Last year, said Khrushchev, the Soviet Union produced 71 Ibs. of meat per capita as against 226 Ibs. in the U.S., 259 quarts of milk as against 362½ in the U.S., and 6 Ibs. of butter as against 8½ Ibs. in the U.S. "This year we will get as much butter and perhaps even more than the U.S. produced last year.

Troops were ordered to see special indoctrination films on Sunday mornings to keep them from attending Mass. In many state restaurants and canteens, meat was served regularly on Friday, even if it was unavailable during the rest of the week. Religious processions were drowned out by jazz-blaring loudspeakers.
