which involved little risk or loss ii

Government securities. But, he
added, since the war there has been
an expansion of loans of the riskier
type while the amount of Govern

Zig -Four Delegates
Toll 10 Beat DeadIine
On Italian Colonies
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Sept. 13.-Delegates of
the Big Four assembled here
today for one last try at deciding
the future of Italy's prewar col
onies. If they fail, in the three
days allotted them, the problem
falls to the United Nations for
solution.
Almost every one concerned is
pessimistic.
Officially, it is called a meeting
of the foreign ministers Of the four
great powers-Britain, France, Rus
s;a and the United States. Actually,
ONLY one foreign minister, Robert
Schuman of France, is here.
Deadline Is September Is.
Britain is represented by Minister
of State Hector Mcneil, Russia by
Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky and the United States by
Lewis w. Douglas, Ambassador to
London.
The problem of what to do about
1taly's African empire has remained
unsolved since the war The deputy
foreign ministers of the Big -Four
tossed it around for a year but
failed to come up with any agree
ment on the future status of Erit-
rea.. Libia and Somahland.
BY the terms of the italian peace
treaty, the deadline for Big Four
agreement is September IS. After
that it goes to the United Nations
Assembly, which convenes here
September 81. There is no veto in
the Assembly and Italy has made
no bones about wanting to have
the colonial issue settled there.
Trusteeship Recommended.
An investigating commission
which went to Africa recommended
a trusteeship for the three colonies.
There has been no agreement on
what kind Of trusteeship.
The positions of the four powers
never have been made known OFF,
cially, but unofficially they were
reported to be lined up about like
this:
France and Russia suggested an
italian trusteeship, with France
putting in a bid for the Fezzan,
one of three Libian provinces. The
United States proposed a United
Nations guardianship. Britain held
out for freeing Cirenaica, the Libian
province next to Egypt, and for
linging French, British and Italian

"Yet we need to understand the
unmarried father because OF his
needed influence on the child. 1t is
true in all cases that every child
needs two parents. We also need
the father for his support of the
child"
Miss Justiss was interviewed on
the Americans All" program by
DR.. Tomlinson d. Todd, president OF
the Institute on Race Relations, and
director of the program.
The speaker said that in the war
year of 1914 36.252 illegitimate births
were recorded among white parents
and 50.749 among nonwhite, in
cluding Negro, Indian and Orientais.
She blamed the high Negro rate
on influences which have persisted
since slavery days, the influx to the
cities of peasant" types from rural
districts, inability to buy marriage
licenses, crowded living conditions
in city slums and other reasons.
The speaker pointed out that this
wartime total compared with q

Yesterday that prices to farmers on
the 1948 crops of apples, peaches,
pears. grapes and dried prunes are
expected to average higher than

many years for Moslem Parkistan
free from Hindu India was crowned
with success in the division of the
subcontinent August Is, 1947. Mr..
Jinnah had been governor general
of the Moslem dominion since that
time.

expected an announcement from
London at any moment naming a
new governor general, who is the di-
rect representative of King George
VI in this portion of former British
India. Sir Ghulam Hussein Hiday-
atullah, Premier of Sind Province,
was mentioned as a possible sue
cessor to Mr.. Jinnah. Official sources
said Prime Minister Liaquat Ali
Kahn prefers to retain his present
post.
