This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,yn

Ranking naval and military men In
Washington do not conceal their con-
cern over the somewhat uncertain fu-
ture Of the strategic islands in the Pa
cific. The international trusteeship
system provided in the United Nations
organization places under the juris-
diction OF the Security Council terri
tories designated as Of strategic i'm
portance
The revelation made last Tuesday by
Secretary of State Byrnes that America
had agreed at Potsdam to place the
fog-enveloped Kurile Islands under the
tr,lsteeship OF Russia has caused q Ger
tain amount of commotion in WASH
1ngton. The military importance of
this chain Of 50 islands stretching for
l,500 miles must not be exaggerated.
But the concession, which Secretary
Byrnes described as honoring some of
the Yalta agreements, surprised many.
1t Is being explained now In "in-
formed" quarters that the Kuriles have
only secondary strategic Importance
and they were traded" for some sub.
stantial concession to China which OBJ
tained, after the end of the Potsdam
deals" the right to share the Port

The chief concern Of those military
and naval men who are thinking in
terms of positive military rather than
uncertain political security is the fu-
ture OF the strategic islands in the Pa
cif1c which will be placed at the formal
end OF the war under an international
trusteeship. On the surface 1t would
appear that there need be no worry
about our keeping a number OF islands
which belonged or had been inundated
to Japan In the Pacific. The San Fran
cisco pact provides clearly for the crea-
tion OF number Of strategic areas"
on which the trustee nations will be
allowed to build naval and air bases
and construct the necessary fortifica-
tions for their defense. But how long
the trustee nation will be permitted to
occupy them and when their trustee
ships can be altered Is not left in the
hands OF the administering authority,
but Is vested in the Security Council.
Article 80 OF the Charter provides
that: All functions of the United Ma
tions relating to strategic areas, includ-
ing the approval Of the terms of the
trusteeship agreements and of their
alteration or amendment shall be exer-
cised by the Security Council"
The Council is composed of fve per-
manent members - America, Britain.
Russia, France and China-and six
members Of the United Nations elected
by the General Assembly for a period
of two years
1t Is pointed out that after the United
States receives, under the trusteeship

St. Stephens Relics

A new tie between America and
Hungary has been created by the
recovery of the relics of Saint
Stephen by the United States 7th
Army. The sacred souvenirs of the
Magyar patron were found at Fra
ham, near Salzburg in Austria. A
small detachment Of Hungarian SOL
diers had been assigned to guard
the treasure, and they were faithful
to their trust. But the Yanks took
the whole trove into protective GUS
tody, just to be sure that nothing
was mislaid. &
Saint Stephen, 1t should be ex-
planned, was a monarch as well as
as a religious leader. Born in 977,
he was the son of Duke Geza and
Sarolta, his wife, a noble Christian
woman. A German priest, a Czech
priest and an Italian knight were
the young princes tutors. When
nineteen he married Gisela, a daugh-
ter of Henry II of Bavaria. The
next year he succeeded his father
in the ducal Office, but the youth
was not to reign without challenge.
A pagan reaction developed. Soon
an army of rebels was in the field.
Stephen hastened to meet them,
bearing the banner of Saint Martin
OF Tours Tn the nps,,ioo hot%Io ha
was distinctively victorious. The re-
suit was his assumption of the royal
title.
Stephens crown, so legend tells,
was a gift from Pope Sylvester II.
Originally 1t was intended for a
Polish sovereign, but the Holy
Father sent 1t to Hungary in con-
formity with the instruction Of an
angel seen In dream. The king
wore the golden circlet constantly

No Back Puy

The matter of Major James P. S.
Devereux's back pay provides mate
rial for an interesting study in the
extent to which common sense can
be tortured by regulations and red
tape.
Imprisoned by the Japanese after
his heroic defense of Wake Island,
Major Devereux, on May 16, 1912,
was promoted" to the rank of
lieutenant colonel. Presumably this
was intended to serve as recognition
Of the great service he had rendered
and to compensate him in small
degree for the personal sacrifice that
national unpreparedness had I'M
posed on him. But now 1t seems
that the promotion may have been
more apparent than real since Major
Devereux, under Marine Corps regu-
lations, is not entitled to any back
pay at the higher rank and may not
receive the rank itself unless he can
pass a physical examination. II he
had been released by the japanese
more than three years ago, he would
have received both the higher pay
and the higher rank. But because
he has had to endure the ordeal of
imprisonment he loses the back pay
and, If his health has been suffi-
ciently impaired, he may also lose
the rank.
1t Is regulations of this sort plus
routine adherence to them which
one associates with the term brass
hat" in its most unf1attering con-
notation. Fortunately, Chairman
Vinson of the House Naval Affairs
Committee has promised that Con-
gress will see to it that the regula-
ton Is not applied to the prejudice
OF Marines who have been prisoners
of war, and the sooner steps to this
end are taken the better it will be.

The beginning Of September In the

grass almost as green. and the birds

Robins are forming into small bands.

as raisins.

plies for them.
ralsins In the grass at given spot
every day.
The birds will find them, be sure of
that. Other species will eat them, too,
but it is the robin who makes the most
of them.
Lingering catbirds and most of the
Knockers will eat raisins. few mock
ingbirds stay with us all winter. In
most cases these are males Some one
has said that the lady Knockers have
too much sense to remain here in the

of bread.
They spent long time quarrelin9
over 1t, flying up at each other re-
peatedly.
Then they settled down to eating.
Slices Of bread, first wet with milk
or water, are liked by many species.
They form good bird food, especially
If made of whole wheat or soy -four.
The protein Of soybeans more nearly
resembles that of meat than any other
vegetable.
The word protein, by the way, is
pronounced protein, with the accent
on the first syllable, and not protein, as
so often heard.
The derivation, from Proteus. ought
to remind any one Of the correct pro-
nunciation.
Young cardinals Of this summers
growth make great fuss when coming

Often this totally unnecessary noise
attracts the attention of wandering cats.
which otherwise would never notice
them.
Here, as often is the case, they bsing
upon themselves disaster because they
will not keep their mouths shut.
The desire to make noise in the
world runs through all creation, SEEM
lngly. How else may we explain the
terrible power which lies in the atom?
Inert and seemingly lifeless, all mat
ter longs at its core to make big noise.
When it does so at last 1t finds that
Its "big noise" is only for a moment,
with death and destruction at the heart
Of the matter.
Perhaps shooting off the mouth" no
matter how pleasant at times, results
in nothing better, in many instances.

During the war we learned how light

small body of water.
Warblers and other small birds in
migration often fly for as much as 500
miles and more in single flight.
Often "spot" of rest will mean more
to them than food.
Most Of the migrating species do not
visit feeding stations. They are shy
for one thing, and dislike the company
Of other birds for another.

and chief Of police. This would
further reduce Spanish authority in
Tangier. More than that, 1t would
seem to indicate that Russia and
the United States, as newcomers,
seek no major position in the con-
troll organization, but intend to
limit their participation merely to
a policy role designed to serve their
Mediterranean interests.

Two days later the bodies of the

to ashes after his murder in Mexico
City four and half years ago. The
Oumanskys' ashes were carried to
Moscow IN silver urns by a United

A Mexican commission of inquiry
fixed responsibility for the accident
on Captain Ceron. The decision was
that he made an error in judgment in
lifting the plane from the ground.
