Scrimping the Army
Frugal Policy Contrasted With Open
Handedncss to Russia

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: More than 100000 for Rus
sla and quite too little for the army
and navy of the United States! There
is much suffering in this country due
to unemployment. Does our Congress
appropriate money to relieve it? 1t
does not. BY refusing to appropriate
money for the proper maintenance of
existing government activities it causes
more unemployment.
This country is in grave need Of pro-
lection from criminals (including an
archists) within its borders. Read sny
daily newspaper to learn how many
crimes are being committed. 1t has
been demonstrated many times that
the regulars" arc the final resort wh.n
civil authority fails Yet not only has
Congress failed to appropriate enough
money to render efficier.t the regulars
we now have, but daily commanding
othcers IN the army and navy are ad
Vlsed that measures to increase eff
c'ency cannot be undertaken because
OF the necessity for economy.
probably no station occupied bx
nted States forces needs all posx;b1c
aids for morals more than the naval
station at Guantanamo Bay. Cuba. As
al economical measure the band has
recently been removed from that eta
tion! How soon have we forgotten The
rysfer'cal efforts during and after the
World War to keep up the morale",
Is morale" needed only when ne epht?
There were many proofs that those
high in the last eight-ycar Adm;nistr.
''on believed the cheapest article to be
most economical. Many good Amcri-
cans lost lives and limbs because Of
that belief. The present Administra-
tion is saddled with much worthless
material because Of that policy.
A mistaken idea exists in the minds
OF many, who believe money annro-
prla'ed TOT defense to be lost. TO
those who SO believe suggest that
they consider three things. namely:
" Who receives the wages for build

Armenia and France
Warm Sympathy for the Victim of Turkish Oppression
and Loan for kemal

cal rights Of nationalities is the pride
of our traditions ard our history. 1t is
applicable, to our mind, to the popu-
lations of Armenia, Syria and Lebanon
as we'll AS to all peoples who are under
the yoke of the opprcssor. whoever he
may be. All these peoples deserve our
sympathy and our support. They must
all have the opportunity Of deciding
| their own destiny"
On July II. 1918, Georges Clemen-
ccau. Premier Of France, wrote: "Thc
unseltish spirit of the Armenians, their
loyalty to the Allies, disployed in the
Foreign Aegion, on the Caucasian front
and in the Legion Of the East, have
strengthened the bonds which attach
them to France. | am happy to confirm
your belief that the government of the
French Republic, as we'll rs that Of the
United Kingdom, has not ceased to
reckon the Armenian nation among the
number Of peoples whose destiny the
Allies intend to settle according TO the
higher laws Of humanity and justice" ;"
Aud Raymond Poincarc, President Of
the French Republic, on February l6,
1919. sent this subjoincd assurance to
Mgr. Terzian. the Armenian Prelate Of
Cilicia, Armenia Minor: "Armenia has
not doubted France, nor France Ar
mcna. After having endured to-
gethcr tho same suffcrings for the tri-
u,nph of right and justice in the world
our two friendly countries arc able to-
day to commune in the same JOY and
the same pride. But the government
Of the republic does not regard the
duty Incumbent upon it towards the
Arme ....l population rs having ended
ODD. 1t knows the cooperation
which is c.pected Of it by Armenia,
and more especially the noble land of
Cilcia, in order that they may enjoy
in full security the benefits of peace
and freedom. l can assure your beati-
tude that France viii respond to the
confidence which you have shown her
in this respect"
Now the French government has not
only betrayed to the Turks the mobile
land Of Cilicia" and promised them
loans, but also opposes every move
made by chivalrous Belgium to bring
the Armenian question before the
League Of Nations.

For American Valuation
Exporter Who Favors Forcney Tariff Bill Plan Of
Levymg Duties

10 the Editor Of I he Tribune.
Sir: Although you appear to be
editorally opposed to the American
valuation plan rs at present embodied
in the Fordney tariff bin you have bccn
fair enough to print both SIDES Of the
question in Jour paper.
Might I. as plain American citi-
7en' state a few facts in connection
with this plan as follows
Herbert Hoover Secretary Of Com
mercc. in a hearing before the WAYS
and Means Committee in Washington
on May 3. 1921, was asked by one q
the members or the committee, Nj
Crisp. the following question: II
would like to know your opinion aa
TO whether it would be advisable for
the United States to change its policy
of leNylng duties to American valua-
tons proposed in the bill which the
committee is consid idcrlng'
Mr.. Hoovcr's answer was as follows;
i have given that some thought. NV
impression is that with the unstaple
currency and exchange situation in
large part OF Europe to-day there is
practically no other slternativc'

that they would again be unable to
get possession, the owners kept this
property idle for some months until
they were able to sell. Today 1t mas

but so per cent of, this building is
retained from the original structure.
Problem OF Financing.
Another consideration which the
proposed legislation is going to make
more difficult is the financing of
legitimate building enterprises. When
a business building is erected ninety
nine out Of one hundred owners need
financial assistance. An owner takes
his plans to an insurance company
or trust company and gives a state
ment of the earning possibilities OF
the project. 1t is apparent that such
financing Is made difficult when there
Is no stability as to the rentals cal
culated, because they may be reduced
to any point that the rent commits
sion may deem proper.
"If Congress. in the wisdom OF Its
members. is willing to pass a law
that automatically makes null and
void what formerly had been
legally, signed contract, a. law that
grants power to a commission to
deprive one class of citizens in order
to benefit another class, it is my
opinion that real estate investing. in
the better sense Of the word, will
soon cease altogether in the District
of Columbia"

apartments. Unless the new building
whiGh Is to be erected contains q
similar number of apartments, the
occupants Of the old apartments can
not NOT. under the law, be dispossessed
wat could be more unfair than such
condition?
Building Freedom Prevented.
When the old building referred to
was built. some thirty five years ago,
this section was almost in the coun-
try and was strictly residential in
character. There are in the building
d mar -dozen or more apartments
renting for $25 or $50 per month. I'm
ger the present rent law the owner is
prevented from making 100000 i'm
provement without building a. semi
apartment house In what the District
zoning commission now terms a bust
ness section.
The District is naturally losing
taxes on such a development, and the
owher IS losing that to which he is
own property and the interest on
more than 100000 already invested.
ANOTHER injustice is that an old
dwelling located in a zoned business
section may not be altered or remod-
eled, put must be totally torn down
IN oroer to dispossess a monthly ten
ant. What can be more retarding to
aevelopment than this restriction? 1t
Is both practical and economical, in
many instances. to use portion of an
old building to remodel into a bust
ness structure. Very often the floor
heights are proper, and by putting in
new front. modern heating and light
Ing, show windows, etc, a business
building may be constructed at a far
lower cost than If the old structure
mas been completely demolished.
