It would seejn more logical to deny the Soviet Union access to markets from which esential military supplies can' be obtained (like preventing the man from making the pistol) but we have so far received little cooperation along this line from our European allies, who have insisted they must trade valuabe goods (just as Great Britain gave the jet engine to Russia) in return for supplies they need although there is actually no raw materal which we along wth Canada, Australia and South America could not supply if proper trade arrangements are worked out. In other words, our willingness to stimulate trade as a substitute for foreign ia dmay have a vital bearing in deciding the question of whether or when there will be another world war so destructive that there can be no real victor.
