The United States, facing a
potentially hot debate over its
offer of limited United Nations
Jurisdiction over Japanese-man-
dated Pacific islands, today
urged the U. N. to set up a
trusteeship council Immediately
without injecting the veto into
discussions.
John Foster Dulles. American rep1
resentatiye, stated the American po-
sition In the 51-nation Trustee Com
mittee after Washington had made
it clear the United States would re-
serve sweeping rights, especially mil
itary, in the islands which President
Truman has offered to place under
q. N. trusteeship.
One delegate said the military
rights demanded by the United
States were exactly the same as she
would have If she annexed the is
lands outright.
Draft Agreements Approved.
Mentioning President Truman s
proposal, Mr.. Dulles told the COM
mittee that his country was ready to
accept the terms of draft agreements
submitted by five other countries for
old League of Nations mandates.
Great Britain, France, Belgium,
New Zealand and Australia have Of
fered these agreements on eight
inundated territories.
Mr.. Dulles asked for every country
which is interested, whether or not
IL was a state directly concerned"
to have an equal opportunity to pre-
sent its views on the agreements.
"Ihe United States is willing to
join with others in accepting a
system of equality and not asserting
a special position in relation to the
agreements now before U.s." he said
I'VE do not want an Interpretation
Of states directly concerned which
might import the veto system into
the work of the Assembly,"

Soviet Union might seek to extend
the power of veto into the Trustee
ship Council, once it has been set up.
China Backs Request.
China joined in the plea for early
establishment of the Council, with
Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs
Liu Chieh adding:
Let not the truSteeship system be
a spoils system nor let it degenerate
into an innocuous and insignificant
paper scheme.
Let not the declaration regard
ing nonselfgoverning territories
become a mere high sounding pro-
nouncement of the victorious nations
Of the Second World War.
"Let the hundreds of millions OF
nonself governing peoples be reas-
sured that the U. N. is intent upon
taking immediate steps to safeguard
their future progress and ultimate
freedom"
Carlos Martins of Brazil asked
delegates to make careful study o1
the agreements and insisted on the
rights of colonial peoples to direct
their own destinies.
