
deteriorate to the point Of
producing a desperate Russian,
who could be dangerously
willing to risk everything.
American policy-makers see
the best promise Of peace in q
Russia that is progressing
slowly under constant econom-
ic pressure. The pressure will
force the Russian leaders to
concentrate their resources on
their domestic needs and avoid
foreign adventures. The slow
progress will maintain their
internal stability and their
disinclination to be rash.
The intelligence research has
shown that the present pro-
greSS within the Soviet Union
Is matched by very substantial
.pressures. The diplomatic
effort to avert the shift Of
allied policy that would tighten
these pressures will be a sig
nificant aspect Of the coming
year.
