...Communist world has experienced a startling agricultural revolution. Machines are replacing men in the fields; with countless innovations, science has vastly increased the yield of the earth. But at a time when the U.S. is glutted with food, Western Europe produces more than it can eat, and per capita farm production rises steadily even in such "underdeveloped" countries as Burma, Thailand and Formosa, the Communist bloc is beset by agricultural troubles that result in belt tightening and hunger...
Like most big U.S. cities, Cincinnati has crime-breeding slums and shifting, often antagonistic population groups. Since Schrotel took office in 1951, U.S. crime has increased nearly 100%, but Cincinnati's has risen only 21.8%. On a per capita basis, Cincinnati last year had 46.2% less larceny and 61.4% less robbery than the average of major U.S. cities; this year's figures, still being compiled, run much the same. Juvenile delinquency last year climbed 9% in the asphalt jungles across the U.S., but Cincinnati's rate actually decreased by 1.4%. With impressive unanimity, the citizens of Cincinnati...
Britain spends less than half as much per capita on education as the U.S. One result: in proportion of university students to population, Britain ranks 25th among all countries, behind Spain, for example, and even Bulgaria. Another result is such a severe shortage of teachers in Britain's overcrowded state schools (7,089,791 pupils) that just to cut the size of classes to a teachable 30 pupils apiece would require 110,000 more teachers-an increase of more than one-third...
...More Planes. For all its troubles, East Germany today is the sixth largest industrial manufacturer in the world (after the U.S., Russia, West Germany, Great Britain, France). Yet the stern program announced three years ago to match West German per capita consumption by 1961 failed miserably, is no longer even mentioned. Largely at fault is the huge drain on the economy resulting from shipments of heavy industrial equipment to the rest of the Soviet bloc; East Germany is the machine shop for Russia (it produces one-half of the Soviet Union's total ma chine imports) and half...
...forward "a plan for debate, not a condition prior to aid." U.S. dollars were only one part of a program that called for land and tax reforms, the creation of a Latin American common market, a solid increase in production and exports. The goal: to raise Latin American per-capita income by "at least 2.5%" a year, to encourage each country to provide better health facilities, housing and education...
