Fitting Home tor Documents.
Government officials and scholars
have long been aware Of the ills ol
the archival practices which had
grown up In the Government through
out the years, and have waited none
too patiently for Congress to provide
remedy. At last Congress has acted
not in niggardly fashion, nor on cir.
cumscribed lines, but with the liber-
atty Of ideas and breadth OF vision
characteristic of a great Nation. II
has caused to be erected an archives
building which, in spaciousness Of size
in beauty of design, and in complete
ness Of equipment will provide fit-
ting home for the priceless documents
which make up our Nations archives
it has created an administrative estab-
lishment which it has invested with
powers ample for the functions to be
performed. 1t would be difficult, in
deed, to overstate the significance o1
this action of Congress, and no one
has expressed it better than did Presi-
dent Hoover in his address at the
Evening star., 1935-11-26

on September 9, 1881, and the corner
stone was laid by President Hoover
on February 10, 1888. When COM
pleted the total cost of the building,
including furniture equipment. will
approximate $l2,000,000. Speaking
with all due moderation. think it
can be said that when finished, and
fully equipped, it will be the finest
archives building in the world. There's
nothing strange about this. Our Gov
ernment had Jagged far behind the
governments Of other great nations in
making provisions for its national
archives-it is, in fact, the last of the
great governments Of the world to do
so. But this delay has had at least
one advantage-it has enabled us to
profit by the experiences of others.
Before single blueprint for our build
ing was made, architects were sent to
Europe to study the archives buildings
of various European nations. From
these studies they learned many valu-
able things. chiefly. perhaps. what
they should not do-and thus were
able to take advantage Of the expert
ences of those countries, to avoid their
mistakes, and to introduce in our
building many new devices for dealing
with old problems. The result is a
structure which, from an architectural
point Of view. most people regard as
one Of the two or three most beautiful
buildings in Washington; while from
an administrative point Of view 1t is
perhaps the most nearly perfect build
ing Of its kind to be found anywhere.
States Have Contributed.
Classical in design, it rivals in
dignity and beauty the Lincoln Me-
mortal and the new Supreme Court
Building. To its erection each State
in the Union has made some con-
tribution, either in materials or in
service. Indiana contributed her
limestone, Tennessee her marble,
Massachusetts, her granite, New York
her artificial stone. Michigan her
woods, North Carolina her lumber,
Illinois her bronze. From various
States have come the architects who
designed the building, the artists who
embellished it, and the engineers.
mechanics, and laborers who con-
structed 1t. The building Is American

often becomes necessary for Congress
to delegate to the President, or to
some official appointed by him, power
to issue rules and regulations neces-
sary for the administration Of certain
laws. AS these rules and regulations,
in many cases, have the force and
effect of law and affect the personal
and property rights Of the citizen, 1t
is essential that they should be pub
lished and made available to the pub
lie. Congress, therefore, has made 1t
the duty of the several executive
agencies Of the Government which is
sue such rules and regulations to file
the originals and two duplicates Of
each with the division Of the Federal
Register in the national archives, as
q condition precedent to their validity.
This division Is required to furnish the
public printer, for publication in the
Federal Register, all presidential proc
lamations and executive orders and
all other such rules and regulations as
may have general applicability and
legal effect. Plans for launching the
Federal Register have been completed
and its publication will begin as soon
as the appropriations for its printing
are available.
In anticipation Of the early COM
pletion Of the Archives Building, the
Seventy-third Congress passed an act,
approved by President Roosevelt, June
10, 1884. which created the national
archives of the United States. The
act recognized two fundamental func-

precarious. In 1914, 1888, 1877, and
at other times, fires threatened their
existence. The danger from this source
was shown by a report presented to
Congress in 1915, which listed more
than $50 fires on Government prop
erty in the District of Columbia since
1873. Losses and destruction of
archives were. caused also by their
frequent removal from one place to
another, by inexpert handling, by
dampneSS, extremes of heat and cold,
and by insects. Stamp collectors, auto
graph hunters, and thieves mutilated
or purloined valuable documents.
In one case. a cabinet official sold
400 tons of official records to junk
dealer!
The situation finally attracted the
attention of President Hayes who. in
a special message of December 10,
1877, reminded Congress that "the
records of the Government constitute
a most valuable collection for the
country, whether we consider their
pecuniary value or their historical i'm
portance," and recommended legisla-
ton to guard them from destruction
or damage by fire.
Gathered Momentum.
From that time on the movement
gathered momentum. Other Presi-
dents, especially Arthur, Cleveland
Mckinley, Theodore Roosevelt. Taft
and Wilson; numerous cabinet Off
cials, Senators and Representatives;
scientific societies, patriotic organiza-
tions and the press united in urging
action by Congress. Finally, in 1916
Congress acted, but then came 1917 and
its aftermath, when the United States
Government became more concerned
in making new records than in pre-
serving old ones. Another decade OF
delayed hopes followed, marked by
an expansion Of Government records
at a vastly accelerated rate, which
drove executive officials almost tc
frenzy in vain efforts to find space
for both their files and for the daily
work of their stats.
The situation, of course, increased
the pressure for an archives building

necessary funds. Plans were drawn

Wilson school children had a valu-
