For = Hours With
Stain in Krem|in
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, June 27.-Eric Johnston,
president of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, talked busi-
ness with Premier Stain for az
hours in the Kremlin last night and
emerged with the declaration that
the conversation had been very
successful"
The interview was confined largely
to questions by Mr.. Johnston about
future trade between the United
States and the Soviet Union and
direct answers by Stain.
However, Stain also gave his guest
a statement praising American busi-
ness, labor and agriculture for their
contribution to the war.
American Production Praised.
The statement follows:
American business and American
labor have done a remarkable job Of
production for the war. American
agriculture also has performed un-
usually well. American machines Of
war and American food have con-
tributed to the successes OF the Red
Army in its victories.
1.-THE United States Government
has played q major role in the de-
velopment and coordination Of this
production and also in fostering CO.
operation between our two coun-
tries"
As usual. Stain sat at the side Of
a conference table In his ofice for
his first meeting with the American
businessman. Translator Vladimir
Pavlov sat at the head of the table
beside Stain, with Foreign Minister
Vyacheslav Molotov on Stains
right. On his left were Mr.. Johns
ton, Ambassador w. Averell Harri-
man and Edward Page, second Sec
retary of the American Embassy.
Stain wore the uniform of a
marshal of the Soviet Union with
a single decoration, Hero OF Socialist
Labor.
Deep knowledge Of America.
II cannot tell you what he said
except for this particular state
ment," Mr.. Johnston said, referring
to Stains formal statement, II
thing this Is a very nice statement
on the American war effort"
Mr.. Johnston said he was partic-
ularly surprised at what he termed
"the deepness Of the Premier's
knowledge Of America, particularly
its production. His knowledge is
accurate and very complete"
Mr.. Johnston said they talked
briefly Of the war while two salutes
were fired outside the Kremlin
windows celebrating the capture OF
Vitebsk and Zhlobin.

WITH UNITED STATES FORCES
IN FRANCE.-A reporter can't be
too careful about atrocity stories.
In the excitement of battle too many
soldiers are likely to lose their heads
and attribute to the enemy deeds
which actually did not happen.
Such incidents or exaggerations
are all too common on this front,
where the most confused kind of
fighting went on for days, with
small, isolated German units fight
ing parachute infantrymen who
patrolled the roads and hedgerows
looking for scraps.
Typical of the atrocity stories
definitely branded as untrue was
the one told me by an excited boy,
who said he had heard the Ger
mans lined up hundred of American
lparatroopers against a wall and ma
chine-gunned them.
did you see the bodies?" asked.
NO" he said, "but some of our
boys did"
chased the story down further
and found there was nothing to It,
not an iota Of truth. .,
But the line is finely drawn be-
tween atrocity stories and those
which are part of the picture of the
guerrilla warfare which went on here
for days.
On atrocity stories you have tc
have the word of the man who saw
them. Personally, haven't seen any
evidence of any such work. But Pic
Theodore G. Kowalski, who himself
is quite a story. says he saw Ameri-
can parachutists hanged by the
Germans by their own jump ropes
He added he saw others shot in the
parachute harness as they were
getting free of the chute. The latter
is a common story, and seems to be
justified by the rules of warfare.

GONE of the things have written
- may appear harsher on paper
than they would have sounded in
speech; but as have said, | would
rather err on the side of bluntness
than smother you with compliments.
AS Americans and as citizens of
the world we are deeply concerned
for the cultivation of the friendliest
relations between Great Britain and
the United States.
To every thoughtful American
it is clear, eUen after the brilliant sue
cess of the Teheran conference, that
Anglo-American solidarity still rep
resents the best hope of tortured
tOorld. And yet We must recognize
that divergent UieWs and clashes-eE
interest are part and parcel of politi-
cal reality, Which it Woutd be folly
to blink and perilous to ignore.

Your agents and proconsuls lent
themselves to the sordid business of
drawing that small and sacred land
into the whirlpool Of international
intrigue and power politics.
You played with the murderous
multi.
You did not suppress, but en-
couraged Arab-Jewish rivalry and
hostility. You used the last hope Of
an exiled nation AS A PAWN IN
YOUR DIPLOMATIC GAME.
You refused sanctuary to our
refugees and sent them to a watery
grave.
You refused us a Jewish. army,
