TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, June 23, 19SS Expert Says ESussia Needs Time To ID)eaD With Many Problems (Editor i Mote: Ther is a big field for speculation as lo the reason for what undoubt edly is an important revamp ing of Russian foreign policy. The following assessment of Russia's position is given by an expert on Soviet thought and policies.) By W. A. RYSER Written For The United Press London ''U.R) Russia needs time in order to deal with some pressing problems of its own. This fact emerges after an ex tensive survey of recent internal developments in the Soviet Un ion by experts here. These experts believe that the current switch in Soviet foreign policy is due as much to diffi culties at home as to the firmness of the West. Formidable Problems Soviet government leaders seem to be confronted by a series of formidable internal problems which they need time to settle. These problems may be listed as: 1. The unresolved struggle for power. The main thing about the Russian Communist Party is that it has remained unpurged after the downfall of Premier Georgi M. Malenkov. This is attributed to the moderating influence of tne army, wnich is now more powerful than ever before, and in the failure of any one man to win supremeacy. The present period of government by com mittee is likely to continue until some candidate for Stalin's man tle emerges with the backing of both the Communist Party and the army. 2. The Agricultural Crisis: Russia's difficulties in producing enough food, publicly admitted by Communist Party First Secre tary Nikita S. Khrushchev, have not been overcome. Grandiose schemes including vast land rec lamation projects have failed to bring victory in the fight for more grain and more cattle. 3. The Industrial Lag: The re cent conferences which indus trial bosses have held in Moscow have shown that Russia is falling behind in new techniques and scientific invention. Productivity in industry remains low. Low productivity is becoming a major national problem because of the shortage of labor. As the result of the conferences, Lazar M. Kaganovich" has been named labor and wages boss and Vya cheslav Malyshev has been named head of a committee on new industrial techniques. 4. The Coordination of Eco nomic Plans and Help for Red rhina! There are Indications that the Kremlin plans to integrate its own and satellite economic systems in such a way as to give maximum aid to Red China in its industrialization campaign. The most immediate of the four problems is the struggle for power within the Communist Party. This struggle may be re solved before the next meeting of the All-Soviet Union Commu nist Party, due some time next year. The agricultural problem is a long range one. The latest time limit for the fulfillment of a target of 165,000,000 tons of grain is 1960. The problem of reorganizing Soviet science also is a long-term one. As for the industrialization of Communist China, the needs of that country are limitless.
