LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Oct l9- Definite promises of trusteeshir agreements from Great Britain and Australia today virtually assured creation of the important United Nations trusteeship council at the coming session of the general assembly.
 These, together with agreements already submitted by France, would provide the necessary number Of trust territories required for es- tablishment of the council, only major organ of the U N. not yet in operation.
 The only factor which might de- lay creation of the council IS the possibility that the assembly might fail to approve the trusteeship agreements, which outline terms un- der which the trust territories would be administered

A Modest Representative

Listeners to Rep. J. Bayard Clarks
radio address, especially those who
know his services to this congressional
district, could not fail to be impressed
by his modesty. 1t had been his privilege
to give the splendid leaders of your
community" some assistance in the de-
velopment of the port, the schools and
postal facilities, and other things
(which have contributed in some meas
ure to the fine progress and develop
ment that is presently yours"
He might have said with just and
perdonable pride that but for his SER
vices the appropriation for widening
aid deepening the Cape Fear channel
upon which the success of the port
depends, and which had been blue pen
CT ed by the Budget Bureau, would not
have been restored; that expansion of
the school system to meet the need of
the great population influx accompany
ing creation of the shipyard and Camp
Davis is largely traceable to his work
for necessary federal aid; that the peo-
pie have him to thank for placing the
post office in q position to move the
heavier volume of mail matter incident
to the war-tripled population.
Nor have Wilmington and New Han
over county alone benefited through
his activities in the House of Represent
tatives. No community in the district
but has reason to be grateful that he
was its steward in Congress.
With the nations affairs in such a
troubled state it is important to retain
In Congress the men who have a record
of long and creditable service, because

the great problems for which a solu-
ton must be found, and because they

own districts. Mr.. Clark's seventeen
years in the House are of inestimable
value to this district.

Soviet duel is not altogether hid

canoe has not been appreciated al
all in Washington.
y y
There is an important reason
why the American government i;
b~asically misinformed, why it has
lost touch with the realities. 1t is
that the Americans abroad are
not dealing at first hand with the
main elements of the German sit

of occupation the United States
got that part of Germany where
nothing that really matters is
happening, or can be made to
happen. Our people r ~conscien-

and in General Clay they have a
chief who in character, bearing,
and competence represents the
very best of the American tradi-

and determining its destiny, the
Americans are not in the drivers
seat. They are passengers and
back-seat drivers.
President Roosevelt must have
guessed that this would happen il

THE GERMAN DRAMA

The European reaction to his
disarmament treaty should be
enough to convince Mr.. Byrnes
that his advisers have not SUP
piled him with a true picture of
the German situation. The pro-
posal was still a top secret when l
left Paris a week ago Monday;
! when I read the text in the New
York newspapers the next morn
ing, I would have bet right then and
there that the Russians would be
rude and angry and that the Brit
ish would brush it off with frigid
politeness. For the proposal, which
would have been well received in
1914, is based or a radical mis-
understanding of what is happen
ing in Germany. 1t takes no
account Of, and indeed runs afoul
of, the evolution of Soviet and
British policy. That is why it has
met such a rebuff.
The proposal assumes, quite
mistakenly, that the paramount
objective of our two Allies is to
keep Germany disarmed. In fact,
they are maneuvering for position
in anticipation of a war which
they regard not necessarily as in
evitable but as probable. In such
a war Germany would be not only
a battlefield. The Germans would
play an enormous part. Though
battered, the Germans are still by
all odds the strongest nation in
Europe: a duel is in progress be-
tween London and Moscow for the
control of the German population,
and its high military potential.
The grim reality of this Anglo
