have Mr.. Sumner Welles tell us
that the government must "abide
by its pledged word" AS one who
did lot of the pledging, he should
set off his high moral horse, and
face the fact that we have con-
Trajectory pledges. For there is
no use pretending that we can
observe the spirit or even the letter
Of the Atlantic Charter, or the
spirit of the trusteeship system.
and at the same time make the
kind Of arrangements in these Is
lands which the Navy, the Con-
gress, and the public have been
promised.
> The best exit from this dilemma
would be the wholly honest solu.
ton. It would be to say to our
allies that these islands are not in
the same class with the Philip
pines, Indo-China Indonesia, Pal
estine. The problem of self-gov-
eminent cannot arise in any fore
seeable time, and therefore the
principles of the Atlantic Charter
and OF the trusteeship system do
not really apply to them. We
should like, therefore. to annex
the ones we are sure we need, and
then to administer them in the
spirit of the United Nations Char
ter and in order that we may be
able to fulfill our responsibilities,
which are very great, in stabiliz-
ing the peace of the Pacific.
This is not only what we want,
it is what our allies are quite will
ing to let us have. It is what we
shall in fact get. The only real
question is whether this solution 10
to be effected hypocritically or sim
cefely.
The hypocritical solution is to
annex the islands by drawing up
deeds of trust which make it ap-
pear that we have not annexed
them. Is there any advantage to
any one in such make-believe? IT
we get possession of these islands
under deed of trust which per-
mits us to do anything and every
thing we would do if we had an
nexed them, l do not think we
serve the cause of morality by pre-
tending that we have not.

May Extend Atomic Energy
Project OF Army Into 1913

Washington-The complexities
of putting the Civilian Atomic
Energy Commission into full op-
GRAFTON may require retention of
the army's Manhattan district un-
til mid-1948.

atomic energy research and de-
velopment, including both mill

the hands of the new super
agency.
The current appropriation for
the War Department includes
1915, 100000 for atomic service"
to cover a period from last July

position to know said this will
allow Maj. Gen. Leslie r. Groves
Manhattan District to carry on
while the civilian commission,
headed by David E. Lilienthal,
analyzes its assignment and makes
ready to take over.
Whether Groves, who has di-
rected the Manhattan. project
since its inception, would continue
in that post until the district is fl
nally absorbed by the commission
was not clear.
AS part of the planning for the
transition, the army and navy
have appointed a joint liaison
committee. The army delegation
is headed by Lieut.. Gen. Lewis
H. Brereton and the navy mem
bership by Rear Admiral Thor
valid A. Solberg. This group has
been given the job of advising the
civilian commission on that part
of atomic energy useful to the
military, including the business
of making bombs.

held its fourth meeting Friday, is
engaged in the spade work of pre-
pairing an agenda of military mat

REAL CONCESSIONS TO U. S. MADE AT
 MOSCOW, REPORT

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 2.-Neith- CT Rumania nor Bulgaria has a broadly representative government in the Yalta sense,' Mark Ethridge, Louisville publisher said in his first public utterance on his recent fact finding trip to the Balkans as an emissary of President Truman.
 Speaking last night at the an- nual New Years meeting of the Louisville Board of Trade, Ethridge said, Tn spite of the fact that Rus sia has sometimes acted like an imperial power since the end of the war, I believe she does earnestly want an organization for interna- tional security"
 Also with regard to Russia, Eth ridge said, Tn spite of the fact that the Russian government disagreed with my conclusions, I must say in all fairness that it made great con- sessions to the American viewpoint at Moscow.
