...journal, Viată Economica, Rumania's Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej warned that Comeconomics, if pushed to the limits Moscow envisions, might well drive Rumania out of the scheme. If the Russians persisted in their efforts to relegate Rumania to the role of a mere supplier of raw materials (primarily oil), then Khrushchev might just as well count Rumania out as far as any assistance in Russia's fight with the Red Chinese was concerned. After long consideration, Izvestia found his objections justified. Even more significant was the publication this month in Moscow's journal, Problems of Peace...
Crossing the Line. It was the first time that the recalcitrant Rumanian's position had been acknowledged by the Soviet press, and the simple publication of Gheorghiu-Dej's argument for economic individualism was reinforced by the fact that the Russian ideologues offered no rebuttal. Actually a counter argument would have been useless, for last week teams of globe-trotting Rumanians were already busy crossing party lines all over the world, and making friends in the process...
Having acknowledged Rumania's right to pursue its economic future, Moscow hoped in return for help from Gheorghiu-Dej in the polemical struggle with Red China. But last week, when Rumanian Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer returned from a nine-day Kremlin visit, it seemed that Rumanian cooperation would be limited at best. Khrushchev hopes to convene a huge Red rally-probably some time this fall-to read the Chinese Communists out of the movement...
...Europe's Communist nations that would have left East Germany and Czechoslovakia as the chief industrial producers of Eastern Europe's Communist world. Under this plan, Rumania, with its oil and farm produce, would have remained largely a provider of raw materials. Rumanian Communist Boss Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, wanting industries of his own, said no to Nikita. Looking outside the Soviet bloc, he proceeded to purchase iron ore from India and turned to an Anglo-French consortium for a $40 million steel-rolling mill plant at Galati, in the heart of Rumania's budding industrial region. Soon...
Before the Chinese attack on Moscow last month, Dej had sent a delegation headed by Premier Ion Maurer to Peking to plead for an end to the polemics. Dej was afraid that any worsening of the split would force Khrushchev to tighten his grip on the Eastern European satellites, and Rumania was doing well without any more help from Nikita. Rumania boasts the highest industrial growth rate in Europe, a phenomenal 15%, and has achieved that growth by defying Moscow. The original role Khrushchev had charted for Rumania under its Comecon plan-the Red version of the Common Market...
