Ever since the summit conference at Geneva in 1955 the U.S. and Russia have been trying to work out a cultural exchange agreement. Last week, after three months of negotiations, they signed one which, if carried out in good faith, might be an important "beginning of a beginning" (as Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson put it). Under its terms the two nations undertake, during 1958 and 1959, to swap...
...went, the U.S.-Russia cultural exchange agreement went a good way. But measured against the idea-or even the U.S. Government's original minimum conditions-it left much to be desired. It failed to 1) bind the Russians to stop jamming U.S. news broadcasts into Russia, 2) give the U.S. some minimum uncensored access to Russia's controlled press and radio and television to match the uncensored play Russia gets daily in the U.S., or 3) stop Russia from declaring much of its country off base to U.S. visitors, a ban that is reciprocated...

When Gaillard, then Finance Minister, devalued the franc last summer, pressure eased. As Premier he courageously curbed credit and imports, decreased the subsidies that are the bane of the French economy. Understood in last week's aid agreement was his pledge to hold his tough line, keeping 1958's budget deficit to a "manageable" $1.4 billion, and the trade deficit around $400 million. By 1959 Gaillard expects the retooled economy to stand on its own with the world. Since last December it has been doing just that. Exports, including such invisible factors as tourism, exceeded imports...
...Russians would ever permit such a fair. Neuburger got Manhattan Lawyer Marshall MacDuffie (who, as chief of the UNRRA mission to the Ukraine after World War II, had met Khrushchev) to talk to top Russian brass, himself talked long and hard with Russian trade officials. He got a written agreement to stage the fair last summer, canceled it at U.S. Government request after the Hungarian revolution, signed a new contract last July to exhibit this summer...
