Russian plans for the collectivisation of agriculture in the satellite coun- trics have been thrown out of gear by widespread passive resistance among farmers and peasants. Decreos and other forms of pressure have led to chaotic conditions in Bulgaria and Rumania.

A new policy of "collectivisation by persuasion" has now been introduced. Officials, administering the previous policy are being used as scape- goats and are being dismissed and reprimanded.
