Conant Sees War Averted by Narrow Margin and Balance
Harvard physicist James Bryant Conant cautions amid war fears that a third world conflict can be avoided by a narrow margin. He predicts sustained tension into the 1960s, but believes balance between the United States and Russia may lead to a period of genuine peace after the decade. He argues for preparedness, not laxity, and foresees atomic energy becoming a liability rather than an asset, with future power from solar sources.

Japan faces a new economic frontier after war
Washington Edson argues that even with a peace treaty, the Far East holds continued turmoil. Senate ratification delays may push July 1952 as a key deadline. U.S. aid to Japan, begun as relief, then rehabilitation, totaled about $2 billion, with occupation costs around $1.5 to $2 billion. Japan’s economy shows gains from wartime production and Korean War, but future trade shifts and renewed U.S. imports are crucial to avoid economic drain.
