Russian Economic Change

Not Ideological

heretical "capitalist incentives,"
but it has been tried in Russia
before.
And still more important is the
added freedom factories will have
for minor expansion plans, al-
though it is unclear how for be-
yond merely choosing new equip-
ment this goes.
Possibly the most radical in-
novation is the "charge for cap-
ital" (in effect, an interest charge)
which will now go along with any

industry's expansion plans. Thus,
in the form of credits, the free
handout of grants will stop.
While production plans will be-
come to a great extent the con-
cern of the industry involved, all
of the key prerogatives remain in
the hands of the government:
pricing, allocation of material re-
sources, and major j investments.
Planning too, though beginning
at the bottom in consumer indus-
tries with people who are close to
the retail outlets and know con-

sumer interests (a very important
qualitative revision), the govern-
ment will retain the last say.
Thus the definitive, crucial at-
tributes of a free-market, capital-
ist economy will still be missing-
and for this reason, talk of the
growth of capitalism in Russia is
nonsense. The government keeps,
as it always has, a very strong
hand on the plow, and the con-
version to profit as the main in-
dicator of success is unimportant
as a consideration in Soviet eco-
nomic philosophy.
The reforms will not be imple-
mented suddenly - it will take
about two years. Whether more
major innovations follow depends
on two things: whether the lead-
ers overcome the opposition of the
old line economists, and what gen-
eral economic path the Russian
economy will follow.
Three Alternatives
This last question covers three
alternatives: a computer-directed
economy: a quasi - free - market
Yugoslavian type economy with
the capitalistic appurtenances of
an industry's freedom to compete
and to revise prices; or Liberman-
ism (named after the Russian

of a free economy with a mainly
centrally directed economy.
The indications are, from this
year's changes and from an eval-
uation of traditional Soviet think-
ing, their commitments to phi-
losophy, and their commitments to
the old line thinkers, that Liber-
manism will win out.
Thus it seems safe to say that
the changes are not radical, that
the thinking behind them is not
capitalistic, and that there are no
signs of a move toward capital-
ism. It may be that "capitalist"
incentives and management in-
itiative has found a place-but
these changes are actually logical
bottom level reforms, necessary if
production is to be increased.
It is worth noting that little
mention has been given to the role
of the Communist party under
the new system. Kosygin said in
an address that the party role will
be increased, but there is good
reason to think this was said as
a sop to party officials. As the
party's job traditionally has been
checking up on local industry, the
increased management freedoms

HIGHEST YET:
SRegents Request
'Budget Increase

economist who outlined the phi- will probably mean more work for
losophy), which mixes in elements the party, but this change is one

(Continued from Page 1)
where a college's requested ,ap-
propriations increases will be
spent. Thus it is especially impor-
tant for the University, which this
year is requesting an appropria-
tions increase of $14.6 million,
about double last year's increase.
The Legislature and/or the
governor have traditionally cut
the state colleges' requests, and
the hope at the University is that
the new way of presenting the
budget will restrain such cuts this
year.
State Funds
State funds supply the Univer-
sity with a little less than one-
third of its total budget.
The theory of budget coordina-
tion rests on the establishment of
standards for each institution
whic hexpress how much educa-
tion at a given level - freshman,
sophomore, junior, senior, and
graduate-costs at the institution.
Once these basis are established,
the colleges calculate their re-
quest increases from the state on
the basis of their estimated in-
creased needs for the coming year
in any given area.

Thus the University's request
for an increase of $6.9 million to
support its students is based on
an estimated increase of 82,503
additional credit hours that -will
be taught next year. The transla-
tion from.credit hours to dollars
requested is based on ratios ap-
proved by the presidents' council.
Different Cost Levels
Smith explained that all the
state's colleges will profit by such
a method. "It finances other in-
stitutions at the levels they re-
quire while recognizing the dif-
ferences in costs at varying levels
of instruction within the Univer-
sity," he said.
The University emphasizes grad-
uate programs so heavily that
any budgeting system which does
not take into account the greater
costs of upper-level instruction
fails to provide the money the
University needs, Smith said.
For example, he explained,
freshman - sophomore education
costs the University about $17.74-
per credit hour in direct instruc-
tional costs. By comparison, he
continued, junior-senior education
costs $29.94 per credit hour and
doctoral programs cost an aver-
age of $125.01 per credit hour.
Thus, if the state does not recog-
nize the University's increased
need for money because of its
heavy emphasis on higher-level
education, the institution can suf-
fer serious losses.
Quality of Education
The budget thus can advance
education at the University a
great deal, both in internal quality
and in concert with the rest of the
state's institutions.
The question now is whether
Gov. George Romney and the
Legislature will approve such siz-
able increases as those requested,
about double last year's.
Legislative comment for and
against the University has recent-
ly been mixed, so that the future
of the University's requestei in-
crease is far from certain.

of degree, not kind.
Changes in Agriculture
Since the beginnings of Soviet
Russia industry has grown stead-
ily, at times at fantastic rates.
At the same time comparatively
little was done to improve agri-
culture, and the result has been
a sore spot in the economy. Much
of it is due to the farm structure
itself - the collective farms, for
example, have rarely worked well.
Some of the weakness is due to
mismanagement of important pro-
grams of all varieties, and to the
reprehensible practice of "man-
agement by fiat" as Kosygin calls
it.
Thus the current regime has de-
cided to lower the volume of ob-
ligatory sales to the government
and to fix that level through 1970.
Second, the procurement price
paid by the state for food products
will be raised from 50 to 100 per
cent. The aim of this is to foster
higher output by making it more
profitable.
Production of agricultural ma-
chinery will be increased, and re-
strictions on private household
land allotments, and on the num-
ber of cattle that can be privately
owned will be removed.
The two billion rubles worth of
debts owned by the collective
farms will be written off, and the
bonus system for workers and of-
ficials who fulfill or overfulfill
quotas will be expanded.
In addition, the prices of goods
widely used in the countryside will
be lowered.
Incentives, Private Production
Nothing in this program is an
innovation. What is new, though,
is the more widespread use of in-
centives, and the encouragement
of private production. And though
this program has not gotten as
much publicity as the changes in
industry, it is easily of equal im-
portance.
Agriculture is the Achille's heel
of the Russian economy-it had
largely been ignored under Stalin,
and it shows it.
The Russian government is hav-
ing trouble with fast-braking in-
dustrial growth, and a perenially'
insoluable farm problem. A major
slate of changes is going into
effect to reverse the situation. But
behind the simple aspect of dif-
ficulties and solutions are several

Relations Held Unquestioned
"These relationships have ex-

a Regent, on a somewhat circum-
scribed basis. Never in the past
has any question been raised as

In his statement yesterday,
President Hatcher said:
"Mr. Power has done more
than any other man to make
scarce library resources accessible
to other libraries and scholars.
His services to scholars and col-
leges have been unique. He is
known and honored throughout
the world for his contributions in
