Proftells of Slavic changes
Eastern Europe is making a major contribution to the world by developing itself, said Professor Barbara Zakrzewska of the University of Michigan Friday in the Kansas Union.
Eastern Europe, the area between Poland and Yugoslavia, is an area of predominantly slavic culture and language, Miss Zakrzewska said. These countries are often referred to as "soviet satellites" or "iron curtain countries," she said.
Since World War II, the area has become more of a unit. The Warsaw Pact ties the area militarily while Comecon, a trade agreement, ties it economically.
Although Eastern Europe is becoming less economically isolated from the West, political differences still hamper trade, she said. Insufficient minerals and a lack of developed industry prevent Eastern Europe from producing a "special" item which would bolster trade.
A lack of incentive and low pay also contribute to low economic output, she said.
Eastern Europe is a land of subsistance agriculture. Peasant farms average only $12\frac{1}{2}$ acres. Better seeds and fertilizer could make Eastern Europe a major exporter of food as it was before the war.
Because culture is important to Eastern Europeans, the Polish theater is ranked among the best in Europe. Motion pictures have become a major industry in Czechoslovakia.
