Secret j. S.-british
Treaty on Pacific
Islands Charged
Alliance Is Military
As Well os Political,
Tinkhom Declares

Representative Tinkham, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts, charged to-
day there existed a secret alliance
with Great Britain over control Of
two Pacific islands, constituting mot
only political alliance but what is
more. military alliance"
He said in statement this coun-
try secretly negotiated a treaty with
Great Britain "of far-reaching and
dangerous consequences" over con-
troll of Canton and Enderbury
Islands of the Phoenix group, located
about 1912 miles southwest of
Hawaii and some 1916 miles south
east of Japanese inundated islands.
Asserting that the State Depart
ment had refused to disclose corre-
spondence with Great Britain over
the islands, Mr.. Tinkham declared
the agreement for joint control Of
the two tiny specks, which may be
valuable for trans-Pacific flights, is
to endure for so years.
Says U. S. Seized Islands.
"The facts evidence that President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State
Hull have been guilty of collusive
action in entering into this alliance
with Great Britain and
that secret diplomacy has domi-
mated the situation from start to
f1nish," he said.
Great Britain took formal pos
session of the islands in March, 1887,
said Mr.. Tinkham, and a year later,
after our State Department had
had secret correspondence with
Great Britain" this country seized
the islands.
1T is manifestly absurd" he as
serted, "in view of Secretary Hull's
repeatedly declared policy Of 'paral-
lei action with Great Britain to
suppose that the United States
seized these islands claimed by
Great Britain, which act in itself
was an act of war, without previous
understanding with Great Britain" ;"

If an enemy of Great Britain
should attack these islands, he
added, "the United States, having

NEW YORK, Feb. s19.-Stocks
showed rallying tendencies in an
irregular market today.
Early selloffs in selected issues
were balanced throughout the ses-

pretty well leveled off by buying

Lending a modicum of stability to
the market outlook was the estimate

Market analysts argued the figure
indicated a check, for the moment
at least, in the ratio of the recently
declining rate of industrial produce

Grain
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Wheat prices
rallied to erase early losses today,
but then reacted again to an un-
settled close, with May contracts
depressed by increased liquidation
of grain held under Government
loans.
Nervous fluctuations were spread
over range of almost 2 cents
and at times July and September
contracts showed net gains Of q
full cent due to scattered short"
covering and purchases credited to
mills. Marketing of loan wheat,
which was believed to be the largest
of the season in some localities and
selling based on more moisture over
the grain belt, accounted for most
OF the pressure on prices.

Sixty Farm HOmemakers in
State Keep Home Account
Book for Better Planning
TAKES ONLY 10 MINUTES

Sixty Delaware farm homemak-
ers are proving to their families
that keeping a home account book
need not be bugbear Miss Louise
Whitcomb, home management
specialist for the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service, describ-
es how one of these homemakers
manages her account keeping. "Af-
ter doing the supper dishes, there
is usually a lull in the days activ-
tiles, so the homemaker goes to a
convenient kitchen drawer where
she keeps her green Farm Family
Account Book, now familiar to
many homes over the State In
the book she finds several columns
marked food, household operation,
automobile, clothing, personal,
house furnishings, recreation, med
ical care and welfare.
After she has put down all her
purchases for the day, she asks
members of the family about pur-
chases they have made. Here lies
the secret of her successful account
keeping. This homemaker has
Smyrna times., 1940-11-28

gained family cooperation and is
cheerfully given information on the
family purchases. To get all this
into the account book takes the
homemaker from eight to 10 min
utes. Tomorrow night she will re-
peat the same procedure. She has
learned by experience that it Is
easier to keep up with the expend-
itures every day than to try TO
think back where the money was
spent"
Miss Whitcomb maintains that if
one homemaker can so successfully
and easily keep an account book
others can do the same. The fam
lily can tell how much money is 90
ing into each type of family ex-
pense and whether the money is
being divided reasonably. When
adjustments have to be made. the
whole family can plan accordingly.
Farm Family Account Books are
available to Delaware homemak-
ers for 20 cents each and NAV be
obtained by writing to Miss Louise
