Guard May Get Only
Warehouse Not
New Armory
Statement by Collins
Raises Question of
Type Of Building

Members of the National Guard
OF the District of Columbia say
they are not quite sure whether
they are to get new armory or
just warehouse" as a result Of
the appropriation for a site con-
tanned in the District appropriation
bill, which restricts it's use to the
southwest structure.
They are puZzling over the
statement by Representative Ross
Collins, made on the floor of the
House in explaining the new legisla-
ton for an armory site. He said
that the District Guardsmen are in
need of an armory-"not a riding
hall or a drill hall, but a modern.
up-to-date armory. You might call
1t glorified warehouse"
"Those of u.s." he continued, who
keep step with the progress of mat
ters military know that armies in
the future are going to be on wings
and on wheels. We ought to have a
place where we can house modern,
effective implements, instead of a
place where the boys can march,
because I do not think we are going
to make much headway at marching
in front of machine-gun fire."
Drill Hall Long Needed.
One OF the main arguments over
a period of 30 years in which loci
militiamen have been trying to OBJ
tain an armory is the lack of ar
adequate drill hall for use during
the inciement weather of the ar
mory drill period which covers most
of the year. They do not have one
now in the old National Hotel and
the complaints of this lack are con.
slant.
Officers pointed out that a.
fundamental of military training
is discipline, and one Of the prime
elements for developing and main
tanning this is close-order drill Now
they get only little Of this during
the year, because of the lack of
an armory, as officers hesitate to
take men outside in bad weather,
exposing them to colds and other
diseases for which they have to
bear the expense of treatment.
Storage Space Incidental.
While admitting that they need
space for the effective storing Of
the heavy field equipment assigned
them by the Army, it was pointed
out that this is incidental to the
training which is most important.
Assuming that they do have a lot
of rolling stock incidental to Army
mechaniZation officers point out
that they must have sufficient space
not only to store it but to be able
become familiar with its operation,
and space for this must be much
larger than even a drill hall should
be. But the drill hall is considered
imperative. because. military men
say, regardless of how they work
with this equipment. close-order
military drill will never be indis-
pensible
Tentative plans which have been
discussed for the proposed structure
do not provide for any such barn
like" structure which. as Represen-
tative Collins said would not fit in
the East Capitol street development.
It provides for a central drill hall,
surrounded by a series of buildings
which will be assigned to each unit
with protected connections to the
drill hall.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, April 8.-The
Baltimore Housing Authority
purchased the home of Edgar
Allan Poe for $500 today and
the historic dwelling at. 2O3
Amity street apparently was
doomed to oblivion.
The authority has promised
to preserve the landmark from
the wrecking crews which soon
will raze buildings in the area,
but no plans have been made
for restoring and maintaining
the Poe home. The dwelling
was purchased from Maggie
Elizabeth Eichelberger.
If money is spent on the
home, said c. D. Loomis, tech
nical director of the authority,
it will be used to improve the
dwelling for use by the admin
istrative and operating bureaus.

Naming Of Aggressors
Assai|ed by Borah
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho told the Senate yesterday 1T
is now being adroitly urged" that
the United States embrace in it's for
eign policy the doctrine of naming
aggressor nations and Furnishing
them.
Senator Borah made the statement
in obtaining permission to insert in
the Congressional Record a maga-
zine article on foreign affairs by
John Bassett Moore, authority on in
ter1ational law.
The theory is that. in case of war
between two or more nations, the
United States will determine who
among the powers. is the aggressor-
that is, who has violated treaty or
in other ways initiated this con-
fict," said Senator Borah.
The next step in the program"
the Senator continued, is for this
Nation to open up an economic war
upon the aggressor nation. We seek
to break down its economic strength,
to StarVe Its people and to render it
incapable of carrying on war. We
take part at once in this economic
war.
IN view of the fact that practi-
cally all modern wars arise out of
controversies in regard to trade. COM
merce, raw materials and territory,
we find ourselves involved in what
you might call the very heart of the
controversy.
"All this, however, is in the name
of peace and for the purpose of
keeping us out of European wars.
The fact is that whatever may be
the claim, it is the most subtle and
effective method yet conceived to
bring US into all European contro-
versies of any moment"
