The cultural and ecoaamic treaty concluded betvreen the tB~t and Aorth gcrea
recently hs: t:.aven tc w indicpw,sblc ..?cr the de:clar.;o,nt of Acrth goroa:. tr-~-
end the peoplb's ecpa~ly.
Since 1946 the UB~ffit hoe supplied North gores with the materials beaded for
the letter's economic development. The LT86R-gorean trade for 1947 increased
to 204 percent, and for 194$, 557.7 percent of that of 1946. The volume of
trade has increased in direct proportio_t to the development of the people`s
economy; or conversely, the development of the people's economy is directly
associated with the increase of the trade.
The volume of trade for 199 is expected to increase to 456.5 percent of
that oP 194b. Trade for 1950 is expected to be as much ae 937.5 Percent of
that of 1946. The imports are mainly machinery and machine parts, vhile national
surplus goods, such as metal end chemioel products, constitute a large part of
the exports to the UB6[te
Imports for industrial uses constituted 50 percent of the total imports for
1946, and 80 percent for 1948. The imporie cf i^duetrial rev materials and
maohineryhelped ]North gores to develop itc i:stasirSes raid to build a permanent
toiadatlon for the people*e eoamcagy. Suoh materials eaablsd iQorth gorse to
manufacture pig iron in large quantity. North gores ie nav able to ma]oo ea
unlimited eorouat of sulphmria said vhich 1e the basic element for the ammonium
sulphate fertilizer. Thu, the i~gport of the basic material for fertilizer not
amly helped the developmient of North gorse's chemical industry, but t~s agri-
culture ae well.
The modern machinery and equipment imported from the UB.SR were indispensable
in the development of North gorean heavy industry. The import of lead pipes,
oedential for lxo~motives, sad other important materials was particularly
Valug'~13 to the development of the railroad industry.
