PARIS, March o.-UndersecretAry
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 inter.
national trade and eliminate resent
ment and fears between nations.
Mr.. We1les' statement became
public through an announcement Of
the French finance ministry after
Finance Minister Paul Reynaud had
conferred for two hours with Presi-
dent RooseveN's fact-finder.
The views Of the United States, M.
Reynaud responded as, quickly rs
he could consult with Premier Da-
Ladder, coincide perfectly with the
ideas Of France.
Three Points Listed by Welles.
The ministry's communique listed
these three points as having been
suggested by Mr.. Welles:
l. 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.
3. If world trade is to be recon-
structed after the war, 1t must be
without resentment or fear of any
nations towards others. s.
Barriers Must Go.
Reconstruction Of commerce on a
healthy base, the memorandum went
on, demands the elimination OF
excessive, unreasonable barriers op-
posed to the flow of merchandise
outside of national frontiers; ac-
ceptance Of the rule of -discrimi-
nation by the appliance of the prtn-
ciple of the most favored nation;
and the creation In the domain OF
exchange and credit of conditions
necessary for, the multilateral func-
ton of commercial dealing"

memorandum to barriers to interna.

DEFENSE COMMISSION
APPROVES PROGRAM
TO TRAIN WORKERS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS.) "A COM
plete inventory of labor supply, pre-
cautions to prevent dislocation of la
Dor supply, requirements that en-
ployers file their labor needs promptly
and that workers register for jobs are
highlights of the recommendations
made by the Federal Advisory Coun-
Gil for Employment Security to the
Social Security Board and accepted by
the National Defense Commission.
The report stresses the Importance
of the public employment service in
organizing the labor market and in
selecting workers for training pro-
grams. The Federal Advisory Coun-
Gil is composed of representatives of
organized labor, management and the
general public. Both the A. F. of l..
and C. 10. are represented.
Workers will be asked not to move
to other cities without first ascer-
tanning from their local public-em-
ployment office the localities in which
there is demand for their type and
grade of skill"
Employers will be asked mot to ad-
vertise or solicit comparatively any
where, nor to recruit outside their i'm
mediate locality, until the employment
office has had an opportunity to meet
such requirements locally or through
it's intercity and interstate clearance
machinery"
This means expansion of the Bu-
reau of Employment Security, reap
praisal of it's organization, proceed
ures, and personnel at federal, state,
and local levels to meet the demands
which the National Defense Commits
sion may place upon it.
It is also indicated that when the
Universal Registration Act is passed
it will require information from reg
istrants concerning their employ
l44ent, employability, and qualifications
for employment" to make complete
inventory of labor supply.

NEW YOth.
The iron-clad union regulations
which theatrical workers have had
for years recently have produced q
curious incidental stepchild, the
"speakeasy" theater.
The "speakeasy" theater consists
Of private, unadvertised perform
ances before small selected audi
ences in secret spots, behind locked
doors. And they're on the level
not to escape the censor. The story
Is this:
The union rules, setting certain
minimum standards of wages and
working arrangements for producers,
and binding union members to ac-
cept no inferior standards, were
adopted after generations of strife
and confusion in the theater to
stabilize producer-employe relation
ships. Both sides have been q lot
happier under them.
A third party not envisioned in
the setup, however, has appeared
recently-the momentarily unem-
ployed and aspiring actors and play
wrights who want to display their
talents in private, non-commercial
sample" performances to audiences
Of producers and others.
Usually they can get hold Of q
vacant theater, gratis, but to put on
much Of q show, they need stage
hands, property men, and electri-
clans. The union rules make no
provision for paying these men any
less than the union scale, which
runs as high as 500 q week for
one man. Further. Equity. the ac-
tors union to which most Of these
aspirants belong, makes no provi-
