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.
