As in 1964, the hinge of the question will be China.
It used to be fashionable to refer to the Soviet-Chinese dis~ pute as an ideological grangle revolving around rarefied ques- tions abou e correct inter- pretation of Marxism-Leninism, particularly as related to Rus- sia’s policy of peaceful coexist- ence with the West.
Developments in 1964 demon- strated that it had become far more than that.

Internally. the new adminis- tration is by economic problems. principally in the al.- sector. Though the wheat crop in 1964 was vastly improved. making it unneces- sary for Russia to buy huge quantities of grain from Can- ada and other countries as it
had to last year. the farm sec- tor is still an extremely weak

One of the new regime’s first moves was to remove “unwar- ranted restrictions" on private plots of land available to col- lective farm workers. Private plots. accounting in recent years for only about three per cent of total area sown, uce a dis- proportionately high percentage of total farm output.
Most observers expect Brezh- nev and Kosygin—technocrats and engineers by profession—to try to bring about a more busi- ness-Iike approach to Russia’s manifold economic ills.
To them. Khrushchev was a “hare-brained schemer." They talk of bringing more individual initiative into play. of cutting out red tape. applying the les-
