In my opinion, however, ship tonnages or their number are a poor measure of overall oceanographic effort. Likewise, the number of oceanographers is not a useful criterion, especially as the definition of this term can be vari- ously interpreted. A much better measure is the quality and number of the research papers published in scientific journals. These "contribu- tions to knowledge" are the principal end-products of research. In both theory and practice the Soviets are supporting science. Sala- ries of Soviet scientists are substan- tially below levels but they are among the highest in Russia. The Communist insignia of the sickle and hammer symbolizes the farmer and the laborer, but the scientist-technol- ogist group seems to have usurped the leading role in Soviet society. There is little evidence of any Com- munist Party-line in oceanographic work, such as that which plagued biology until recently because of the political favoritism accorded T. Ly- senko. The Soviet scientist has high prestige and his morale is good, but 26.
