Anaiyst Says US
\
USSR's Prowess *
* BY RAMSAY D. POTTS, JR.

~ (Distributed By NEA Service) |
. WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —We
of the Western democracies seem
‘ to have a habit of thinking of So
viet Russia as a semi-barbaric |
country full of louts in bßaggy
pants who somehow manage to
win military victories by over
whelming an enemy with masses
. of trogps. |
This was sharply brought home |
to me by a man who had spent
several years of the vost-World
War II period in making analyses
of military problems.
He said that even after he and
his associates pieced together a
picture of Soviet strength in cer
tain fields of armament, he nev
ertheless tended subconsciously to !
reject his own conclusions. |
“The picture that always comes
to my mind when I think of Sov=
| iet Russia,” he said, “is of a wo
man plowing a field behind an
animal-drawn plow. I am trying
to erase that mental inrage, and
replace it with one of the MIG-15
pulling away from the F-86 at|
40,000 feet.” q
The Russians have depressed 1
their civilian standard of living to
a minimum subsistence level in
order to concentrate upon invest
ment in capital goods, machine
tools and armaments.
By dint of this and by borrow
ing and stealing designs from Ger
man, British, American, Swiss
and other sources, the Russians
have been able, by concentrating
on the armaments segment of the
technological front, to achieve
performance that matches the best
in the U. S. |
The most striking illustration of
this is the quantity production of |
the MIG-15, but other examples |
can be noted in the quality and
quantity of Russian tanks, artil
lery pieces, rockets and radar.
In connection with the MIG, it
should be pointed out that the
Russians recently captured an
American jet fighter equipped
with our prized gunsight.
The sight is the one item of
equipment on our fighters in Ko
ea which is markedly superior to
the Russian. It is one of the two
main reasons why we have been
able to hold the upper hand in air
combat.
As a result of the plane’s cap
ture more than six months ago,
we nray expect to find before too
long that Communist pilots will
be shooting with far greater accu
racy than they have done so far
in Korea.
Finally, an area in which we
badly underestimated the Rus
sians was in the amount of atomic
information we credited them with
having at their disposal.
When the Russians were told
that the U. S. had solved the |
problem of making atomic bombs,
Stalin was able to receive the
news with the utmost composure. |
For the great secret was no secret |
to hin. ; |
The Russian espionage organiza- |
tion functioned throughout the |
| war with remarkable success, es- |
pecially in the field of atomic en- |
ergy. The cases of Allen N_n_nnf
May and Klaus Fuchs are familiar |
to all of us. o)
Through these and other spies, |
the Russians were able to obtain
the most complete information
about our vital processes and pro- i
duction techniques for making 5
atomic weapons. i |
In addition Soviet Russia has an |
atomic energy organization that |
compares favorably in size andi
scope with our own. |
Fortune Magazine said last Sep— !
tember that, “production of engi
neering graduates (in the United
States) is tapering off from 25,000
in 1952 to a possible low of 12,000 |
in 1954.” -
. In the same connection, Fortune
said, “Russia is estimated to be
training young scientists and tech
nicians at the rate of about 100,000 |
a year.” ;
This recalls the statement made
by Irving Langnmuir In “One

World or None,” following his re
turn in 1945 from the USSR
Academy of Science:
“They (the Russtans) have
planned a far more extensive pro
gram of science than is conteme
plated by any other nation.”
The many lessons we learned
from experience in war against
Germany should have furnished
valuable guides to those of our
national leaders who since 1946
have been trying to estimate Rus
sian capabilities. Instead, there
were men who interpreted the les
sons so that as a country we roll
ed along, right up until Korea, on
the premise that Russia was an
“ox~-cart” economy, incapable of
producing the complicated . para
phernalia of modern war,
Of the estimates that have had
to be made, the most important of
all is the estimate of Russia’s cap
ability to manufacture atomic
weapons and deliver them on tar
gets in this country. And in this
critical area were made some of
the most grievous miscalcula
tions.
In a statement released to the
press on October 30, 1947, Lt. Gen
eral Leslie R. Groves, head of the
war-time Manhattan Project, was
reported as saying that the Rus
sians. would need 15-20 years to
develop the atomic bomb if they
did it in secrecy and without aid
from the United States, Britain, or
Switzerland,
This low opinion of Russian
science and industry has also been
the view of Dr. Vanevar Bush
who from 1946 to 1948 held the
key scientific advisory post in the
Department of Defense as Chair
man of the Research and Develop
ment Board. ‘
It can be said that the Bush '
view of Soviet Russian capabilitieg
exercised virtually a controlling
effect on national policy arfd mil
itary programs during the period
from 1946 up to the end of 1949. I
The information that the U, S.
has been -able to obtain about
technical activity behind the Iron
Curtain is. extremely sketchy,
Nevertheless, in making our estj
mates of Soviet Russia we have
tried to draw a complete and
rounded picture from this scanty
information.
When, however, there is little
information, it is dangerous to
rely only ‘upon proven facts to the
exclusion of developing general
theories on a deductive basis. This
was one of our mistakes.
We seem to have reasoned from l
meager information to a general
premise that would fit a precon
ceived notion of Russia as indus=
trially backward.

Russia Seeks To Lure West Trade
At Economic Conference In Berlin
BY LEON DENNEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
BERLIN.— (NEA) —West Ger
mans, with wistful eyes on the
vast trading opportunities in the
East, attach considerable signifi
cance to the Economic Conference
scheduled to open in Moscow on
April 3.
Ruhr industrialists and busi
nessmen view the gathering in the
Soviet capital as an attempt to
“re-establish normal trade rela
tions between the Fast and the
West.”
But according to Soviet experts
in Berlin—llong a center of illegal
East-West trading—the Economic
Conference is Moscow’s current
Number One psychological wea
pon in the hot-cold war.
“The conference bids well to
eclipse the Kremlin's global peace
campaign launched by the Stock
holm Appeal to gutlaw the atom
bomb,” West Berlin’s Mayor Ernst
Reuter told NEA Service.
U. S. and Allied officials, work
ing to plug major.leaks of stra=
tegic materials from Western Eu
rope and Germany into Iron Cur
tain countries, see the Russians
aiming at:
1. Circumventing Western, es
pecially U. S. restrictions on
East-West trade in strategic war
goods.
2. Enlisting businessmen, indus
trial leaders, bankers, economists
and merchants from the West in
the violent Soviet anti-U. S. cam
paign.
3. Splitting the NATO powers
by exploiting the economic diffi
culties of some western industrial
groups.
In the U. S, South America,
Western Europe, India, Japan and
point during a recent road tax dispute. Now
Russia wants to break down the barriers to get
her hands on badly-needed strategic war goods.
the Middle East, the Kremlin’s
“Initiating Committees” are pre
paring the ground for the Moscow
conference,
Originally, it was to have been
an extension of the Cominfornr's
World Peace Council, but this
’sponsorship was dropped to avoid
| intimidating non - Communists.
| New sponsor is an “International
Initiating Committee” headed by
Profcssor Oscar Lange, a former
American citizen and ex-Polish
Ambassador to the U. S.
! “Having failed miserably to
i unite the workers of the world,
the Russians now seek to form a
popular front of capitalists,” a
prominent western statesman told
this correspondent.
The Russians need econonric aid
from the ‘*‘capitalist” countries to
supply the Communist armies in
Korea, Indo-China and Burma and
to keep up the intensive arma
ment of the satellites.
The restrictions the U. S. im
posed on trade in strategic goods
with the Iron Curtain countries
has already seriously affected the
Soviet war industry, A slow-down
in war production is reported by
underground trade union sources
from . Poland, = Czechoslovakia,
’Hungary, Rumania and East Ger
‘many.
- Moscow’s satellites suffer from
a drastic shortage of some raw
‘materials, especially rare metals.
‘Soviet ‘“commercial” representa~
tives offer fantastic prices for
even small quantities on the black
markets of Berlin, Vienna and
Switzerland,
Major labor organizations in the |
U. S., Britain and France have al—J
ready declined to swallow the
Kremlin’s latest bait of “more
trade and easy profits.”
Nor have the Russians made
much headway with U, S. “capi
talists.” The world Communist
press is giving considerable pub
licity to Beryl Lush, a Philadel
phia importer of cotton linters
from Russia, who said he will at
| tend the conference. Lush describ
led himself as a “capitalist” and
| said he hoped to enlist a 100 per
| cent capitalist delegation” to go to
‘Moscow with hinr,
| But so far no known American
| businessman, industrialist, or labor
leader seems to be anxious *“‘to se
)cure personal contact” with the
Russians,
The Kremlin, however, seems to
have ha#l much more success with
industrial and business circles in
[ Japan, South America and West
! ern Europe.
| The Paris Le Monde, which fre
quently speaks for France’s heavy
industry, said French industrial
ists and bankers are begging for a
chance to go to Moscow.
In Britain there have been de
mands in Parliament and by for
mer Labor Ministers that the gov
ernment participate officially in
the conference. Foreign Minister
Anthony Eden announced that
such participation would not be
“favorable,” but said private in
dividuals were free to go to Mos~
Ccow.
Similar demands have been
'made in the financial press of
Western Europe from Paris to
Stockholm. , ;
Soviet “commercial” sources in
Berlin say the Japanese have been
invited to the conference as
“guests of honor.” Some Japanese
insist they will attend. Premier
Yeshida is being pressured to
send an official delegation, |
