Mr. Roosevelt said, "con stitutes, of course, only one phase of the arrangements which must be made between nations to ensure an orderly, harmoni ous world.

For it concerns the basis upon which they will be able to exchange with one an other the nat'onal riches of the earth and the products of their own Industry and ingenuity.

London, July 1 (U.R) Bad weather curtailed allied air ac tivity today after a night in which powerful forces of British i bombers pulverized a concentra tion of German armor on the Normandy front, battered a syn thetic oil plant In Germany and hammered a key Nazi rail junc tion supplying the French battle front. It appeared likely that only limited patrols and armed recon naissance by fighters would be possible in support of the Nor mandy battle, getting the July battle of the skies off to a slow start after a .record-breaking month of June in which allied expeditionary air forces flew ap proximately 90,000 sorties. The last full scale effort In support of allied troops was an attack Friday night by more than 250 Halifax and Lancaster bombers which dropped more than 1,000 tons of bombs on the Villcrs-Cocage area where the Germans had concentrated large forces of tanks and men. Mosquito bomber squadrons went out at night to heap many 4,000-pound bombs on a synthetic oil plant at Homberg on -the Rhine and one particularly large explosion was observed. One bomber was lost. Mines were laid in enemy waters. The 15th air force based In Italy sent up to 500 heavy bomb ers out In daylight Friday to at tack targets in the Balkans, Hun gary and Jugoslavia. The tar gets were military objectives in the Zagreb, Yugoslavia, and Budapest areas; Banja Luka air field and split harbor in Yugo slavia; and Bare railbridge and Knpsovar rallyards in Hungary.
