Guarding Against Russia in World Markets
All indications point to Russia again being a dangerous competitor in global markets. Russia has already disrupted the wheat market and now seeks dominance in other fields. Canada has embargoed imports of coal, timber, pulp, and related products due to forced labor concerns and exploitative conditions in Soviet mining. Russia offers 3,000,000 tons of coal and gold-backed purchases for iron implements, but coal import restrictions may halt the plan. Countries should guard against Soviet activities while avoiding blind optimism about wealth.
