Peace Treaty Should
Wait Until Hatreds
Cool, WeIIes Says
e..
Sir John Dill and Envoy
From Mexico Also Talk
At Baltimore RoIIy

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, June i8.-The max
ing Of final peace terms after the
war should wait until hatreds have
cooled sufficiently to permit judg-
ments "coolly and nationally rem
dered" Undersecretary of State
Welles believes.
I Mr.. Welles, speaking before
United Nations rally last night, said
Cooperation was no less essential in
maintaining peace than in winning
the war and recalled the tragic ex-
perienceS" after the last world con-
f1ict.
Organization for preserving a
sound peace should go hand in hand
with prosecution of the war he said,
adding that the lease-lend agree
ments with Great Britain, China,
Russia and Belgium might be a
basis for economic recuperation OF
the world.
There will be vital need for such
an organization during the transl-
ton period following the war, Mr..
Welles commented. He said:
Millions Seen Homeless.
Millions Of the worlds peoples
will be homeless; in Europe and IN
Asia transportation systems Will be
ruined. production facilities de-
stroyed. farms laid waste; cities de-
vastated; we shall all of us be con-
fronted with the gigantic task OF
converting to peacetime uses whoie
industries now producing munitions
OF war.
There must be agreement upon
the objectives to be attained; Ma
chinery for carrying out the agreed
action of the United Nations, and
cooperative efforts of the highest
order among all of the United Ma
tions, to which the oppressed peo-
pies of the earth may look with
hope when they have cast OIL their
chains"
Field Marshal Sir John Dill, chief
OF the British military staff IN
Washington, said in another address
that the United Nations were
stewards in great cause.-The
freedom of man, now and here
after. He urged a less critical at
titude among the Allies.
Mexico Envoy Is Speaker.
Dark hours and disappointments
await us, but they will pass as has
30 often happened in the days that
are now behind us. And the dawn
may be less far distant than We
have any right to hope"
The free nations of the world
have slowly. but courageously"
united and the Axis countries will
be destroyed, perhaps much sooner
than we expect" Mexican Ambas-
sador Francisco Castillo Na1era de-
clared in another address.
The victory of the United Ma
tions will be a victory for mankind.
Because it is aware of the fact,
Mexico feels that it plays a modest
but well-defined part in the COM
mon task of the United Nations;
q noble part in a world enterprise
which must result not only in the
decisive annihilation of inter-
national outlawry, but the estab-
lishment Of a better security in
which to live"

typewriters, building construction
and textiles.
The Senate conclusions differed
widely from an earlier report by a
House Military Affairs Subcommlt-
tee which commended efforts of the
dollar-a-year men and said Mr..
Guthrie's charges lacked proof other
than as evidence of sharp differ
ences of opinion among war pro-
duction officials.
Was Dollar a-Year Man.
Mr.. Guthrie, a former Paducah
(Ky) merchant who was serving In
the WPB on a dollar-a-year basis,
quit as head of the textile, cloth
ing and leather goods branch along
with two aides, declaring that WPB
officials were lax in wool and tex
tile conservation.
Later, Mr.. Nelson said that per
sonal conflicts" between Mr.. Guth-
rie and members of his staff in the
Textile Division had "impeded that
part of the war effort" Mr.. Guth-
rie, the WPB chief said, had au-
thority to deal with the SITUATION,
but had failed to do so on his own
account and did nothing TO bring
the difficulties to my attention or
request any action on my part until
After his resignation
chairman Truman in his state
rnent. said: This committee has
repeatedly concluded that the work
of the OPM and WPB has been
hampered by the extent to which
their personnel was predominately
drawn from the big business
groups"
He added that while there was
no question as to patriotism, IN
tegrity. or ability, the ATTITUDES
and associations which these men
have acquired through the years
makes 1t undesirable to rely upon
them exclusively for direction OF
the war production programs.
Changes Recommended.
Senator Truman said that labor
has demonstrated its right to a
greater degree of participation In
the operating work of the War Pro-
duction Board"
He also recommended wider
opportunity" for small businessmen
to participate in WPB administra-
ton and a place in the setup for
many of the country'S outstanding
independent-minde production en-
gineers." These engineers, he said,
have demonstrated grasp of the
conversion problem far in advance
of that shown by many OF the top
industrial and financial executives"
Members of the special commit
tee in addition to Chairman Tru-
man are: Senators Hatch, Democrat.
of New Mexico; Connally, Democrat,
of Texas: Mead, Democrat, OF New
York; Walgren, Democrat, of Wash
ington; Herring, Democrat, of Iowa;
Kilgore, Democrat, West Virginia;

One Opposed Report.
Hugh Fulton, committee counsel,
said no members of the committee
actually signed the report but that

who based his opposition on the

Probably she does not like flies much

Scientists study many kinds of

Often they grow interested in such
insects, even though they must re-
port the harm done by one kind or
another.
Like other insects, the housefly
has six legs II it rubs its head or

four others on which to stand.
Most insects have four wings
apiece, but not the housefiy. 1t has
only one pair of wings.
There are many kinds of flies, and
some OF them do no damage to peo-
