Reynaud in a reply made after conferring with Premier Edouard Dal- adier, told the American undersec retary oi state mat tne views of the United States government were highly acceptable to France. A ministry communique said Welles, here on his fact-flndina tour of Europe, set forth these American suggestions in a three-point memorandum: 1.

Tne oasis or political and economic peace must be founded on healthy commercial relations. 2. The prosperity of International commerce precludes exclusive discriminatory agreements between two countries. 3. After the war If world trade is to be reconstructed it must be without resentment or fear of any nation toward others.
