Abstract: A study of the evolution of the jurisaiction ana administration of the remote Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands frooi its inception to the present. The roles of the Department of the Interior and the Navy in the area of Micronesia since World War II are considered alone; with the development of policy responses to the ex- Japanese iiandated Islands. In viev of the ever- increasing criticism in the United nations about United States stewardship in the Trust Territory, much discussion is devoted to this vexing problem. The overall record of progress toward the goal of self- government for the inhabitants of the Trust Territory is evaluated and comment made about the prospects for the future. Hew developments which portend substantial changes in the administration of the Islands are considered in some detail. Finally, a summary analysis indicates some of the courses of action which may be taken to improve both the position of the islanders and the Administering Authority, the United States.
