Gradually as numerous crises g.
enrred il become more evident to
he historian that collective s@eeuri-
ty was a flimsy reed lending little
support to the cause Of information
al Justice. His ardor cooled, and
today he Is outspokenly opposed to
American participation in any
scheme for collective security.
1'odya's problems in Europe he
believes arc due to the stupid and
hungling policy of the French and
British. They "sabotaged" the
League of Nations, he asserts. And
today when "the so-called democ-
racies of France and Britain are
ruled by decadent and effete trick
sters like Chamberlain and Dalad-
ier", DIR. Harris thinks the Amer
lean people should have a voice in
whether or not they want to keep
company with such "tricksters."
The University of Omaha prof
essor is willing to admit that he
might not be such a strong sup
porter of the war referendum had
the League of Nations proved eff
ieetive in dealing with aggressor
states. But the breakdown of ma
chinary for maintaining interna-
tional law, he says, makes more
important than ever a direct ex-
preston from the American peo-
pie before this country IAN become
entangled again in a battle royal
overseas.
The argument is often raised
that the public could be misled by
propaganda and pressure groups
% easily than the President and
Congress. This is d~isproved by
the cases of Mckinley and Wilson.
Political pressure, the desire to
rally tho public to the Republican
party and to get peoples minds
off domestic problems led McKin-
ley to ask Congress 30 declare war
IN Spain even though that country
had already yielded on every point.
"Prcsi5ent Wilson was subjected
to enormous economic and polite
al pressure to tabe the United
States into the World War to save
civ lization, to save democracy,
and, incidentally, to save huge fin
ancial investments in the Allied
Gauss.
"The argument that the war ref
erendum will weaken our defense
is utterly fallacious because the
proposal isn't effective in case of
attack. Furthermore, the dang
er of attack is extremely remote"
Oh. Harris is convinced that
three or four American wars might
have been averted had there been
a war referendum. He cites the
War of 1912, the Mexican War of
1876, the Spanish-American War,
and the World War.
"Our war with Spain was due
almost entirely to the duplicity Of
President Mckinley" he stated.
"And if a vote had been taken in
the spring of 1917 before we en-
tered the World War, the Atlantic
coast regions certainly would have
voted for war; but it is quite like
ly that the Middle West and the
Far West would have voted for
peace"

Guard Studies Annoy Site
East of Fort Humphreys
Wide Difference Of Opinion Over
A Southwest Area Indicated

GERS would have a military library
available, would probably be able to
get officers there for instruction and
lecture purposes. Also there would
be an immense parade ground for
the use of the Guard, located within
the Fort Humphreys reservation.
On the other hand, other omcers
contend the Southwest location
would not be desirable for the loca-
ton of an armory. In the first place,
it was pointed out, the site tenta-
lively suggested is in about the
worst location that could be pro-
vided for such structure. They say
it is inaccessible. adding that trans
portation is not available in close
proximity to the proposed building.
They see little purpose in spending
$l50,0 900 for the acquisition of land
in crowded Southwest Washington
when the Government now owns six
squares on East Capitol street,
where the Park and Planning Com
mission proposes that the armory
should be erected. Furthermore, it
was contended the plans for the
treatment of the East Capitol street
area provided for a great stadium,
which would be available to the
Guard for a parade ground.
They hope the location of the
armory will be changed to East
Capitol street in accordance with
the long time plans of the National
Park and Planning Commission.

Tentative surveys made by off,
cials of the District National Guard
Of available tracts for acquisition for
construction of an armory in South
west Washington have indicated that
practically the only site available is
east of Fort Humphreys and prac-
tically over the old James Creek
Canal. The District appropriation
bill, as passed by the House of Rep
resentatives, carries a provision for
$150,000 for the purchase of a site,
with the stipulation that it must be
in Southwest Washington.
y Talks with members of the Militia
indicated wide difference of opinion
over the desirability of the South
west site. Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox,
commanding general of the local
Militia, said he wants an armory
to replace the present National Ho-
tel quarters. entirely unsuited to the
purpose for which they are being
used. AS result, he said, he is not
disposed to enter the argument as
to its location-whether it should
be placed where the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
has always recommended, at the foot
of East Capitol street, or in the un-
anticipated site in Southwest Wash
ington.
Gen. Cox said there would be
some advantages to the Guard in the
Southwest location. Being adjacent
to the Army War College, the OFF,

Hopkins 10 Testify
Al Wagner Act
Revision Hearinq
Expected to Disclose
Changes Acceptable
To Business
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt may depend
on Secretary of Commerce Hopkins
to let Congress know how far the
administration Is willing to 60 in
revising the Wagner Labor Relations
Act.
Secretary Hopkins and several
other high administration officials,
including Secretary of Labor Perkins,
will appear before the Senate Labor
Committee which begins hearings
tomorrow on proposed amendments
to the much-debated law.
The former w. P. A. administrator,
who became commerce chief amid
widely accepted reports that his job
was to bring about cooperation be-
tween business and the New Deal,
is likely to present to the committee
changes in the law which would be
acceptable to business interests.
At the same time, committee
members indicated, he is expected
to avoid tramping on the toes Of
labor, by steering clear of the

the Labor Relations Board
Tells Administration Attitude.
Chairman Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah summed up his idea of the
administration attitude by saying it
was opposed to any attempt to
cripple the act On the other hand,
he declared, Il think that if we can
agree on the clean-cut amendments
We can pass them very quickly"
Opposition to the Wagner Act and
the Labor Board has come princi-
pally from two quarters-the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor and busi-
ness groups, such as the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
the National Association of Manu-
facturers
While the latter has contended
that the act is prejudiced against
employers and is source of busi-
ness -disrupting labor strife, the A.
F. of L. has attacked the board as
favoring the c. I. o. The latter
opposes revision of the law.
Farm Amendments Proposed.
Four sets of proposed amendments
are before the committee:
!. Senator Walsh Democrat. Of
Massachusetts introduced proposals
submitted by the A. F. of L. These
would give priority to established
craft unions in collective bargain-
ing controversies with c. l. o. in
dustrial unions and would prevent
invalidation by the Labor Board of
craft union contracts in favor Of
industrial union contracts.
2. Senator Burke, Democrat, Of
Nebraska, incorporating many Of
the business proposals, suggested
making unions as well as employers
responsible for unfair labor prac-
tices: replacing the present Labor
Board with three new members, and
increasing the authority of Federal
courts over Labor Board decisions.
3. Senator Holman. Republican, Of
Oregon proposed complete abon-
ton of the present system and crea-
ton instead of labor relations
commissioner in the Labor Depart
me1t and an independent nine
member labor appeals board.
4. Senator Logan, Democrat, Of
Kentucky asked that agricultural
industries be exempted. from the
law.

eral hundred requests for oppor-
tunity to testify, but Chairman
Thomas said I'VE won't hear every
