'Communist Role In World Trade/
Lecture By Ex-premier Of Hungary
By BOB EASTON
Ferenc Nagy, who served as
premier of Hungary from the
end of WWII until the commun-
ist takeover of 1947, spoke Mon-
day on "The Communist Role in
World Trade," in an address
sponsored by the Rice Forum
Committee.
Mr. Nagy first stated that the
Russian concentration on the de-
velopment of heavy industi-y was
due to two main factors. Pri-
marily the fast industrialization
of the Russian economy was the
Communist Party's "determina-
tion to conform to the Leninist
ideal of a Communist society
based on an industrial working
class." Secondly, rapid industrial-
ization. especially in heavy in-
dustry. was necessary to carry

out Russian plans for expansion.
"THIS RUSSIAN emphasis
on industrialization was the main
factor in the original Russo-Sino
split. The Russian Party didn't
recognize the Chinese counter-
part until the early 1950's be-
cause of Chinese emphasis on ag-
ricultural land collectivization."
Nagy did not, however, deval-
uate the importance of the collec-
tivist program in Russia. He
pointed out that, although Krus-
chev severely denounced Stalin
for many of his atrocities, he
never mentioned the extermina-
tion of 6,000,000 Ukranians who
opposed collectivism, because
Khruschev also realized the im-
portance of having complete con-
trol of agriculture.
REGARDING Russian - Satel-
lite trade relations, the speaker
asserted that Russia very profit-
ably exploits her satellites by en-
forcing a balance of trade sharp-
j ly favorable to the Russions. He
also showed how the Soviets gu-
arantee satellite dependence on
her by forcing the Kast Europeans
to produce foods and products
which leave them completely de-
pendent on their fellow C'omo-
!••>!: members.
Turning to East-West rela-
tion.-, he showed how Krushchev's
knowledge ni' a coming wheat
shurtagi' was a very significant
ini'luei'ice mi recent Russian ac-
tions. Khruschev first tried to
force the Western nations, espe-
cially the I'S. into willingness to
trade with Russia in Cuban af-
fairs. When this failed, le- turned
to persuasion, from whence came
the Disarmament Treaty.
NAGY DECRIED the Western
nations eagerness to' trade with
the Russians in the wheat deal.

He claimed that when we had
the Russians in a weak political
and economic situation we should
have pressed the diplomatic ad-
vantages.
In discussing the Russo-Sino
split, Mr. Nagy claimed that
there is no possibility of a re-
conciliation because it is not an
ideological split, but is actually
a "result of China's territorial
ambitions in the vast plains of
Eastern Russia'' to make room
for her burgeoning population.
In closing. Nagy advocated more
trade with the Russian-dominated
countries of Eastern Europe, for
the benefit of their enslaved cit-
izens. However, he said that this
could never be practiced until
the free world has a well-defined
unified economic policy. He said
that this is the only time that we
will ever again see Eastern Eu-
rope enjoying normal relations
with the rest of the world.

chology, evolutionary biology,
and to a lesser extent physics
and math. In psychology Piatt
cited the optimism of the "plas-
ticity concept" of the human
brain—which holds that an in-
fants mind is a "tabula rasa,"
ready to receive or not to re-
ceive knowledge as its environ-
ment dictates. To support his
point the speaker discussed "The
Organization of Behavior," test
results demonstrating the effects
of environmental conditioning,
and new work being conducted
in the area of infant education.
Evolutionary biology should be
interpreted in Piatt's view, as a
general progression of intelli-
gence out of a whole history of
pre-organic chemistry. F r o m

Albright And Evans
Win Prose Contest
With Short Stories
The results of the Janus prose
contest are in. The winners of
the first annual Janus Prose
Award were announced by Janus
Editor Doug Harlan. The judg-
ing panel, composed of English
Department faculty members, de-
luded for a two-way tie for first
place between Daniel Albright
and Mike Evans.
Evans, a Hanszen sophomore
from Chicago, Illinois, won with
a short story entitled "Fine Silk
and Golden Sundowns." Evans, a
philisophy major, has previously
published in Janus and has been
selected by the University to be
next year's exchange student to
Trinity College of Cambridge
University.
The co-winner, Dan Albright,
a Wiess freshman also from Chi-
cago, won with his short-short
story, "Teiresias." The two au-
thors' work will appear in the
next issue of "Janus," scheduled
to appear late this month.
The $25 prize, awarded for
the best prose work submitted
will be divided equally between
the two winners. Said Evans,
"This is the most wonderful
thing that has ever happened to
me."

the view that even though the
universe is approaching an iso-
thermal condition as a limit, the
gx-owth of intelligence may be
sufficient to offset the growth
of entropy.
The general increase in intel-
ligence will enable the engineer
to make greater practical use of
decreasing thermal differentials
and deny the ultimate dsertuction
of life predicted in the nineteenth
century. From mathematics Piatt
discussed the personalism of
choice involved in deciding which
of an infinite set of theorems
are worth while to prove. The
physicist saw a further exten-
tion of personalism in math be-
cause "ultimate acceptance in
math is a result of personal cho-
ice."
In conclusion Dr. Piatt sumar-
ized his opinion that in the world
of mid-twentieth century science
"we have seen mastery of power,
planning, personalism, and plas-
ticity." Piatt noted that we have
harnessed the atom, explored the
earth, attempted to plan for eco-
nomic growth and peace, seen
the importance of environment
in developing better adults, and
reasserted the importance of hu-
man power in making or breaking
the future. Dr. Piatt urged a
break with determinism and pro-
posed recognition that "the uni-
verse is not necessarily hostile."
