China’s communist party go against its own grain, give Hong Kong space to run its affairs?
Sitting at a gilded palace table, the US president, Jimmy Carter, and the Soviet president, Leonid
Brezhnev, signed the SALT II treaty. Carter termed it a victory for peace but warned that “the
threat of a nuclear holocaust still hangs over us.” Brezhnev declared: “We are helping to defend
the most sacred right of every man — the right to live.” Earlier, the two presidents signed the
treaty texts in Russian and English, and then got up and kissed each other on both cheeks. The
crowd applauded with enthusiasm.

What to import

The minister for Commerce and Civil Supplies, Mohan Dharia, said that the government would
import the essential commodities included for the public distribution scheme, wherever
necessary, to ensure its smooth functioning. Under the scheme, to be launched from July 1, 13
items have been selected for distribution including wheat, wheat products, rice, coarse grains,
processed oils, kerosene, controlled cloth, common varieties of cheap cloth, matches, toilet
soaps and washing soaps, exercise books, tea and coffee. Dharia said that the real emphasis
of the scheme should be viewed from the fact that it would be a production-cum-distribution
scheme. Production of all the items to be distributed would be ensured before their distribution
is undertaken by public distribution outlets.
