...journals. Poland's Foreign Trade Minister Witold Trampczynski recently declared that "the integration of Western Europe is a fact today," warned that Polish agricultural products and machinery exports may not be able to compete as the Common Market's tariffs to outsiders go up. Party Chief Wladyslaw Gomulka has been urging Polish industrial managers to produce better goods at lower prices. But the program of the Communist economic bloc (COMECON) is spotty; in East Germany, output is in such a sorry state that industrial control has been transferred from local party men to planners sent in from Moscow...

The lesson-that free farming works while collectivized agriculture does not-obviously interests Moscow. Khrushchev, while still insisting on collectives, has raised financial incentive for increased output.

Said he recently: "Religion is firmly anchored in a great part of the population. It is difficult to say how long religious beliefs will maintain themselves in Poland. Some think for decades, maybe even longer...
