far below that of the United States, The Russians also are short on skilled labor, technicians, managerial brains, And they are deemed weak on civilian morale. How well the Russians fight on their own soil was learned to the sorrow of Napoleon and Hitler. Pie-in-the-sky promises of a consumer’s Valhalla, however, haven't stimulated the Russian worker to adventures abroad, These chinks in the economic armor, plus a cold - blooded evaiution of the vast U. 8. production potential, ‘would make war senseless from the Kremsuit Viewpoint. Ahe analysts: bes: eve, "A comparison of Soviet plus satellite = economic strength with that of the United States and its allies adds up roughly to this in annual production: "Coal — Soviet, 400 million tons; West, over a billion tons, (U. 8. alone, over 600 million.) Steel — Soviet, 30 million tons; West, 140 million (U. 8., about 80). Oil—Soviet, 40 million tons; West, 350 million tons (U. S., 278).

The best surmisal on atomic bombs is that Russia could have as few as 25 against the American supply, . eight times as plentiful, secret in the U. 8, A. as well as in the U. 8. 8. R, Would Russia attempt to knock out U. 8. industry with‘out being prepared to invade? "Most strategists say that physical invasion would not be important. Obviously, without control of the seas, an invasion would seem fantastic.
But an airborne deposit of A-bombs on U. 8. industry, the Russians might conclude, would delay, if not eliminate, certain retaliation from the United States. Time is on the side of both the West and Russia. Time favors the West if it builds its defenses at an accelerated rate.
