Baruch says the Unites States can lose any future war by failure to mobilize now., and that atomic bombs or anything else should be used on any nation starting a conflict. In two speeches, Baruch, financ ier and long-time adviser to Presi dents, urged that the U.S. prepare for war during peacetime to dis courage any would-be aggressor. He told a Columbia university seminar on economic mobilization that "these are the years of de cision, which we are now passing through. Yet Washington today is the capital of indecision." "Although the cold war is now in its fifth year," he said, "we still lack the equivalent of a glo bal strategy for peace-waging." "We continue to dissipate our re sources without decision," he added. Baruch also spoke on a broadcast over the American Eijadcasting company, in which members of the United Nations Correspondents association took part. Baruch urged an international atomic control plan which he ini tiated and which has been backed by the U.S. and the United Na tions. He said the plan, which pro vides for atomic inspection at any place and time, is the only "just, realistic and practical way" to es cape world devastation. , .
