' Semi - official war department view is that the United States will possess the secret of mass production of atom bombs for at least eight years. There is no short CHt method of manufacturing fissionable material, according to these officers. Best estimates are that it will take foreign nations several years to make one successful bomb. For a number of years, perhaps as many as 8 to 15, only the United States will possess atomic bombs in significant quantities. After this period, other nations will possess atomic bombs in significant quantities, reads a joint statement. All this presupposes that no inter- national control agreement is in effect, it is pointed out.
