Continued from Page D or untrue" he said. My life has been devoted to the advocacy of tol- eration where toleration may be found.
 What I have criticized is state which though territorially small Is in influence and authority wide spread and powerful. I have cri- 5icized that state as I am en- titled to criticize every state in- ciuding my own-because it has seen fit in the exercise of its sov- ereign rights to assist in the mass acre of . great democracy"
 Continuing his speech, Laski de- nounced free enterprise.
 Free enterprise and market economy mean war; Socialism and planned economy mean peace, :" Laski said. All attempts to find a compromise are satanic illusion. y
 LaSki said also that war is the outcome of the exercise of govern nients of unlimited sovereignty. v Governmens already are planning to use atomic power as "a weapon of death," he said.
 The present economy of the United States is "the direct road to serfdom," Laski said.
 He attacked the policy of with holding information about the atomic bomb. No nation is fit "to be trusted with the development Of atomic energy" he said.
 I.ash counted it significant that only in Russia "has the business man ceased to count" and that one of the major pre-occupations of the great vested interests in keeping the atomic secret from Russia.
 Criticize British Policy
 Laski criticized sharply British foreign policy.
 T am not proud of the British record in the years of appeasement; I have a deep sense of guilt when I see the tragic spectacle of Spaln, he said. T do not think the ordln- ary citizen of Great Britain thought ti1e war was being fought to re- turn the Indonesian people to the sovereignty of Holland"
 He said he would judge the sin cerity of the British labor govern ,nent by the way they organized conditions in India necessary to make 1t free and self-gvernmg

Reopening Of Lakewood Park Urged
 North End Community
 Presents Request

The city's Park Board yesterday placed on a record another conn munication received from the North End Community Club urging the reopening of Lakewood Park as a recreational center. The request will be acted upon in the near future.
 The club asked that the l946 bud- get include an appropriation for such a proposal. This has not been done, Park Superintendent James J. Curtin pointed out because the Lakewood proposal has been con- sldered within the $80,000 appropri- ation in the Swear 12 million post war plan of the city's.
 James V. Jannitto president of the North End Community Club who signed the letter to the board, declared that the proposal was SUD- ported by many members of the community other than the club it. self.
 we seek a specific recreational center for the North End Commun- ity children" MT. Jannitto said. We will be glad to cooperate with the city in every way to make such a center 8 worthwhile social project.

(COntlnueu rom fa8e l) attack-that the Japanese were end- ing diplomatic talks.
 The Japanese message and Tokyo orders for its delivery on Dec. . at D. m. Washington time had been intercepted and decoded earl fer. Miles did not know the exact hour of interception and transla- ton.
 Refers to Notes
 Miles referred to a memorandum he wrote eight days after the at- tack for Gen. George o. Marshall, then Army Chief of Staff. It was based on a meeting in Marshall's office on the morning of Dec. 2 af- ter interception of the Japanese message.
 He said he found Marshall in his office at about 11:25 a. m, and they were joined almost immediate ly by Col. R. s. Bratton, Chief of the Far Eastern Division of Mili- tary Intelligence. Bratton brought in copies of the Japanese inter- cepts.
 Marshall read them and asked for suggestions.
 Saw Significance
 Miles said he and Bratton be- lieved there was important slgni- flcance in the time of the delivery of the reply = an indication that some military action would be un- dertaken by the Japanese at that time"
 we thought it probable that the Japanese line of action would be into Thailand, but 1t might be any one or more of a number of other areas" he read from the memor- andum.
 CThe Japanese struck Pearl Harbor at 7:55 a. m. Hawaiian time or 1:25 p. m. Washington time)
 Miles said he urged that the Philippines, Hawaii, Panama and the West Coast be informed imme- diately that the Japanese reply was to be delivered at 1 p. m. and to be on the alert.

 fore eventually turning east in their own good time"
 Plans Underway
 Within a year, he said, Hitler was drafting plans for the operation against Russia.
 At the time the German Russian frontier treaty was signed Jan. 10, 1941, the plan for invasion already had been determined, he said. Three weeks later Hitler gave orders to camouf1age preparations for the att tack as an invasion of Britain and two months later Germany had full plans for dividing Russia into nine separate states.
 By May l, 1941, said Shawcross, the German time table had been fixed, calling for the attack June 9 and schedule of operations set up which indicated the German high command expected to conquer Rus sla in four weeks
 While paying lip service to peace, he said, the Nazis violated treaty after treaty with blackmail and bullying, deceit and mockery of all their sworn obligations. The Kel- logg-Briand Pact outlaWed war.
 There is no definition of aggres- sion general or particular which does not cover abundantly and ir- resistibly and in every material de- tail the premeditated onslaught by Germany upon the territorial in- tegrity and political independence of so many states Sir Hartley said.
 Tt is salutary legal rule that persons who in violation of law plunge their own and other coun- tries into aggressive war do so with halter around their necks.'
 Sir Hartley charged that the in- vaslon of Poland was a breach of the Hague Convention, the Treaty of Versailles and 10-year Non Aggression Pact Germany signed with Poland in January, 1884.
 Sir Hartley, chief British prosecu- tor, sought to destroy defense claims that the defendants were innocent because no international law for bidding the Nazi deeds existed at the time they were done. He based his case primarily on the Kellogg -Bri- and Treaty of which Germany was signatory at the time war began. By the time the National Social ist state had embarked upon prep aration of a war of aggression against the civilized world, and by the time it had accomplished that design. aggressive war had be- come illegal beyond all uncertainty and doubt" he said.

 course in waters where enemy sub marines might have been encoun- tered. Cady said the charge was only a mere conclusion" The court refused to sustain his objection.
 The Navy's charge indicated that McVay allowed his ship to continue 4 direct course from Guam to Leyte for more than 24 hours prior to the time the ship sank. It noted that the cruiser did not have eScorting ships
 In the second charge, McVay was accused of "culpable inefficiency by not ordering the officers and men to abandon the ship after she was abadly damaged and in sinking con- dition." No explanation has been given by the Navy of the exact de- tails of the sinking other than the observation that 1t occurred through Henemy action" It is believed the ship was torpedoed or rammed a torpedo-lade Japanese submarine.
 s Witnesses Called
 The Navy's prosecution, directed by Capt. Thomas J. Ryan, Jr., dis closed that 1t has summoned as witnesses IS officers and about 20 enlisted men who were aboard the ship when 1t exploded. Some prob ably will be heard today. They will be available for cross-examination by McVay,s counsel.
 Secretatry of the Navy James V F'orrestal authorized the court to move its hearings from the local Navy yard to any other site which would facilitate witnesses testimony summoning of the initial witnesses to Washington, however, indicates that such a transfer Is unlikely
 Mcvay, who is AT years old and a veteran of % years of regular Navy service, appeared calm as he faced the court at its opening session. He in a clear, commanding voice when asked preliminary questions by the trial judge advocate. he wore nine battle decorations on his uniform.
