NEW MADRID, Mo-. Jan. 1S.-
Snow and sleet laid new misery to-
day on the ragged shoulders Of
Southeast Missouri's tatterdemalion
army of sharecroppers and farm
laborers. conducting siege on pub
lie opinion in hope of succor from
their economic plight.
Freezing temperatures enveloped
the scattered groups-three-fourths
of them colored-huddled in sodden,
makeshift tents and ramshackle We
hicles along $50 miles of cotton
country highway since Tuesday.
Concern over the demonstration
and conditions blamed for it grew
apace here and IN Washington.
Duration Is Indefinite.
How long it would continue re-
mained indefinite. Some families
repeatedly returned to their farms.
I'VE CANT move, haven't no place
to CO." declared Henry McAdory,
colored spokesman for a camp of 200
near here.
Food dwindled, and was divided.
Farm Security Administration off,
cials said it would require 10 days for
approval of subsistence grants.
Surplus Commodities Corp. heads
explained those in need must apply
personally for the supplies available
at their warehouses. McAdory said
his group had received no help.
At two meetings yesterday, land
owners demanded a Federal probe
of the situation and denied the ma
jority of the demonstrators had
been evicted from their tenancies, as
leaders claimed.
March Declared Instigated.
A resolution, which they sent to
State and Federal officials, con-
tended the mass march to the
highways was 'instigated by GER
tain agitators who are telling the
people the Government will give
them 40 acres of ground, tools and
| teams"
More than 80 per cent of the
demonstrators are not share
croppers, and many are not even
residents of Missouri" the resolu-
ton said. It asserted most of the
refugees were transient cotton
pickers who were seeking Govern
ment resettlement.
The landowners also urged an in
vestigation of the activities of Hans
Baasch, supervisor of the Farm Sc
curlty Administrations resettlement
project at La Forge, Mo-: and Owen
w. Whitfield, colored minister and
tenant at La Forge. Mr.. Baasch
declined comment.
La Forge Is Laboratory
There are 100 families on the
6,70O-acre La Forge project, which
was formally dedicated last month
as Laboratory" attempt to solve
the social and economic problems
OF the sharecropper. Each family
has a new home, outbuildings and
farm equipment provided by the
Government on long-term credit.
Many in the forlorn throngs along
the highways, when asked what they
hoped to gain from their demonstra-
ton, replied, I'VE want another La

Maj. Gen. Walter

Georgia told reporters he would sug-
gest an amendment stating that all
sales Of ornaments to belligerent
countries, whether they went to
governments, private companies or
citizens, would be regarded as a
sale to the belligerent governments
themselves.
He saids this proposal would be
coupled with a requirement that all
arms be paid for in actual cash.
The proposed amendment, Sena-
tor George said, would prevent "any
evasion" of the bills purpose through
the purchase Of armaments by citi-
zens or private companies in bellig-
erent countries.
The Georgian pointed out that
the neutrality measure does not af-
feet ordinary commercial transac-
tions between citizens of the United
States and other countries, includ-
ing belligerents, except that title to
goods bought here must be trans
ferred before they are shipped to
belligerent countries. He said his
proposal would not change that ar
rangement.

They know that the House men,
bers are hearing from home. Even
now, the most favorable poll-for
repeal-which the administration
leaders have taken shows only a
majority of 20. That can be
whitfield away in no time.
Byrnes Chides Opposition.
On the other hand, Senator
Byrnes, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima, who has taken a leading part
in the fight for repeal, chided the
opposition for attempting to string
the Senate debate along in the hope
that the House would be influenced
to vote against repeal" and that
something might turn up," either
in this country or abroad.
They know they are beaten in
the Senate" said Senator Byrnes.
And I am confident the House also
will support the bill with the repeal
provision in it."
Meanwhile. there was talk of con-
cessions on the part Of supporters
of the bill, both as regards the 90
day commercial credits authorized
for belligerent purchasers of Ameri-
can goods and as regards the pro-
hibition of American ships from
entering all ports of the belligerent
nations and their possessions.
Agreement Is Predicted.
Senator Byrnes indicated there
should be little difnculty in COM
ing to some arrangement about the
90-day credits-even If they had to
be eliminated He said the Demo-
cratic members OF the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee would meet to dis
cuss some revision of the carry"
provisions of the bill 50 as to give
the American ships greater latitude
OF operation. In the end, he pre-
dicted, it would be necessary to
leave this matter to the discretion
of the President.
He said that several Senators al
ready have tried their hands at
writing shipping amendment. All
have found it impossible. he added,
to draft such an amendment with
hard and fast lines.
Senator George, Democrat, OF

asserted. "they are In favor Of re-
peal of the arms embargo"
Working through its usual Sat-
urday recess under the administra-
ton leadership drive for speed, the
days formal speeches were made
by Senators Lundeen and Connally
and Frazier. Republican, Of North
Dakota.
In his talk, Senator Frazier argued
that Great Britain and France
would regard repeal Of the embargo
as q sign that the United States
was on their side. He added:
If the arms embargo is lifted, It
must be conceded that it will favor
one side in the conflict against the
other. and favoring one side means
a step toward war.
Perhaps we could take sides in
this European mixup without actu-
ally sending troops across the At
lantic, but once We yield to pro-
British and pro-French pressure,
are we going to have any moral rea-
son for stopping short of war? II
we let up on our neutrality and sell
arms to the allies, can we refuse to
relax also on our credit laws when
they run short Of money? Can we
refuse private loans, then public
loans, and then the Army to protect
the loans?"
Against First Step.
The only safe way to stay out OF
European wars, Senator Frazier
argued, is not to take the first step
Discussing war prosperity, the North
Dakota Senator continued:
1T seems to me every one must
admit that money from war profits
Is. to say the least, tainted. Are We
so hardened, as a Nation, that we
are willing to fill our banks with
gold coined from the blood of human
beings, like ourselves, who have beer
forced into war by jealous rulers
crazy for power? 1t does no good
to say that some one else will sell
them arms and that we might as
well get the profit. That Is
threadbare argument that cannot

ton myself"
He proposed sarcastically that the
United States suggest to England
that we would accept Bermuda, the
Bahamas, Trinidad, Labrador, New
foundland and a strip of Canada
80 or 100 miles" through which a
road could be built from Seattle to
Alaska.
Pointing out that other Senators
had declared repeal of the arms en-
barge would aid England and
France, Senator Daugherty, Repub-
lican, of Connecticut suggested that
as a condition to such assistance the
United States might ask them ito
cede in advance any islands that
might fall into the hands of an
enemy"
Administration supporters gen.
orally criticized Col. Lindbergh's s
suggestion that a distinction be
made between offensive and de-
fensive weapons. However, Sen
ator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan asserted that it would be

justify our change Of the neutrality

In his first participation in SEN
ate debate, Senator Chandler, Demo-
crat, until recently Governor of
Kentucky, drew applause from the
galleries when he said ne would
never vote to send American boys
to war abroad. He had begun by
saying that a QUESTIONABLE had been
circulated in the Senate yesterday
morning asking Senators how many
sons they had who would be old
enough to go to war.
The 4l-year-old Senator said he
had two sons, ages 5 and 10, but
added: Il have the honor of hold

ments he has heard in his few days

self, Senator Connally continued.
Impossible to Draw Line.
During the five-hour debate, the
proposal of Col Lindbergh and
former Pres mt Hoover that the
arms embargo be lifted for de
fensive arms" and continued for
offensive" weapons was mentioned
frequently. Both sides in the en-
barge repeal fight admitted that 1t
would be practically impossible to
draw a line between defensive and
offensive arms.
Senator Connally was moved to
remark:
when Mr.. Hoover and Col. Lind
bergh say they favor the shipment
of defensive weapons, it means they
favor the repeal of the arms
embargo"
Determined to give the House full
opportunity to hear from the coun-
try" before it votes on the arms
embargo, the Senate forces aligned
against repeal are laying their plans
for another two weeks Of debate in
the Senate.
1t is clear the opponents Of repeal
are basing all their hopes now on
the House, which last summer, de-
spite administration pressure, de-
clined to give up the arms embargo
The administration leaders, on the
other hand, are equally determined
to bring about a final vote on the
bill at the earliest possible moment
In an attempt OF speed up debate
and to wear down the speech
makers, Senator Barkley late yes
terday planned to have the Senate
open it's sessions an hour earlier
at II am.-and to hold the Senate
in session until 6 or pm.
The majority leader offered no
motion to that effect, however.
Many Want to Make Speeches.
With the debate going into its
third week, there is sizable list OF
Senators waiting to make speeches
Senators Clark of Idaho, Holt of
West Virginia and Walsh of Mas
sachusetts, Democrats. and Capper
of Kansas, Republican. are among
those expected to speak early this
week.
In stating there would be nc
agreement to limit debate, Senator
Clark of Missouri asserted:
This is one of the most important
questions ever to come before the
Senate. The debate has been per-
fectly legitimate and entirely or
