BANNED WEAPONS
POISON GAS AND FLAME THROWERS SALE BY UNITED STATES DEFENDED. ON GROUND OF DETERRENT EFFECT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, Noon). ' WASHINGTON, October 26. The Senate defeated an amendment prohibiting the sale of poison gas, flame throwers and other weapons of chemical warfare. Senator Barkley, opposing the amendment argued that a belligerent would hesitate to use such weapons, if he knew the United States supplies of them were available to his enemies. Senator Neely, with Senator Hale concurring, warned the Senate that a victory for Hitler would turn Canada into “an armed camp of Hitler followers.’’ and then the United States would be subjected to the same bloody orgy that had desecrated Poland.
