PEACE IN PACIFIC
BASIS OF AMERICAN AIMS PROGRESSIVE COLONIAL POLICY Rec. 10.30 p.m. NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Mr Francis B. Sayre, president ot the United Nations Trusteeship Council, said in a speech to-day that the United States foreign policy in the Pacific is based first on a *' forward looking and progressive colonial policy based on the well-being and advancement of local inhabitants,” and secondly, on “ a strong desire that non-self-governing territories in the Pacific should play their part in the maintenance of international peace and security.” Announcing this, Mr Sayre added: "The lesson of the war bit into our souls. After the war we determined
than never again should the Pacific isiands be permitted to serve as bases for aggression by militaristic nations in so far as they possessed potential value as military or naval bases. They must be utilised for the common defence of the United Nations, fighting for human rights and never for the aggression designs of any single State acting in its own interests.” /
