...Latin America, as in the Near East and South Asia, the Soviet Union last year stepped up its efforts at economic, diplomatic and cultural penetration. To counter the Reds, the U.S. Government has fattened the Information Service budget for Latin America and broadened the lending program of the Export-Import Bank. But the most important barrier to Red penetration is the Latin Americans' own common-sense awareness of Communist aims and methods. From a Communist viewpoint, last week's reaction to Moscow's "mutual advantage" line was hardly encouraging...
...Hastings' practice to import the winter's supply of butter from Ireland in the fall, this to avoid high prices in New England when forage was scarce and the cows dried up. The students, forced to partake of this and other fruits of the steward's economy, persevered throughout the winter, but when spring came with its ample forage they grew restive...
...deny that Moroccans committed more rape than any other troops, but they are sole possessors of the statistics, and do not release them.

But it also includes revenue duties, which are imposed equally on domestic and foreign products, and are therefore not protective. If you exclude these, then the figure for Britain in 1954 would be 3.5%, which makes a difference to the comparison. Tariff levels are certainly important, but surely what...
...everyone is glad to see the Gonaxis arrive in California. The state has its own carnivorous snails, and for years they have been doing a good job of keeping native California snails in check. Why import a foreign variety? In reply, Clausen points to the fact that California snails have generally stuck to wild areas, and presumably could not be coaxed into orchards. More over, says Clausen, he does not fear that the Gonaxis will devour the Helix and turn to other food. Long before that happens, the law of supply and demand will take over, freezing the population...
