BY EDWARD e.. BOMAK

WASHINGTON, March s. Up -
The war department offered today
to sell, to Latin American and other
acknowledgement nations, artillery,
rifles and other surplus war mate
rial which cost originally several
hundred million dollars.
A list of such surplus weapons, de.
scribed as disable" though they date
from the World War, was disclosed
following an announcement that &c
~long-range six-inch field pieces ha6
already been sold to Brazil. The
price was not made public.
President Roosevelt announced last
month that certain army and navy
munitions would be offered to neu-
trails and the list was prepared al
his direction. Finland was barred
from the offer because it is at pres
ent engaged in hostilities.
The sale to Brazil was said off
cially to be the first such sale O.
army munitions to a foreign govern.
ment since the World War. Some
$500 rifles were reported reliably
however, to have been transferred
recently to Haiti, and the Philippine
government was SUPPLIED with rifles

and mountain guns for its new army
after the commonwealth was set I'D
in 1885 to prepare for independence.
Several Latin American govern
ments, including Chile, have inquired
since the European war started
whether American munitions in stor-
age for more than two decades were
for sale. Sweden also has made such
inquiries.
The 1920 national defense act au.
thorlzed the secretary of war to sell
arms which were not needed by the
army, and for which there was nc
adequate domestic market, The navy
was reported, however, to have de
cjded that further legislation would
be required to dispose of warship:
which possess military value.
The war departments for sale lis
was prepared under the direction O
assistant Secretary Louis Johnson
Officials explained that the surplus
munitions had all been displaced by
later models. No prices were giver
but it was understood the genera
policy was to ask less than a thirt
of the original cost. Included were
some 100000 Enfield rifles out O.
some 1,S0O,0 900 models of this shout
