...handshake. Though the Germans rarely strike (only 34 strikes all last year), the French have a way of striking at any time without warning; wildcat walkouts are especially prevalent in Britain, where the courts have little power to intervene. U.S. businessmen are often taken aback by the anti-capitalist polemics, greater militance and puzzling multiplicity of the labor unions.

The Communists try to swap their raw commodities for sophisticated capitalist technology, but recently they have been forced by crop failures to import fewer Western machines and more Western food. For both Russia and Communist China the biggest import from the West is grain. China now takes more than 50% of Australia's wheat exports and 10% of Canada's; last week it agreed to buy about another $100 million worth of grain from Canada. Most of the U.S.'s $340 million worth of exports to the East last year was in the form...
