KRAMER MODIFIES
JAP BLOW STORY
Testifies He Changed Rec.
elections Because OF
Talks With Stark

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. - up -
Naval Captain A. D. Kramer testi,
fled today that he had modified his
Pearl Harbor recollections partly
because" of conversations with
Admiral Harold R. Stark.
But he was emphatic that Stark
1941 chief of Naval operations, did
not suggest changes. He said they
merely discussed what had hap.
pened in Washington on the day the
Japanese struck.
The point came up before the
Senate-House committee investiga-
ting the December 7, 1871 disaster
in connection with memorandum
Kramer prepared in May of 1914
This memo was drafted as result
of questions sent him by Capt
L. F. Stafford in a secret code let
ter and also sent to him, through
Admiral William F. Halsey, by Ad-
miral Husband E.. Kimmel.
Stafford has told the committee
he was active in a campaign to
clear Kimmel, 1941 Pacific fleet
commander, of P ear Harbor
blame.
Zone of the reasons I did not re-
ply to Safford," Kramer testified
today, was because Stafford was
apparently putting me on some sort
of team. I proposed to be on no
team"
He said that he had shown the
to HaIsey but had
never made any use of it, nor sent
1t, to Kimmel or Stafford.
Stafford wrote that according to
his recollection Kramer had told
him of seeing Admiral Stark about

Free Trade With Eastern

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. -
R-A House committee put
forth today the suggestion
that free trade with eastern
Europe be made a part of the
deal in any loan to Russia.
The group, a special COM
mittee on postwar economic
policy, said loan discussions
with the United States "are
now going on on the basis of

000,000,000 was discussed at
one time.
Asserting that the Soviet union
has formed political and econom-
ic bloc that gives it tight control
over trade with eastern European
countries, the committee said the
arrangement has made trade with
other nations extremely difficult.
Others Included
1t suggested that an agreement
for lifting of trade barriers be
reached by any nations making
loans to Russia. 1t named Fin
land, Romania, Hungary, Poland
and Czechoslovakia as included in
the Russian trade orbit.
The question was discussed in a
tentatively approved repor to

BLAMES CAPITAL
SYSTEM FOR WAR
Predicts Soviet Scientists
Will Catch Up, 'Surpass
Those Abroad
By TOM WILLIAMS

LONDON, Feb. g. up -
Generalissimo Stain, declar-
ing the last two wars resulted
from the development of cap
italistic world economy, to-
night announced a new five
year plan for Soviet Russia
a n d stupendous production
goals "to guarantee our coun-
try against any eventuality."
He predicted, too, that Soviet
scientists could mot only catch
up with but surpass those abroad"
He did not mention atomic re-
search specifically.
Stain said the new five-year
plan-Russia's fourth including the
one interrupted by German in
vasion in 1941-would be inaugu-
rated soon, and 'for the further
future" set goals for steel, pig
iron, coal and Oil production close
to the output of the United States.
eve Must Do IT,
Perhaps three new five-year
plans will be required to achieve
this, if not more. But it can be
done and we must do it."
In prediction speech broad
least by the Moscow radio, the
Soviet chieftain promised that
soon rationing will end,' and that
the Russian workers standard Of
living would be raised.
Declaring that the war was "the
inevitable result ofs the develop
ment of the world economic and
political forces on the basis of
monopoly capitalism" Stain as
serted:
perhaps the catastrophe of war
could have been avoided if the
possibility of periodic redistribu-
ton of raw materials and markets
between the countries existed in
accordance with their economic
needs, in the way Of coordinated
and peaceful decisions.
"But this is impossible under the
present capitalistic development of
world economy. Thus as a result
of the first crisis in the develop
ment of the capitalistic world
economy the first war arose. The
second World War arose as a re-
suit of the second crisis"
Candidate
Stain, making his first speech
since last Sept. 2, spoke for Sc
minutes on the eve Of elections
for the supreme Soviet. He spoke
in the district, where he is a cam
didate for reelection.
He called for an Industrial out
put of $4,000, 900 tons of pig iron a
year, 100000 900 tons of steel, $780,
100000 tons Of coal, and $4,000, 900
tons of oil.
When these goals are reached,
"only then can we consider our
country guaranteed against any
eventually" he said.
(The Statesman's yearbook of
1915 said Russia's estimated pro-
duction in 1871, last available year,
was 10000 900 tons of pig iron, 22,-
900, 900 Of steel, 191, 100000 of coal,
and %, 100000 of oil. The American
iron and steel institute gave U. S.
production of pig iron in 1914 as
81, 007, 900 tons and steel as 09,641,-
900. The U. S. Bureau of Mines
reported U. S. production of coal
and coke in 1914 as 683, 700, 900
tons)
Praises System
Stain, recalling foreign predic-
tons that the Russian state was
doomed to failure. declared the
test of war had shown chat our
Soviet system is popular. has
grown out Of the people, is capa-
BILE of life and is a solid organiza-
ton of society. The question is no.
