Trade statistics for both 1963 and 1964, however, show nearly a balance between imports and exports. The 1964 figures were given as 6,913,000,000 rubles ($7,681,000,000) in exports and 6,963,000,000 rubles ‘$7;738,000,- 000) in imports.

Much of the exports were to {Communist-bloc countries that paid in soft currencies unac- ceptable to Western wheat pro- ducers. This forced the gold sales.

The largest element of Sovict exports was ores, metals and cables. They made up 21.3 per cent by value in 1964. Machin- ery and equipment was 21 per cent and fuel and electric en- ergy 18 per cent.

Machinery and equiptment took up 34.4 per cent of imports

and manufactured goods 15.4 per cent.

Food imports rose sharply to the 20-1 per cent in 1964 from 12.8 per cent of the 1963 total. because of the wheat failure. The percentages of all other types of imports, except ma- chinery andtimber products,

Consumer imports ranged from 418,000,000 rubles ($464,- 000,000) worth of clothes to 1,979,000 rubles ($2,199,000) worth of razor blades.

Western students of Soviet trade have long noted that sat- ellites are charged a higher price than other countries.

The trade statistics reflected’ the continuing decline of Soviet- Chinese relations. Trade both ways was 1,364,00,000 rubles in 1958 but only 404,500,000 rubles last year.
