NEW MADRID, Mo-, Jan. a.
The forlorn army of ragged, shivver-
Ing sharecroppers. encamped along
the soggy rights of way of Highways
60 and 81, were ordered today to
move back into the houses they left
four days ago when their demon
stration to draw attention to their
economic plight was started.
The State highway patrol, acting
on orders Of the State Board of
Health, first notified about IS per-
sons camped near Charleston that
they must break up Immediately.
The rain-soaked group of demon
strators reluctantly started prepara-
tions for moving as two patrolmen
stood guard to see the orders were
carried out.
Called Health Menace.
DR.. Harry Parker, State health
commissioner, pronounced the situa-
ton "a serious menace to public
health" following a hurried inspec.
ton last night. He was accom-
panied on the inspection tour by Col.
B. Marvin Casteel, superintendent
Of the highway patrol. and Capt. A.
D. Sheppard, head Of the patrol in
this district.
Although the demonstrators have
offered no resistance to the orders to
move" Capt. Sheppard said, they
are not too hot over the idea"
Capt. Sheppard said it may re-
quire two or three days to clear the
highways Of the farm laborers.
State police were instructed to
remove the men, women and chill
dren, forcibly if necessary.
Expects No Trouble.
Col. Casteel said he expected no
trouble In carrying out the order.
They are going to move" he de-
clared. They can't stay here be-
cause of the possibility of an cpl
demic."
Land owners, Col. Casteel said,
have agreed to permit sharecrop-
pers who originally tenanted their
farms to return.
Those who could not prove they
were tenant farmers in this area
were to be taken to q government
building at Charleston and turned
over to county authorities.
Col. Casteel said reports indicated
large percentage of the demonstra-
tors were not actually sharecroppers,
but were cotton pickers from Ark
ansas, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Col, Casteel planned to have
trucks Of the State patrol move first
to camp near Charleston, the
largest Of 13 scattered along $50
miles of highway.
Choice Up to Sharecroppers.
The ~atr6l superintendent addee
he hoped word of the first camps
removal would spread quickly and
ts.at families ip the others would
leave Immediately.
Capt. Sheppard said the choice
would be UP to the sharecroppers.
IF they want to move, okay. If
they won't be moved, they can just
sit tight and we'll move them," he
asserted.
The sharecroppers, mostly Ne
groes, spent their fourth night in
the open air, stubbornly refusing to
bulge from the sites they have oc-
cupied since, they trekked to the
highways in protest against their
economic plight.
For the last two nights, snow,
rain and near-freezing temperatures
have added to the families suffer-
ing. Rations of food have been
meager. Crudely improvised shell
tiers have been their only protection
against wind and rain.

THE NEUTRALS:
Search for Security

From Scandinavia down through
the Balkans to Turkey, diplomats
scurried madly after an elusive
quantity called security. The rea-
son was Russia, whose grisly head
had been showed into eastern Eu-
rope the moment Adolf Hitler
opened the door. Although Moscow
shipped 171s tons of gold to Berlin
presumably Polish gold), and al
though German engineers were busy
supervising the Soviet's new five-
year plan, the happy wedding of
Communism and Naziism seemed to
have cost both principals a lot of
friends:
Balkans. Russian-Turkish talks in
Moscow broke down and Foreign
Minister Sukru Saracoglu left for
Istanbul, presumably refusing (D to
close the strategic Dardanelles to
all but Russian warships and thus
imperil the allies chances to aid
Rumania; (2) to permit Russo-Ger-
man domination of Balkan neutral
bloc; (3) to recognize the Polish
partition, and (4) to permit expan-
sion of Bulgaria and Russia at Ru-
mania's expense. Next day Turkish
friendship with the allies was ce-
mented by mutual assistance pacts
whereby France, Britain and Turkey
agreed to protect the eastern Medi-
terranean. Meanwhile Turkish
troops rushed to northern frontiers.
Commented irked Germany, which
promptly snuggled closer to Rus

that other states of the Balkan en-

But behind scenes there was COM
promise on the two most debatable
points. Repeal of the arms en-
barge was certain, but isolationists
demanded Observation-Disclosures"
instead of 90-day credits to bellig-
erents. Shippers and seaboard states
demanded that proposed restrictions
on U. S. shipping be relaxed. One
of the latter lobbyists whose word
carried weight was former Sen. Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo, now west
coast shipping executive, whose call
at the White House was followed
quickly by modification proposals.
Key Pittman, administration lead
er, called his foreign affairs hench-
men into council and observers were
pretty sure they'd win most isola-
tionists with these concessions:
l. Designating areas where U. S. ships
could carry all materials except arma-
ment, i. g.. lands like Australia and New
Zealand.
2. If U. s. vessel is destroyed with loss
of life, the President would automatically
stop trade in that vicinity.
3. The u. S. would not support shippers

4. Vessel masters would be required to

S. The entire western hemisphere would

6. "Cash.on.tfe- -barrelhead. would be I'm.
posed not only against foreign governments.
but upon residents of those countries
From such compromise, Demo
cratic wheelhorses saw hope for
1910. If the President disowns third
term ambitions before congress
opens next January, and if he avoids
any new reform or spending pro-
gram, observers were pretty cer-
tain the once-disheveled Democratic
party would hang together until
election time.

Farley Has Party Control
Locked Up in His Otun Safe

1t has been noted, repeatedly, how
the arms embargo debate has found
many of the anti-administration
Democrats aligned with the Presi-
dent, favoring repeal. Most of the
senators whom President Roosevelt
sought to purge" from the Demo-
cratic party believe with the Chief
Executive that the embargo ought to
be repealed. Some few of the ar
dent Roosevelt supporters are stand
ing against repeal. The interesting
fact is that the intra-party row,
among the Democrats, has had no
effect upon the stand taken by the
party members in the embargo con-
troversy. And, thus, there has been
considerable speculation whether
there is to be healing of the
wounds. I think there will not be.
The differences seem too deeply
seated.
However, that may be, it can be
said now that "Big Jim" Farley,
who is chairman of the New York
State Democratic committee in
addition to being chairman of the
National Democratic committee, has
control of the party locked up in his
own safe. If he chooses to align
himself with the Garner-Harrison
group, Mr.. Roosevelt and his fol-
lowers are through, washed up. If
he decides to support Mr.. Roose-
welt again, the anti-Roosevelt Demo-
Gratis will be tossed about like a
straw in a whirlwind. 1t appears to
this observer as of this time that the
swing of public sentiment definite
ly against anything in the nature of
American participation in the Euro
pean war probably win mean a
Farley swing to the Garner-Harri-
son side of the line.

er that is true or not, it is a fact
that the President has done nothing
at all to settle the long-standing row.
Getting back to the senate debate,
attention ought to be turned mo-
mentarily to the defeat Of the mo-
tion to separate the arms embargo
question from that involved in the
"cash and carry" sections Of the
bill. Senator Tobey, New Hamp-
shire Republican, proposed that the
bill be split up, because there was
virtually an unanimous vote in
prospect for a law that would let
American business sell ordinary sup
plies to both sides of the European
struggle, provided the buyers came
here in their own ships, paid cash
for their purchases and hauled them
away in their own vessels.
Short shrift was made Of that mo-
ton. It was licked by more than
two to one. The reason: if the "cash
and carry" section were disposed of,
there would be so much less inter-
est in the arms embargo repeal that
its eventual defeat would be entirely
possible.

Old Party Whip Is Used
To Keep Followers in Line

Wnlcn brings us Dack to the SUBJ
ject Of politics. It will be remem-
bered that President Roosevelt
called for an adjournment of poll
tics,". during the dangerous period.
No one made the open charge in de-
bate, but there were plenty Of sena-
tors who felt that the President ex-
erted pressure to keep his own fol-
lowers in line. The administration
leaders were quite well aware that
a titanic struggle confronted them
to obtain repeal of the arms embar-
go if it were cut loose from the
leash and carry" section. So the
old party whip was brought into
play.
But all of the changes that have
taken place in the country's thought
have had one reaction in Washing
ton that is not obvious to those iv-
ing outside of the capital city. I
have reported to you before how the
little clique that surrounds the Pres
ident-extreme radicals and men
with dreams who know how they
will disappear if Democrats instead
of New Dealers are in control-saw
in the possibility of war an assur-
ance of President Roosevelt's cleo
tion to a third term. They were
rubbing their hands and licking their
chops because they saw them
selves certain to continue in their
jobs, exercising great power. The
lack Of enthusiasm for their plans
has left them with nothing to do but
NOPE and sulk. Their strategy has
been blown up under their own
noses. They do not know what to
do about it.
The question that now confronts
the country, from a political stand
point, is whether the European war
will run six months or a year or
six years. The answer to the ques-
ton is vital to the politicians.
1t is especially important to those
who would "draft' Mr.. Roosevelt
to run for a third term, and I think

by such men as Postmaster General

At Sea
In 1919 the proud but beaten Ger
man navy scuttled II warships in
Scapa Flow .(see map rather than
lose them to the allies. In the war
of 1889, Germany remembered
Scapa Flow. Day after Nazi raiders
had bombed the Firth of Forth ma
val yard at Edinburgh, long-range
airships' again set out (probably
from Wilhelmshaven) and unleashed
the full fury. of Herr Hitler's air
might against Scapa Flow. Five
times in four hours they struck,
damaging the old Iron Duke and
giving Britishers a bad case Of jit-
ters. Next day press and parlia-
ment rallied at Prime Minister New
lille Chamberlain for sloppy defense
work. The cries grew stronger when
Chamberlain revealed the Royal Oak
had also been sunk at Scapa Flow
by a daring U-boat. tlS
But Britain was not idle in this
battle Of airship VS.. warship; she
was merely less communicative
than the Nazis, who boasted Of their
conquests. Next day Hollanders re-
ported the Enden naval base had
been bombed, and possibly Will

wegian- fishermen scurried for COW
er when the foes clashed somewhere
west of Skagerrak. But the sum
total Of war at sea, which far over
shadows the western front, is that
Nazi air might is humbling the sup
posedly invincible British navy.
