Volunteers (called Accionista) might help the unskilled poor build a clay pipe to bring in water or teach them basic job skills such as sewing and welding.

Disqualified Buyers. On top of all that, builders are being hit by rising prices of such items as copper pipe, aluminum windows, lumber and plywood and, in some areas, by shortages of construction labor.

The Russians will need 4,338 miles of 48-in. pipe to run from the fields to the port of Nakhodka, plus 500 miles of 28-in. pipe for branch lines, as well as other equipment. They would pay the Japanese for the pipe and equipment in oil, beginning in about 1975, when production would presumably rise above local needs...
