If the U.S. were to increase its trade with the U.S.S.R. to the tune of, for example, $200 million, which is practically a 200 percent rise, and if this trade were primarily in consumer goods, it would make a slight difference in the amount of resources the Kremlin could divert to industrial uses.

Some 1,350 delegates from Communist Parties in 55 countries assembled in Moscow's Great Kremlin Palace to sit on straight wooden seats through long hours of speeches, to acquiesce in what they were told, and to applaud methodically...
