U. 5. Hoping 10 Win
i. n. Endorsement Of
1rusteeship Today
By The Assoeiaied Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. Mar. IL.
The United States hoped to
win final Endorsement of the
United Nations Security Council
today on it's far-hung Pacific sea
frontier defense plan based in
Japanese-mandated islands now
under American military occu-
patton. ...
The only remaining obstacles to
ratification of American trusteeship
over the Marshall, Caroline and
Marianas chains were minor modi-
fications offered by Russia and Brit
ain as the Council was called into
session for resumption of debate at
3 pm.
Australia was, not completely sat
isfied that the interests of all the
Pacific countries had been taken
into account, but was not expected
to offer any serious objections.
Compromise on Two Details.
The American delegation, after
compromising with Russia on two
minor details, stood firm against a
third Soviet amendment intended
to give the Security Council alone
the power to change or terminate
the trusteeship agreement.
The United States took the posi-
ton that as sole trustee for the U
N, it would, in effect, act as an equal
party in treaty relationship with
the world organization and could
not be compelled to yield unilateral
rights to the U. N.
In ahy case, since strategic areas
are within the province of the Sc
curity Council, any effort to amend
the American status in the islands
could be vetoed by the United States
If it ever came to showdown.
However, since Russia took the
initiative recently to espouse the
American proposals, the whole tone
of debate on this subject has been
moderate and conciliatory.
Russia, in subscribing to the
American proposals, has had the
effect of quieting British and Aus
tralian protests that the matter
should be deferred until after the
japanese peace treaties are signed.
Administration to Continue.
The American retort to the British
and Australians, while not exactly
on takeit-or -leave-it basis, point
ed out that the United States would
continue to administer the islands
as the occupying power regardless
OF any U. N. action or lack of action.
Britain now has taken the posi-
ton that the trusteeship agreement
drafted by the United States should
be amended only to bring its terms
in line with U. N. charter provisions:
Cd The United States should be re-
quired to give notice when an area
is closed for security reasons, and
ca all members of the U. N. should
share in commercial rights, which
are almost nom existent in the
islands lntrusted to Japan by the
League of Nations and won by
American forces progressing across
the Pacific in the recent war.

President said that the free people

"If we falter in our leadership

Ambassador Novikov is scheduled
to leave New York at 1O:15 am.
tomorrow On a Scandinavian Air
lines plane for Copenhagen, en- route
to Moscow, the airline said in New
York.
Word of his impending depart
ure came with dramatic sud-
|denness. A note from the Russian
Embassy simply advised the State
Department that Mr.. Novikov will
leave tomorrow and that Charge
d'Affaires S. K. Tsarapkin will be in
charge during his absence.
Tsarapkin Is New Arrival.
Mr.. Tsarapkin, who will function
as charge d'affaires in Mr.. Novikov' s
absence, arrived here as No. 2 man
in the Soviet Embassy only about
two weeks ago. He was a delegate to
the San Francisco Conference for
organization of the United Nations
and has functioned as chief of the
American section of the Soviet For
eign Office.
Even before Mr.. Truman's ap-
peaTance today, many lawmakers,
anticipating proposals such as the
President outlined, declared the
implications of such program were
plain.
The implications of such a pro-
gram were plain.
1t would mean a departure from
traditional United States policy of
nonintervention during peacetime in
the internal affairs of a foreign
country, aside from relief aid and
insistence on free elections.
1t would establish precedent
for similar action elsewhere in the
troubled World-a point which men,
bers of Congress have been quick
to note in considering the posi-
bility of even further British re-
trenchments.
1t could force a determination
perhaps by the United States alone,
perhaps by the western powers act
ing collectively-on where to con-
centrate their efforts within the lin
itations of resources.
1t seemed sure to provoke a bitter
debate within the United Nations
over an American decision to act
independently.
And it appeared inevitable that,
in coming weeks, the move will pre-
cipitate historic congressional de-
bate and decisions which will af-
feet directly the Nations economy
at home as well as its fortunes
abroad.

the United Nations and its related
organizations are not in a position
to extend help of the kind that is
required.
It is important to note that the
Greek government has asked for our
aid in utilizing effectively the flnan-
ciaI and other assistance we may
give to Greece. and in improving its
public administration. 1t is of the
utmost Importance that we super
wise the use of any funds made
available to Greece, in such man
ner that each dollar spent will count
toward making Greece self-support-
ing, and win help to build an econ
omy in which healthy democracy
can flourish.
No government is perfect. One of
the chief virtues of a democracy,
however, is that its defects are al
ways visible and under democratic
processes can be 9pointed out and
corrected. The government of Greece
is not perfect. Nevertheless, it rep
reSents IS per cent of the members
of the Greek Parliament, who were
chosen in an election last year. For
eign observers, including 692 Amer
leans, considered this election to be
a fair expression of the views of the
Greek people.
The Greek government has been
operating in an atmosphere of chaos
and extremism. 1t has made mis-
takes. The extension of aid by this
country does not mean that the
United States condones everything
that the Greek government has done
or will do. We have condemned in
the past, and we condemn now, ex-
tremist measures of the right or the
left. We have in the past advised
tolerance, and we advise tolerance
now.
Greece's neighbor, Turkey. also
deserves our attention.
The future of Turkey as an inde-
pendent and economically sound
state is clearly no less important to
the freedom-loving peoples of the
world than the future of Greece.
The circumstances in which Turkey
finds itself today are considerably
different from those of Greece.
Turkey has been spared the disasters
that have beset Greece. And during
the war, the United States and
Great Britain furnished Turkey
with material aid.
Turkey Needs Support.
Nevertheless, Turkey now needs
our support.
Since the war, Turkey has sought
financial assistance from Great Brit

Roxas Calls on Fi|ipinos
To Face Dynamic Future
BY the Associated Press

MANILA, Mar. IL. - President
Manuel A. Roxas called on Phili-
pinos today to unite for a dynamic
future" of the new Philippine re-
public, in which equal economic
rights for Americans is now a part
of constitutional law.
Late returns from the outlying
provinces in yesterdays national
plebiscite on parity for American
capital showed the proposition had
carried by margins ranging from
4 to up to to l over the repub-
lie. In the Presidents home town
of Capiz the margin was 80 to /.
In Manila, the latest count was
$4,000 in favor of parity and 1900
opposed.
Brig. Gen. Carlos Romulo, Fill
pino soldier statesman, issued a
statement saying thef vote had af-
firmed three basic facts: IL The
faith of the Filipino people in the
United States, t2) the leadership
of President Roxas and t3) the

fuel and seeds. These are indispen-
sable for the subsistence of its people
and are obtainable only from abroad.
Greece must have help to import the
goods necessary to restore internal
order and security so essential for
economic and political recovery.
The Greek government has also
asked for the assistance of expert
enced American administrators,
economists and tecfinicians to insure
that the financial and other aid
given to Greece shall be used ef-
fectively in creating a stable and
Iself-sustaining economy and in i'm
proving its public administration.
Existence Threatened.
The very existence of the Greek
state is today threatened by the ter
rorist activities Of several thousand
armed men, led by Communists, who
defy the governments authority at
number of points, particularly
along the northern boundaries. "A
commission appointed by the United
Nations Security Council is at pres
ent investigating disturbed condi-
tions in Northern Greece and alleged
border. violations along the frontier
between Greece on the one hand,
and Albania, Bulgaria and Yugo-
slavia on the other.
Meanwhile, the Greek government
is unable to cope with the situation.
The Greek Army is small and poorly
equipped. 1t needs supplies and
equipment if it is to restore the au-
thority of the government through
out Greek territory.
Greece must have assistance if it
is to become a self-supporting and
self-respecting democracy.
The United States must supply
that assistance. We have already
extended to Greece certain types of
relief and economic aid, but these
are inadequate.
There is no other country to which
democratic Greece can turn.
No other nation is willing and able
to provide the necessary support for
a democratic Greek government. .
The British government, which
has been helping Greece, can give
no further financial or economic aid
after March 81. Great Britain finds
itself under the necessity of reduc-
ing or liquidating its commitments
in several parts of the world, includ-
ing Greece.
Situation Urgent.
We have considered how the
United Nations might assist in this
crisis. But the situation is an urgent
one, requiring immediate action, and

Turks Say U. 5. Aid
lis Needed for Army
By the Assoeiofed Press

ISTANBUL, Turkey. Mar. H.
Qualified informants here say Tur-
key must have American financial
aid if she is to keep her army of
nearly 100000 men fully modified
as a barrier against possible Russian
encroac achments.
Turkey has been on full mobi-
lization status for seven years and
more than 60 per cent of her total
national income goes toward main
tenance of the army-most of which
stands guard along the Turkish
Russian border east of the Black
Sea and on the Turkish Bulgarian
frontier.
The Turks say the cost of keeping
so many men under arms is so heavy
and such a drain on the nation S
fiscal resources that her whole eco
nomic structure is in jeopardy. Even
so, the Russian Army admittedly is
not well equipped.
"A weak Turkey could only invite
trouble" one government spokes-
man commented to newsmen last
night. ut would be more farsighted
and much less costly in the long run
10 help her today than have to try
to rescue her on some later day."
Other Turks say the drain on their
finances by the army has caused
them to abandon all plans for de-
velopment of industries which the
nation must have if she is to de-
velop a '"decent economic order"
The building of highways, railroads,
hospitals and schools also has been
neglected and insufficient revenue
has barred needed health plan.
The Turks maintain that they are
the only neighbor Russia has that
has consistently and emphatically
resisted all Soviet pressure which
they felt tended toward expansion.

Happy Behind Prison Bars

DAUL and Silas are pictured as
l happy in that dark dungeon.
There is a statement to challenge
every cynic, every doubling Thom-
as. Only the grace of God can make
men happy under persecution. Paul
declares in Romans 1:16, II am
not ashamed of the Gospel" Aye,
he was not ashamed to preach the
Gospel to the little damsel on the
streets of Jerusalem, nor was he
ashamed to go to the prison for the
sake of the Gospel.
Best of all, Paul and Silas were
sustained in their sOrrOwful plight
by the consciousness that God
was with them-that he always
keeps his word.
venture the prediction that the
fortitude of Paul and Silas in that
night of persecution did more to i'm
press the Christian religion upon
Jerusalem than any sermon even
the eloquent Paul ever uttered. We,
too. can witness for Christ as we
face difficult situations.

Courageous Loyalty

T OOK now at Revelation 2:8-11,
~ and 3:14-22, for the example Of
the church at Smyrna, burdened by
tribulation and poverty, but ''rich"
in the promise that crown Of life
awaited them.
1t was far more difficult to be q
Christian in the first century than
it is in the twentieth century. By
which mean that the early
Christians were few in number
and without any backing of public
opinion. They were despised as
the lowly followers of the cruci-
fed carpenter of Nazareth. Today,
Christians are acknowledged as
the best citizens in every COM
munity.
Even so, there are tests for us
tests that will be too much for hu-
man courage and loyalty. If we are
true to the teachings of Jesus as
they relate to everyday life, we
shall need that same enduement
which the Christians at Smyrna
possessed, else our discipleship will
shame the name of our Lord.

The Blood Of the Lamb

THE lesson concludes with that

7:9-17, in which we behold the
great white-robed throng about the
throne of God, singing, blessing
and glory and wisdom and thanks
giving and honor and power and
might be unto our God forever and
ever. Amen"
Who were they? "These are
they which came out Of great trib-
ulation, and have washed their
robes and made them white in the
blood Of the Lamb"
Loyalty under persecution is de-
pendent absolutely upon the life
giving power of the blood of the
Lamb.

How a Song Helped
OHUMBLE yourselves therefore
IA under the mighty hand Of
God, that he may exalt you in due
time; casting all your care upon
him, for he careth for you," / Peter
Sc, Z. That is a splendid watch
word for every boy and girl.
Now, turn to Acts 16:16-SO, and
see how Paul and Silas, locked in
the inner dungeon at midnight,
could pray and sing. That is what
happens to the Christian who sim
cerely trusts in God-who acts on
the promise that God really cares
for his trusting children.
A memory verse suggested for
Sunday is found in Proverbs 1892,
and it goes like this: "A cheerful
heart is good medicine"
Have you watched some Christian
in aff1iction-how he or she could
bless every passerby? 1t was be-
