...contrast, the Russians were dragging their feet. Though nominal supporters of the Albanian resolution, the Russians took no part in the lobbying around the rubber tree plants in the plush Delegates Lounge.

They must specialize to be efficient; and specialization is only possible if they trade beyond their own boundaries. But this argument implies that Vietnam cannot stick to its exports of primary commodities, like rubber, but must seek the benefits of the division of labor for its industries. This is the spectacular lesson that has been taught to the world by Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong--to say nothing of Japan. They can be successful exporters of manufactures, even though they will almost certainly...
