WASHINGTON, May 80. A
blueprint of the better world order
which the American government
hopes to stablish after this war
was outlined today by Undersec-
rotary of State Sumner Welles.
In a Memorial Day address at
Arlington National Gem terry,
Welles said that if the living are

leadership in establishing better
world order when the war ends,

added, must form the nucleus oil
this better world order and an
international police force must be
established TO insure freedom
from fear to peace loving peoples.
Hit Minority Biocs
Asserting that selfish interests
help to pave the way for mill
tarism and relationships, Welles
said American minority interests
must not be permitted to domi-
nate this country's domestic and
foreign policies in the postwar
years.
In one of the most important
declarations yet made by a high
ranking state department official
concerning the probable attitude
of this government toward the
future status of colonial empire
possessions such as India, Welles
declared that victory must bring

Bootlegging Nipped

Henderson told the senators
that the permanent East Coast
system calls for issuance of cou.
pom booklets and that dealers
will be required to turn in cou-
pons for the exact amount of
gasoline sold. This, he said, would
prnYide a check on staten opera
tors and prevent "bootlegging" of
fuel.
Brown said there are 434. 900
workers in TAO war production
plants in Michigan and that Is
per cent of them travel TO work
by private automobile. BY con-
trast, he said. subways, elevated
and surface railways in the East
carry a much larger percentage
of workers. This does not hold
true in the West and Midwest, he
says.
Meanwhile. Director Joseph B.
Eastman of the Office of Defense
Transportation, said the govern
ment plans to eliminate entirely
