Guns Instead Of Butter In Soviet U S Asserts
The United States framed Soviet price boosts for meat and butter as a squeeze on Russian consumers to fund Kremlin arms and heavy industry. Washington said Khrushchev’s 1957 pledge to overtake U S meat and dairy by 1960 or 1961 was hollow. Officials argued U S fats output dwarfs Russia despite population differences. State Department noted Moscow’s price hikes aim to curb consumption and prop up a faltering collective agriculture system.
