RUSSIA CANNOT MAKE ATOMIC BOMBS UNTIL 1952, IS CLAIM
NEW YORK, August 1. —“Authoritative circles think that Russia cannot produce atomic bombs until 1952,” says the _s_cientiftc correspondent of the New York Times. “The best informed opinion is that it would take/ Russia at’ least seven years (beginning from August, 1945) to reach the point we had reached at New Mexico four years ago, when the first bomb was tested. It should take Russia five more years to build up sticks. . ‘This gives us a few precious years
in which the world may use its collective wisdom to arrive at a modus vivendi with the atom. “The disclosure, that the United States is producing atomic bombs industrially means that these weapons can now be produced at a much fast-, er race, so that before long our stocks, which already are considerable, will be greatly increased.”
