Furore Subsidies

Collins, on House Floor,
Defends Action in Having
Film Presented

The furore caused by the secret
showing of German war film on
Capitol Hill Tuesday night had sub
sided today with everyone appar-
emily satisfied with the explanations
offered by Representative Ross Col
Inns, Democrat of Mississippi, and
officials OF the newsreel firm which
distributed the Aim.
Mr.. Collins, who arranged the pri-
vate exhibition for members Of Con-
gress, took the floor OF the House
late yesterday to defend his action,
telling his colleagues he believed he
was doing "a real service to my
country" in requesting that the Aim
be shown to them.
Explaining that the picture, Of
German origin, represented the Ger
man advance into Belgium "and per-
haps other countries" Representa-
tive Collins declared:
"It showed planes dropping bombs,
parachutes, large and small tanks
and the devices for wholesale slaugh-
ter, and brought to my mind the
definite idea that If we do not pre-
pare to resist this type of warfare.
our preparations will be futile and
our country in a war would perish
as have other countries that have
clung to the military technique OF
the past"
Saw Technical Value.

Collins had issued a formal state

showing because the film has great

he had agreed to show it to men,
bers of Congress only after turning
down several requests by Mr.. Collins.
I'VE didn't wish to capitalize on
the film" Mr. Brown said. "The
public has been seeing enough war
pictures"
The secret exhibition of the film
had been followed by speculation on
its origin, one Representative even
suggesting that 1t was part OF a
German plan to "intimidate" United
States lawmakers.
In his speech on the House floor,
Representative Collins said he was
sorry if any member Of Congress had
been offended by the showing, and
