AGRICULTURE
28 September 1951
International significance on the cold war front:
Agriculture, as a basic industry of practically every country. has
a two-fold place in cold war activities. In the sphere of economic
warfare, it is a primary target for various forms of attack, in the scope
of psychological warfare,, agriculture provides a livelihood for large and
homogeneous sections of each count 1s population and csents unique
opportunities for penetration by ropaganda.
Strengthening the agricultural economies of non-Communist nations is risen-
tial in order to face the USSR with positions of strength in the military,
economic, and political fields.
Peasants and farmers have traditionally been poor prospects fcr
Communist recruitment and by the same token present excellent targets for
cold war activities. The potential of agriculture as a field for cold war
operations is considerable, therefore' from the aspect of both economic and
psychological warfare,

eminence of military strength must, therefore, be reflected within
all other fields of endeavor. Western world rearrraament is to avert
