The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1945-05-03
Program Varies from u. S.
Plan Presented Tuesday
of American views:


!. There should be only
single class Of trusteeships. The
British maintain il j. too diff
cult to define just what are
strategic areas. The British hold
that the entire approach to the
problem should be on the basis
of welfare of native populations.
To satisfy special requirements
for military bases, they suggest
that the mandates should apply
lly to economic, civil and So
cial aspects Of truSteeships,
leaving the trustee countries
free to handle any military as
poets as they see fit.
2. The trusteeeships should
be placed under the supervision
Of the economic and social coun-
ell of the world organization.
The security council would have
the right to request military in
formation, however, in accord
ance with special agreements TO
be worked out among the Unit
ed Nations.
3. Trustee powers should have
increased freedom in admins
tering areas, providing admins
tration is in the interests of the
population. This means that they
could restrict immigration, or
bring the areas into their tariff
and trade control systems.
4. international supervision
should be similar to that exer-
cised by the old League of Ma
tions. The world organization
would receive reports from trus-
tee powers, have the right to
cross-examine them, and the
right to visit the dependent areas
after consulting and obtaining
agreement from the controlling
country.
VARIATION
Each Of these points differ
from the American views, which
are:
/. There should be two cate
gories of Observation-Disclosures
and non-strategic.
q Strategic areas would be
under the military committee OF
the security council. T h c
would be no right of inspection
and reports would be made to
the military committee on the
same basis as reports of national
territory which might come un-
der the special military agree
ments. Although the mandate
country wouldn't have title to
the areas, it would have com
plete and continuing control
3. Non-strategic areas Woule
come under the supervision o
a special trusteeship council, tt
be set up under the general as
sembly of the new peace agency
A princip is included pledginl
the trustee nations to administer
their charges so as to lead them
to position where they coulo
choose their own government
and independence, if h e y
pleased.
EQUAL AVIATION RIGHTS
An important provision-con.
flicting with British ideas - Is
that there shall be no discrlmi-
nation in the rights of the man
datory and other countries
This means equal commercial
aviation rights, communication
rights, and tariff and trade
treatment.
4. The worl d organization
would have the right TO visit
non strategic areas any time and
make reports on all phases OF
administration there.
1t has been published that
trusteeships under this outline
can be applied to former man
dates, territory taken from the
enemy, and any areas which
countries want to designate.
President Roosevelt insisted
on this third category at Yalta
and it was accepted by Britain
and Russia. However, the only
possibility now appearing of any
country relinquishing territory
concerns Somaliland in Africa
which is divided among Britain
France and Italy. The British
feel it would be much easier to
administer Somaliland as sim
gle international responsibility
