Trusteeships Neglected Opportunity

Debate among Americans over their Government's claim

to a "strategic trusteeship" in the Pacific has become somewhat confused. This has happened because the United Nations Charter has been held aloft as the criterion for American action, and this is said to fall short of Charter requirements, either in letter or spirit. Likewise, the New Zealand trusteeship proposal has been attacked as violating the Charter.

The United States has asked for a trusteeship over the

Marshalls, Carolines, and Marianas. These clusters of islands spread over an oceanic area 3,200 by 1,500 miles. The United States demands that this entire area be designated as strategic.

Now, "strategic areas" have generally been thought of

as parts of territories which might be fortified. . Had the United States asked only that certain key islands in these

groups or, better still, parts of the key islands be called

strategic and thus made immune to United Nations inspection, there would have been relatively little criticism of the American proposals.

W hatever we have assumed the intentions of U. N.

members to be, the Charter plainly states that "part or all"

ci a trusteeship territory may be treated as strategic, bo

the American proposal does not violate the Charter. But here let us remember that the trusteeship sections cf the Charter were virtually written by the United States, 'with these Pac'fic islands very much in mind. It is just about impossible to violate them. Christian Science Monitor.

"The Illinoisgroup is showing the way for other Midwestern areas by arranging demonstrations in a number of cities of the state to show soil deterioration and to outline corrective measures," the statement points out. "Bankers attending meetings will carry information back to local groups, with the aim of unifying all agencies interested in fighting soil erosion and depletion.

overdrawn. The same rule applies to soil fertility. "Enormous drafts against the soil's plant food reserves have been made ever since the out

break of World War It. As a result, deficiencies in essential fertilizer elements such as nitrogen, phorphorus and potash are be--coming more evident. "The remedy lies in soil rebuilding. Every farmer should have a replenishment program that includes the application of mixed fertilizer and follow it carefully. A substantial fertility account in his 'soil bank' will be his greatest economic safeguard."

Karstens, Purdue University agricultural extension engineer. It is important to know by means of soil borings what type of soils are present to a depth of five Jjeet. Many Indiana pond failures could have been avoided had an investigation been made .With a soil auger or a post hole digger.

"He goes or I do," Odalie said. ON THE same night that Etienne Fox was born, a slave child arrived for Stephen's field foreman, AchiUe. Caleen, his grandmother, held the tiny slave and her eyes were crafty. "He will be a warrior," she said. "His body they will enslave but never his mind and his heart." On Stephen's orders, the baby, named "Little Inch,'' was kept away from the others to be trained as a manservant for young Etienne : The year 1831 was a good one throughout the Bayou Country. The great plantations-grew and prospered. And of them none grew greater or richer than Harrow. StcpheD paid off his debts to Tom Warren. He bought new machinery but the hulk of his profits He sent away to far-off Philadelphia. "Your .Louisiana banker," he jsid. "is long , on emotion but short on prudence. For monetary afi'airs.

The yellow coach rolled away lo New Orleans ... give me a vinegary Yankee every time." By the time Etienne was a year old, the plantation was geared to revolve around him. All was going smoothly when an old river friend of Stephen's Mike Farrel chose to put in an appearance at Harrow. , Mike, a lusty, one-eyed boat captain, had been promised a permanent home by Stephen. But he soon had the plantation slaves almost demoralized with liquor and his ideas of acceptable conduct. Odalie stormed at Stephen, "I won't have him here!" "Softly," Stephen said. "If I choose to have Mike stay at Harrow 'tis my affair and he stays!" "Either he goes," Odalie derlnred. "Or 1 do!" Stephen shrnesjed. "The choice is up to yp." Two .hours "later, while Stephen was in the fields, the

yellow coach rolled away with Odalie, Etienne, Caleen and two other slaves. They were on their way to the home ol Pierre Arceneaux in New Orleans ... On the table in the great hall, the note gleamed white against the fine old yellowed fabric. And the night came down in a vast stillness. Andre was with him when Stephen found Odalie's letter.: As they came in, they were talking about conditions in the city where the plague already had taken 3,000 lives that summer. Stephen read the letter aloud. , ' "You're riding after her, of course," Andre said. ... Stephen's lips curled in a half-smile. "No," he said. "My dogs, my horses, my slaves and my women obey me. She will come back ..." (Continued tomorrow)
