Although total East-West trade registered a gain of about $800
million in 1957, the rate of expansion declined by about 20 percent
compared with the 1956 advance. Free-world exports to the bloc
increased from over $2.5 billion in 1956 to approximately $3.1 billion
in 1957, a rise of 21 percent. Imports from the bloc went up from
$2.9 billion in 1956 to roughly $3.2 billion in 1957, an 8 percent increase.
Although free-world trade with the bloc constitutes only about
3 percent of total world trade, bloc trade is significant for some
countries?Afghanistan, Iceland, Finland, Egypt, Yugoslavia, Turkey,
and Iran?and for certain products, such as Icelandic fish, Burmese
rice, Egyptian cotton, and Ceylonese rubber.
1 Unless otherwise noted, the Sino-Soviet bloc comprises the following: European Soviet satellites,
which include Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslvakia, Soviet Zone of Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Rumania;
U. S. S. R. including Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania; Outer Mongolia; North Korea, beginning 1951;
North Viet-Nam, beginning 1955; and China for which data since 1949 refer (as far as possible) to Main-
land China, Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet. The term "free world" refers to all nonbloc
countries.

ee-wo rl d trade with the European Soviet bloc moved upward
from $4.4 billion in 1956 to $5.1 billion in 1957, a rise of over 16
percent. Trade between the free world and Communist China
showed an increase of $65 million, or 6 percent above the 1956 total.
While free-world exports to Communist China climbed from $434
million in 1956 to $524 million in 1957?a rise of 21 percent?free-
world imports from Communist China fell from $641 million in 1956
to $616 million in 1957?a decline of 4 percent.
The total trade of the 15 0000M2 countries with the Sino-Soviet
bloc amounted to $3.1 billion in 1957, as compared with nearly $2.9
billion in 1956. COCOM trade with the European Soviet bloc rose
from $2.4 billion in 1956 to $2.8 billion in 1957, while COCOM trade
with Communist China decreased from $429 million to $414 million
during the same period. COCOM exports to Communist China
went up from $204 million in 1956 to $209 million in 1957, a $5 million
increase as against a $21 million decline in COCOM imports, which
went down from $225 million to $204 million.
