Republicans were ready with their own kind of investigation. Ohio's Senator Robert Taft took time out from planning his western political tour to announce the membership of two subcommittees of his Joint Committee on the Economic Report. They will hit the road in mid-September for six weeks of price hearings in cities of the East, the mid-continent and the far West...

Nations that are weak owing to their economy will...

But the Soviet Union had also developed another kind of economic pincers-the so-called "joint company." The pattern was 50-50 ownership by the Soviet Union and the local government, 100% administration by Soviet-picked executives. The function of the joint companies was to keep goods flowing into Russia. Through the joint-stock company and alleged reparations, Moscow had seized drum-tight control over...
