MEMPHIS, Tenn, May l0.-A
Southern Committee of the League
for Industrial Democracy charged to-
day that lat least is per cent and
probably 20 per cent Of all share
cropper families have lost their op-
portunity to make a living on the
land by the only labor they know" "
as a result Of the Government cot
tom reduction program.
The report. made public In New
York yesterday, was amplified here
today by DR.. William r. ANDERSON. H.
Clay East and H. L. Mitchell Of Ty-
roma. Ark, members Of the commit
tee which made the survey Of 500
tenant families in Missouri. Arkansas,
Tennessee and Mississippi.
Evictions Charged.
The report charges the acreage re-
duction has created "a new unem-
ployment." 1t says that at the places
visited. 103 white families and 13 col
ored, who had crops in 1888. are
without them this year. The report

New York, he said
There Is at present" the report
says. "a strong movement toward the
abolition OF the share-cropping sys-
tenn, greatly accelerated by the
acreage reduction program. From all
directions we have received reports OF
large plantations abandoning share
tenants or share choppers, with the
substitution of day labor instead.
DAY labor at SO cents to 81 a day"
the report alleges, is lower stage OF
economic existence" since the worker
benefits neither from increased cotton
prices nor Government advances.
Government Control Asked.
The committee recommended that
the Government insist the former
share cropper" be allowed to resume
that status, and that the Government
assume direct control of its rented
acreage and use it to relieve the vic
tins" Of its program through sub
sistence and diversified farm produc-
ton. It asks that the Government
proclaim the right Of farm labor to
organize and bargain collectively.

Negotiations.

Europes paying the billions owed the
United States.
The London Press fatty said:
Roosevelt may as well know that
this country is paying no more war
debts
In his declaration. Mr.. Roosevelt en-
phaSiZed that the United States stands
for collection of the debts. but will
grant hearings to nations seeking re-
duced payments
The London Times remarked that
the British budget surplus has re-
vived all of the old facilities.
This newspaper asserted the real
difficulty is not one of payment, but
of transfer. Part of its argument was
that ANY endeavor to sell many
millions of sterling credits for dollar
credits-or even gold-would imme-
diately produce huge shift in sterling
dollar exchange, sending sterling down
and dollars up. The chief sufferer In
the United States.
THE difficulty is not that nations
in distress are not able to pay the
United States what they owe, but that
the traditional policy Of the United
States makes receipt of payment i'm
possible"
The Daily Telegraph said:
"The United States will not take
value in goods, and the perverse laws
of transfer forbid continued gold pay
ments without ruinous results to COM
modify prices which Roosevelt Is StriV-
ing to raise.
"The condition precedent to Just
settlement (of the debts) is not a
peremptory summons to a means test
tribunal, but a formal, friendly 1nvl-
tation to a conference of equals"
The general consensus both OF press
and public today was that President
Roosevelt's statement had not altered
the British stand that the American
Executive must make the first move
toward any solution of the war debts
problem.
