in an already social organism.

Czechoslovakia is highly iri- dustrialized - so highly that her production outstrips her supplies Sf raw materials, making her largely dependent on her export-import trade, most of it still with weat- eun countries. '

When Communism took over. Czechoslovakia was socially well idcvelopcd. iler standard of educat- ion was above normal for this part of the world. l-lcr pcasaiitzyn al- though by no mearis fully efficient. were a step or two above their neighbors. r Crschoslovakia, which owes her jcxistence largely to the west, or ito treaties itezotiated in the ucts has always looked to the ivcst for her imports of culture as well as for copper and iron.
