Presumably at least a proportionate share of this manpower would be available for the light and food processing industries. If there should be any shift in the pattern of investment favoring light and food processing industries after 1965, the growth in the labor force employed in these sectors might even be greater than...
Página 194 - The USSR is increasing production of wheat. A substantial part of the increase that has already taken place in Soviet wheat exports has gone to satellite countries. It is unlikely that the requirements of the satellite countries will increase — they probably will decrease somewhat. Therefore, we should be prepared for a substantial rise in Soviet wheat exports to the free world.
Página 223 - The one fact that most impressed us in the USSR was the extent to which the nation is committed to education as a means of national advancement. In the organization of a planned society in the Soviet Union, education is regarded as one of the chief resources and techniques for achieving social, economic, cultural, and scientific objectives in the national interest. Tremendous responsibilities are therefore placed on Soviet schools, and comprehensive support is provided for them by all segments and...
