TRUSTEE OR OWNERSHIP
OF ISLANDS DEBATED
WASHINGTON. — "We cannot
have prosperity in the United States
if the rest of the world is sunk in
depression and poverty,” said State
Secretary Stettinius to the Chicago
council on foreign relations. He ad-
vocated among other things an
American trusteeship for Pacific is-
lands.
The very same night and at al-
most the same hour in New York,
the Carnegie peace endowment din-
ner heard Admiral King and other
influential speakers say (quoting
precisely from news accounts):
"World security depends upon
American security and world
prosperity depends upon Ameri-
can prosperity."
He advocated that we keep bases
In the Pacific, in line with making
our own security first.
This direct conflict of viewpoint
was advertised as a cleavage in the
"cabinet" between the navy-war de-
partments and state, but behind it
was the new movement running
through the whole government for a
change of front.
Altruism is facing a gradually
opening opposition. The theory that
if we first save others we may save
•urselves is hitting up against the
doctrine that if we first save our-
selves we can keep others safe.
Bases Back to Allies.
This new theory (particularly on
the point of bases) first developed
in the services many months ago.
The men who went into those is-
lands in the Pacific have seen Brit-
ish, French and Australian admin-
istrators move in to take civilian
control as soon as the firing ceased,
or in some cases the civilian admin-
istrators actually went'in with the
troops and exercised civilian control.
Airports our men conquered, and
so vital to the future security of the
world, became the civil property of
those nations which owned them be-
for the war.
A check of the islands in the far
Pacific under army control shows
none outside the Philippines definite-
ly established as postwar bases for
us. We still have use of them for
military operations, but the prop-
erty of our Allies remains theirs.
They have given us nothing. These
islands are of little value econom-
ically, so there is no particular rea-
son why any nation should covet
them, except as bases.
New Guinea has officially been
placed under Australian and
Dutch administrators. Bougain-
ville has been taken over by the
Australians (who incidentally
murmured in the press against
doing it on the ground that the
Japs held it so long they had
created civilian difficulties.)
In the navy area of the central
Pacific, the British administration is
supposed to have gone back in most
places but the navy refuses strange-
ly enough to give out the facts of
the situation, saying: "We cannot
speak for the British." (Whatever
that means.)
Mandates Embarrassing.
The service people who have
fought through these campaigns
know these situations. Although they
are not generally known or observed
by our public, from such begin-
nings, 1 think, has sprung the posi-
tion which Admiral King is now
openly pressing.
If a vote were taken upon Stet-
tinius or King in the senate to-
day, King would win overwhelm-
ingly, at least upon the single
issue of whether we should own
those bases which are essential
to our postwar cause of a
peaceful world. A superficial
canvass shows little sympathy
for mandates or "trusteeships,”
which might prove insecure or
embarrassing.
Even Foreign Relations Chairman
Connally, an administration man,
thinks we should have New Caledonia
which was French. However, he has
not gone so far yet as to permit
hearings for the McKellar resolution
which would take practically all the
islands we are conquering, includ-
ing the Japs.
Average senate opinion strikes
firmly to the line that we should
have as many bases as we need for
our own security and thus for world
security. Also as all these nations
—all our friends—owe us more
money than they can repay in cash
or goods, it appears a bargain for
bases might not be out of line.
Thus a more enlightened and prac-
tical future-visioning theory of world
peace is fast gaining ground.
• • •
Mr. Morgenthau has done a supe-
rior job of propagandizing congress
on the new world bank and fund.
Some lobbyists, objective in this
matter, appraise it as the best
ever. They say he got the advertis-
ing geniuses of the country to coun-
sel him on the side.
Thus his Bretton Woods financial
agreements have virtually become
patriotically blessed and politically
sacrosanct. Anyone who is against
them is against peace. Anyone who
wants to smend them is probsbly
a Fascist or st lesst a banker.

Tomato Growing
Important Project
4n Victory Garden
DY ALL odds the tomato is the
universal favorite of home Vic-
tory gardeners because they will
grow ’most anywhere, are produc-
tive, a pleasure to grow and to eat.
And they are rich in vitamin con-
tent.
In full sun, on any reasonably good
soil with a medium to good supply
of moisture, tomatoes can be grown
at some season in
every state of the
Union.
Tomatoes do not
like shade and they
do not like too much
nitrogenous fertili-
er. With these con-
ditions, the plants
often grow very
rank, but the blos-
instead of forming
fruit.
If good tomato plants sre avail-
able for transplanting from dealers,
the small gardener should purchase
them rather than grow the few
needed in the average small gar-
den. They are not difficult to pro-
duce, however.
Good plants about eight inches
tall that are well grown are
desirable for transplanting.
Transplanting should not take
place before the frost-free date
in your community.
If barnyard manure is applied to
the garden where tomatoes are to
be grown, it should be supplemented
with four to five pounds of super-
phosphate for each 100 pounds of
manure. Twice that amount should
be added to sheep or poultry ma-
nure. It is generally unwise to work
manure into the holes into which
tomato plants are to be set, but a
handful of commercial fertilizer
should be well mixed with the equiv-
alent of a bucketful of soil where
each plant is to be set.
In most gardens it is desirable to
prune the plants to a single stem
or to two stems and tie them to
stakes. The stake should be about
eight feet long, driven into the soil
about two feet and at least 1H inches
in diameter. As the plant develops,
side shoots or branches appear at
the points where the large leaves
are joined to the main stem. These
shoots are easily broken out, thus re-
stricting the plant to a single stem.
When growth is rapid it is neces-
sary to go over the plants every two
or three days to remove the new
side-shoots as they arise. Care must
be taken that the growing tip of the
main stem is not inadvertently
pinched out.
A paper collar around young to-
mato plant protects it from cut-
worms.
In staking up the plants, strips of
rag are best, but soft twine may be
used. The string must be tied firmly
about the stake first, so that it will
not slip, and then passed loosely
around the stem, not far below a
large leaf, and then tied again.
Do not draw the stem too tightly
against the stake.
In setting out tomato plants it will
be helpful if a heavy paper or light
cardboard collar be placed around
the stem to protect it from cut-
worms. The bottom of the collar
should extend about an inch below
the surface of the soil. A paper clip
is handy to hold the collar together.
An old post card will do nicely.
Ways to Grow
Tomato Plants
Growing of tomatoes calls for as
uniform moisture content in the
ground as possible. A long dry spell
or wide variations in soil moisture
content bring about damage by
blossom-end rot. You will note a
black or brown spot on the blossom
end of the fruit, and staked and
pruned plants seem to be more gen-
erally affected by this rot. On the
other hand, plants growing naturally
on the ground usually show more
rots of other kinds, caused by the
fruits lying on or too near the soil.
A light mulch of dried lawn clip-
pings, leaves or similar materials
beneath plants grown without sup-
ports will help keep the fruit off the
soil snd help avoid some of the loss
due to fruit rot.
Tomato plants for the garden may
be started indoors in quart berry
boxes, paper drinking cups, paper
bands or in regular clay flowerpots.
The containers are filled with sift-
ed soil and placed in the hotbed, or
if in the house they are placed in a
shallow box. A small amount oi
seed is sown in each container, and
after the plants are well under way
they are transferred to the garden,
the container usually removed from
about the roots of the plants wher
set in the planting plot or hole.
Care should be taken so as not to
disturb the roots of the young plants.

Simplicity Is the Keynote for Entertaining
(See Recipes Below)
Tricks for the Hostess
W cup sour milk or buttermilk
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon ginger
1 cup molasses
2’4 cups flour (about)
Cream lard, sugar and salt togeth-
er. Add sour milk in which soda
has been dis-
solved. Add gin-
ger and molasses
and enough flour
to make dough
that is not sticky.
Shape into small
balls and bake on
oiled pans at 375
degrees. While still hot, press
the flat sides together and roll in
maple-flavored icing, made with
confectioners’ sugar. Roll in finely
chopped nuts. It takes 10 to 12 min-
utes to bake cookie balls.
Oatmeal-Mincemeat Cookies.
(Makes 24 dozen cookies)
1*4 cups sifted flour

Sift together flour, baking soda and
salt. Cream the shortening, add
the brown sugar, then egg and beat
until light and fluffy. Last fold in
oatmeal, nutmeats and mincemeat,
blending well. Add flour mixture
and stir until all flour disappears.
Drop by spoonfuls onto greased
cookie sheet. Bake in a moderately
hot (375-dcgree) oven for 12 to 15
minutes.
As main dishes for luncheons or
suppers, I'm suggesting two fish
dishes which will be substantial
enough even if there are hearty ap-
petites present. They can both be
as pretty as a picture to please the
ladies:
Shrimp Curry in Riee Ring.
(Serves 6)
3 tablespoons butter or fat
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups shrimp, fresh, cooked,
cleaned
Milk
2 teaspoons curry powder
4 cups cooked rice
’4 cup dark corn syrup
Melt butter or fat; blend in floui.
Gradually add milk to flour mixture,
enough to make
about 2 cups
sauce. Cook, stir-
ring constantly
until thickened.
Place over hot
water, add
shrimp. Add cur-
ry which has been mixed with a
little water. Combine rice with dark
corn syrup and pack firmly in a
quart mold. Set in a pan of water
and bake in a moderate oven for 20
1 minutes. To serve, unmold rice ring
and fill center with shrimp mixture.
Salmon Loaf.
(Serves 4 to 6)
2 cups steamed salmon, flanked
14 cup bread crumbs
14 cup milk ‘
1 erg
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butler, melted
To flaked salmon, add other in-
gredients in order given. Grease loaf
pan and line with cut sweet pickle
slices. Pack salmon mixture into
this. Set in a shallow pan containing
water. Bake in a moderate oven
(375 degrees) about 1 hour or until
ioaf is firm. Unmold onto hot plat-
ter and garnish with parsley and
stuffed olives or pickle fan*

No smart woman need be in a
dilemma when it's time for her to
entertain. It takes
more than ration-
ing and food
shortages to do
that. Indeed, if
you don’t breathe
a word about how
difficult it was to
get it together, your friends will
think you are giving them a glimpse
of prewar entertaining.
You can stretch the precious meat
with a supporting cast of vegetables.
If you’re serving nonrationed eggs,
gild them with a bit of cheese and
no one will dream that you had to
do some fancy extending.
What about sugar? Well, there
are syrups, point-free prepared pud-
dings and molasses. No, there need
be no difficulties; dress up your
dishes and carry on.
Entertaining is fun, but that
means fun not only for the guests
but for the hostess. It’s all up to
you whether the party’s going to be
pleasant for you or not. Gather your
point-easy recipes, plan accordingly
and I'm sure it will all come out
all right.
Let's pretend your guests are
coming in for an evening of conver-
sation and a bit of food later on.
You'll want a good beverage or cool
drink and with that an unusual cake.
Here is one made to order for the
occasion:
•Prune Cake.
2 cups sifted cake flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
14 teaspoon soda
14 teaspoon salt
<2 teaspoon cinnamon
14 teaspoon each, ground cloves,
nutmeg, allspice
■3 cup lard
2 eggs
1 cup prunes, cooked without sugar
cup milk
Sift together all dry ingredients.
BItnd about ’.4 of the mixture with
the lard until soft and fluffy. Add
unbeaten eggs and beat light. Cut
prunes into small pieces and sprin-
kle with 2 tablespoons of the dry
mixture. Add remaining dry ingre-
dients to creamed mixture together
with '4 cup of the milk. Stir smooth.
Add remaining milk and prune mix-
ture and then pour into greased lay-
er pans. Bnke in a moderate (350-
degiee) oven until done. 25 to 30
minutes. This cake is good with a
mocha or lemon icing.
Delicately spiced cookies are good
to hare in the cookie box because
they're easy to fall back on when
the crowd comes in for refresh-
ments:
Manle Nut Balls.
’4 cup lard
’4 cup brown sugar
'4 teaspoon salt

slices of bologna from which
casings have been removed, Tnen
fill the cups with creamed
potatoes and onions or any oth-
er creamed vegetable.
When making hamburgers for
a crowd, wrap each individually
in waxed paper. The rounds may
be cut with a cookie cutter to
make them an even size.
When making scalloped pota-
toes, prepare a complete main
dish by placing slices of dried
beef in between the sliced pota-
toes.
Combine mashed sweet pota-
toes and cooked, crumbled pork
sausage meat in a casserole. A
topping of freshly sliced pears or
apples sprinkled with brown sugar
makes this a big favorite.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min-
utes.
