Poland May Be Allowed To Buy Farm Surpluses
The Eisenhower administration considered allowing Poland to buy U S farm surpluses with dollars at world market prices. Officials said it would be a first step in aiding a country breaking from Moscow during early economic estrangement from the Soviet bloc. The Commerce Department planned to loosen export licensing restrictions that blocked Poland from purchasing surplus U S goods, with talks to include wheat cotton farm machinery and other items. The policy aims to aid trade rather than political commitment, and officials noted the move could extend to other Iron Curtain countries if feasible.
