What Can They Sell? Trade with the Red bloc is still a fraction of the non-Communist world's trade. Although French exports to China tripled from 1955 to 1956, they still totaled less than $23 million last year. Few expect a sudden spurt if the restrictions are lifted. British exports to China, worth $30 million last year (less than 1% of Britain's total exports), would probably double. Japanese exports to China, worth $24 million in this year's first quarter, have about reached the limit unless Peking can ship more and better coal and iron...
...people who got passes for the public galleries, the first sign of dying zombiism was the seating of the 457 Deputies. In previous parliaments the few non-Communist Deputies had been isolated and surrounded by Communists. This time each Deputy filing into the semicircular chamber took his place on the green seats with others of his party: 237 Communists on the left, 118 Peasant Party members in the center, then 39 Democratic Party members, and on the right twelve Catholic and 51 unaffiliated Deputies. U.S. television crews swarmed over the floor. The first sign of change came in the voting...

Though such action may have little effect, it will further remind Strijdom that his policies are in little accord with the Western principles he is trying to preserve in South Africa. The fact that the Prime Minister felt compelled to change the term "apartheid...
...seats in the Sejm (Parliament) would be contested by 723 candidates (chosen from a list of 60,000 names), about half of whom would be members of the Polish Workers (Communist) Party. Although the slate was rigged in such a way that the Communists would obtain a majority, for the first time in a Soviet country the electorate had a chance of voting for non-Communist members of Parliament...
...emphasizing that "to cross out our party's candidates is to cross out Poland from the map of European states." He insisted that Poland had to be Communist now: "The fate of Poland, its independence and security . . . are bound up with the camp of socialism." In fear of non-Communist strength, he demanded that some candidates, notably Socialist Edward Osubka Morawski, onetime Prime Minister (1945-47), withdraw. But by far the most important of Gomulka's moves was his alliance with Roman Catholic Cardinal Wyszynski. Apparently convinced that many church freedoms won last October would be lost...
