Relations Won't Suffer,

LONDON, Oct 19.-The Yorkshire
Post, owned by Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden's father in-law, Ru-
pert Beckett. said yesterday in con-
menting on Criticism of Britain at
tributed to war front report by
five American Senators that Anglo
American relations are not likely TO
suffer at all seriously from them"
American politicians are accuS-
toned to debate world affairs with
one eye on the coming campaign"
the Yorkshire Post said editorially.
President Roosevelt is responsible
for lease-lend, he is a close friend
of Mr.. Churchill and he is a whole
hearted advocate of Anglo -Ameri-
can cooperation now and in the
future.
When his political opponents
throw mud at Britain, their real
hope is that some of it will stick to
him. The President. himself a mas
ter politician, is we'll able to defend
himself against these familiar tao
tics"
The newspaper added that the
bond between the two countries lis
a bond which will not be shaken by
remarks of touring Senators who are
doubtless much shrewder in their
judgment of American politics than
in their grasp of great international
issues and the worldwide opera
tionS of the war"

have been reported in Alexandria
during the last four months, DR.. w.
A. Browne, city health officer,

during which no case is reported.
DIR. Browne expressed satisfaction
with the manner in which the re-
Gently strengthened city ordinance

About $500 persons who were
evacuated from the Hawaiian Is
lands shortly after Pearl Harbor
now are awaiting their turn to be
returned to the islands from various
cities of the West Coast, Secretary
Of the Navy Frank Knox said today.
A smaller number of persons on
the islands also would like to return
to this country, he said. The chance
that the transfer will occur soon is
unlikely, the Secretary intimated,
since shipping space is extremely
scarce now. Efforts will be made
to move these people as soon as
space is available, Mr.. Konx

Visits Of Oil Chiefs
Hint Expansion Of
Venezuelan Fields

CARACAS. Venezuela, Oct. 19.-
The presence here of a number of
American oil men and expected Wis
its of more gave rise today to belief
the United States was planning to
take more oil from Venezuela and
might be endeavoring to secure ad-
dit:onal oil land in this country.
Among those here now are Harry
Sinclair, head of the Sinclair inter-
ests; George Mcdonald, member Of
the same firm and prominent Miami
businessman; Clarence Stark of
Bartlesville, Okla. representative of
Phillips Petroleum; Leonard Henry
of Standard Oil of California; Henry
Phillips of New York, president OF
Consolidated Oil, and his geologist,
Hugh Russell of New York.
Scheduled to arrive tomorrow are
&c. H. Lieb, New York, president of
Creole Petroleum Corp; H. C. Weiss,
Houston, Tex, president of the
Humble Oil Refining Co.; Ralph w.
Gallagher, New York, president and
director, and Eugene Holman, direc-
tor, of Standard Oil of New Jersey.
Both Sinclair and Standard Oil
have investments in Venezuela.
through subsidiary companies Their
properties now are operated under
a new Venezuelan law covering oil
concessions.
Viewed in the light of recent sena-
torlal statements that United States
Oil reserves were being reduced seri-
ously in supplying Allied petroleum
requirements, the Venezuelan gath
erlng might result III increased use
OF oil from that nations wells.

saying it was justified to correct
gross inequities" and aid in the
effective prosecution of the war.
Mr.. Vinson turned it down in
June on the grounds that this par
ticular formula for adjustment
would violate the Little Steel
formula and run counter to the
administrations sterilization pro-
gram. In the months intervening
efforts have been made to work out
sliding scale increase, but with
out results, and on Saturday Mr..
Roosevelt appointed a special wage
board to sit in the case.
Board Bound BY Vinson.
The emergency board which pass
ed on the wage demands of the op-
Grating brotherhoods allowed a AZ
per cent increase as against 80 per
cent demanded, but clearly implied
that this small amount was recon-
mended only because the board felt
bound by the principles laid down
by Mr.. Vinson in the non-operating
case, and not because it was felt to
be adequate.
At one stage in the sliding scale
