ERNEST BLENDT BUYS FARM
First in Kent County to Take Ad-
vantage of Farm Security Act


The first Farm Tenant Land
Purchase loan in the state of Della
ware will be made to Ernest B.
Blendt of Smyrna, Kent County, it
was announced today by Philip E.
Henderson, Regional Supervisor of
Rural Rehabilitation, Farm Secur-
ity Administration, United States
Department Of Agriculture. A
check for $4,000 will be presented
to Mr.. Blendt Friday, September 2,
in ceremonies which will be held at
the farm on which he is now a ten

come the owner. Details of the
ceremony, which will be conducted

al officials of the Farm Security

head-JoneS Farm Tenant Act. This

farm tenants to acquire their own
land. Mr.. Blendt is the third ten

provisions Of the Farm Tenant Act.
The announcement of the tenant

shortly upon the presentation Of
similar loans to one farmer in New
Jersey and one in Carmel, Maine.
Congress has authorized the FSA
to loan an additional 25,0O0,OO
for farm tenant loans during the
1889 fiscal year, which began
July 1st. This program is design
ed to meet the alarming increase
infarm tenancy in the United Stat
es, which is growing at the rate of
some 10000 new farm tenants an
nually. Secretary Of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace designated Kent
County in this state for the opera
ton of the Bankhead-Jones Farm
Tenant Act during the last fiscal
year and the Delaware appropria-
ton last year was S11, 800 for the
purchase of an estimated three
farms by recipients Of these loans.
This year, with the expansion of
the program, Secretary Wallace
also designated Sussex County for
the operation of the program. Del
aware's appropriation for farm
tenant loans this year is $29,O85,
for an estimated seven farms. Ma
chinery for the further develop
ment of the program in the state
Is being set up. The Kent County
Farm Security Advisory Commit
tee, appointed by Secretary of Ag-
riculture Henry A. Wallace last
March consists of the following
members: John @. Tarburton,
Chairman, John NJ. Roe, and Har-
mon E. Coverdale, all Of Dover

Won't Accept PAY Cut

Nv HILE congress and various
w government agencies were try
ing to find a way to save hard
pressed railways from bankruptcy,
the Association of American Rail-
roads, represented by President
John j. Pelley, and railway labor,
represented by George M. Harrison,
president Of the Railway Labor Ex-
ecutives' association, conferred in
vain over the desire Of the manag-
ers to reduce the pay of the workers.
The latter rejected the idea with
scorn, and defied a threat by man.
agement representatives that rail-
roads will invoke the railroad medi-
alton act to enforce consideration
of pay cuts.
"Wage cuts are out of the ques-
tion," Harrison said. 81 never heard
of such silly thing in my life. Man.

Roosevelt is pouring out an billion

the recovery funds to assure con-
gressional control over them.
Opponents of the pump printing
led off with vigorous radio adj
dresses by Chairman John Hamilton
of the Republican national commit
tee and Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan. Hamilton came to the
conclusion that ''the President and
the New Deal are far more interest
ed in printing the polls than in prim-
ing the pumps of industry" Vanden-
berg said the plan, whatever its
temporary benefit, would work a
"long run disaster
The printing plan, Vandenberg
said, means trying to spend the
country into better times on bor-
rowed money, trying to buy pros
perity.
In his message to congress and in
a radio talk to the nation, the Presi-
dent proposed three groups of meas
ures. The first involves mainly adj
ditional appropriations for the COM
ing fiscal year, as follows:
One billion two hundred and fifty
million dollars for the Works Prog
ress administration; SITE, 1000, 900 for
the Farm Security administration;
SIS, 100000 for the National Youth
administration; 100000 for the
Civilian Conservation corps, and the
ST 500, 1000, 900 already made avail
able to the Reconstruction Corpora
ton for lending to business enter
prises.
In a second group of measures
Mr.. Roosevelt asked:
Three hundred million dollars for
immediate expansion of the housing
and slum-clearance work of the
United States Housing authority;
81 ,450, 0O0, 900 for public works loans
and grants; an additional 500, 1000
900 for public roads; an additional
$37, 100000 for flood control and re-
clamation projects already autho-
rized and an additional $25, 1000, 900
for federal buildings.
A third group listed by the Chief
Executive referred to private cred
it. It involved liberalization of
81 ,400, 000, 1000 of gold and reduc-
ton by the Federal Reserve board
of member bank reserve require
ments which would add another
$3.50, 900, 900 to the credit resources
of the nations banks. With these
actions Mr.. Roosevelt coupled a
simplification of Security commits
sion regulations.

Move Toward Peace

NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN'S
~ dream of security for peace in
Europe through amicable arrange
ments of the democratic govern
ments with the dictators may yet
be realized. Anyhow, consumma-
ton of the ideal was brought nearer
when Lord Perth, British ambassa-
dor to Rome, and Italian Foreign
Minister Ciano signed the treaty OF
friendship which had been under
negotiation for weeks. The pact is
designed to end the long feud be-
tween the two nations, and it is
probable France will join in after
negotiations with Mussolini already
suggested by Foreign Minister Bon
net. The British prime minister,
of course, hopes that later Hitler
can be brought into the group and
that there will be formed London
Paris-Rome-Berlin quadrangle in
place of the Berlin-Rome axis.
Temporarily, the treaty provides
for friendly relations between
Britain and Italy in the Mediter-
ranean and the Near East, but it
does not go into full effect until
'such date as the two governments
together shall determine" In other
words, Italy must first have with
drawn its troops from Spain and
Britain must have recognized Italy's
conquest of Ethiopia. The former
may be delayed until France has
won final victory. The latter de-
ponds upon permission from the
League of Nations council, which
has been asked by Chamberlain.
In essence, the treaty is prom
Use by each side not to attempt to
change the status quo in the Medi-
terranean or Red sea areas nor to
injure each others interests there
in any way.
Italy is to reduce her forces In
Libya to peace time strength, and
will adhere to the London naval
treaty limiting the size of warships.
The Suez canal is to be open to all
nations equally IN war or peace.
Italy will abide by the international
nonintervention committees ruling
on volunteers in the Spanish war
and in case to withdraw from Spain
entirely when the war is ended.
Italy declares it has no territorial
or political aims and seeks no
privileged economic position in
Spain, the Balearic islands, Spanish
Morocco or Spanish possessions
overseas.
Political leaders in Berlin did not
minimize the importance of the
Anglo-Italian pact, but insisted that
the Berlin-Rome axis was not weak
ened. They were awaiting some
what anxiously the visit of Premier
Daladier and Foreign Minister Bon
net to London, scheduled for late in
April. There were no indications
in London or Paris that Britain
and France were ready yet to deal
with Hitler. But it was rumored
that Poland might join them and
Italy in a four-power pact.
