Moscow obviously felt that COMECON ought to imitate Western Europe by closer economic integration. It has been tried before. There has been some success in sharing manufacturing tasks (e.g., Poland to specialize in coal-mining and transport equipment; Czechoslovakia in heavy electrical equipment). But most other COMECON integration attempts have failed because the satellites have learned to distrust each other's-and Moscow's-promises. As Gomulka once complained: "Everyone peels his own turnip." Six Competitors. The meatiest turnip is the Common Market. Satellite commerce with Western Europe (most of it with the Six) is the bloc...

The idea spread to other areas of industry, to construction and transport. Everyone wanted to contribute his small brick to the edifice of communism now being built...
Opponents of the Administration bill contend that the vast majority of foreign subsidiaries are set up not to dodge taxes but to develop new markets that cannot be served from U.S. plants because of tariffs, transport costs, higher U.S. production costs-or the simple difficulty of selling at long range. With stiffer tax rules, U.S. businessmen would be faced with a hard choice: either they would have to concede many of these markets to hustling and lower-taxed competitors from Europe and Japan, or they would have to export even more dollars than they now do to keep their foreign...
