U. S. TO INSIST
ON REAL PEACE
Reveal Statement
By Welles, Roosevelt's
Special Envoy
BY ROY PORTER

PARIS, March 9.-R - Under
secretary of State Sumner Welles
told the French today the United
States will insist that the peace
which follows the European war
provide strong safeguards for the
freedom Of international trade and
eliminate resentment and fears be.
tween nations.
Welles' statement became public
through an announcement of the
French finance ministry after Fl.
lance Minister Paul Reynaud had
conferred for two hours with Pres.
ident Roosevelt's fact-finder.
The views of the United States,
Reynaud responded as quickly as
he could consult with Premier Da-
Ladder, coincide perfectly with the
ideas Of France.
The ministry's communique list.
ed these three points as having
been suggested by Welles:
1. Healthy commercial relations
must be the basis of political and
economic peace.
2. The prosperity of international
commerce precludes exclusive dis.
criminatory agreements between
two countries.
8. If world trade is to be recon
structed after the war, it must be
without resentment or fear Of any
nations towards others.
Reconstruction Of commerce on a
healthy base, the memorandum
went on, demands the elimination
Of excessive, unreasonable barriers
opposed to the flow of merchan-
disc outside Of national frontiers;
acceptance Of the rule of non-dis-
elimination by the appliance Of the
principle Of the most favored ma
ton; and the creation in the do
main of exchange and credit Of
conditions necessary for the multi
lateral function Of commercial deal
ing"
A sharp allusion was made in
the memorandum to barriers to in
ternational commerce which bellig-
erent nations have set up to prose-
cute their warfare on the economic
front.
"All of these barriers are instru-
ments of economic warfare" it set
forth. Recent experiences have
shown clearly their destructive ef-
fects on international commerce in
peace time and as a result their de-
pressing influence on the standard
Of living and the general economic
well-being between nations, as well
