How Strong are Russia's Industry and Agriculture? (1955)
About this film
Salisbury explains the Russian policy of concentrating on heavy industry. It is pointed out that Soviet steel goes further than American steel because there is a wood economy; however, there is a new emphasis on agricultural machinery. It is concluded that this and other agricultural measures are not really solving the enormous problem of feeding the Russian people. So much of Russia is in the north that growing crops, such as corn, is very difficult climatically. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
