In any case it ia not the volume of trade between the Soviet bloc and the outside world percentage wise it constituted less than 2 per cent of total world trade in 1052 which makes this an important is sue now. Some very important changes have recently taken place in both East and West which make it acute. In the We3t the international market has been transformed from a seller's market into a buyer's market. No longer are the post war shortages the order of the day. Instead all Western countries now have surpluses of many goods for exports and are actively seeking foreign markets. In this situation, with keen competition developing within the non-Communist world, "many sellers are casting willing eyes in the direction of, the vast markets controlled by communism in the East. And their governments are giving approval. In the East, with the death of Stalin and the Inauguration of pro grams to speed up the increase in stanaara of living, there has arisen great demand for non-strategic .consumer goods and foodstuffs which the Communist governments are willing to satisfy in part by purchases abroad. Deal after deal with non-Communist nations this year concluded by the Russians and their Allies has provided for supplying to Russia of non-strategic materials and foods, such as cloth from Italy or France or oranges from Israel. While the war was going on in Korea, while the markets for all export, goods in the West were gen erly brisk, while the Communists were only interested in buying ma- cnmery ana raw materials writes had war potential, the issue was fairly clear cut. Now it's not. There are these fundamental factors: . The Communists do get advan tage from trade with the West. In the 30s Western equipment per mitted them to industrialize the So viet Union more rapidly. Right now the Communists are continuing their drive to industrialize the Com munist world including China and they need capitalist help. While their interest in consumers goods and foodstuffs from the West this year is intense, the Reds con tinue to set their long term sights on breaking down completely the Western restrictions on trade in strategic goods and equipment. Their trade drive is not just "post-Stalin". It began before that. A year before Stalin's death the Russians oiganized the Moscow economic conference to dangle in front of Western businessmen or ders for non-restricted commodities and the prospects for larger orders "should trade restrictions be abolished." The U.S.S.R. can, if It wishes, have great weight in international markets both as buyer and seller. The things it can export in large quantities make . up a formidable list, and it can always use almost anything in lis own economy or in its satellites which it can get from abroad.
