 The speech by Senator Moses wa. filled with caustic shots at his Repub- 1 ncan colleagues.

 The session produced a continuous fusillade on the measure from the Democrats, starting with Senator Reed, Missouri. who attacked Demo- cratic supporters, and including speeches by Senators Thomas, Colo rado, and Walsh of Montana.
 Senator McCumber, Republican North Dakota, a leading proponent. declared that MT. Moses was perfect ly willing to stack protection upon pro lection for his New England folk but was unwilling to share the benefits } with the farmers feeding the world " T am tired of such discrimination ' he shouted.
