continued. Unless the United

war will be inevitable. The i'm
mensely rich and efficient Amer

strength equal to that provided by
the inferior Soviet industry"
Dr.. Possony warned that there
is now a trend to economic" on
the military strength of the
United States-"an economy as
false as that OF a man who, upon
