Though it will :contain a priceless col- lection of war relics and records of the 'achievements of: the Australian Imperial Force during Gte Great War, the intention is that every aspect of the glorification of war shall be avoid- ed, and that in collecting and classify- ing the articles and records in the museum, the object will be to s how the hardships and sufferings or the warperiod. In this way It Is hoped to make the memorial a moriun eat which will teach' a lesson of world-wide peace. A special committee of the .Federal Parliament is at present investigating the project, and important/ evidence was recently given before the commit- tee by Charles E. W. Bean, official war correspondent for Australia,•andl' editor of "The Official History of the War." Describing ' the plans of the pro posed building, Mr. Bean, explained that the 'building would be one of monumental beauty on -a site on the slopes -of Mount Ainslie. Froin this position it will be visible from every part' of the federal . capital city. It. would resemble somewhat Napoleon's Tomb in Paris. A feature of the build rug would be at the Hall of Memory in which will be inscribed the name of every Australian soldier who had fallen in the war, including Austra- lians who had fallen while serving with other allied forces. The ranks ' they held would not be 'shown. It is expectedthat the staff engaged upon the task of claseifyiug the re- cords will be occupied for three years upon this work. The British, -French, ly teach .the lesson of peace.' lo their records fer this purpose.' The German Gorermnent, in particular, has been most eburteous in allowing t:he' Australian authorities access to all its records and photographs. On the ground floor of the building will be rooms for the dieplay, of maps, famous war messages and personal relics, and lei order' that these might be, kept in the best peasiblo, state of preservation, the authorities have been in comnrunlcatiolt with the savants engaged in -the task of preserving the relics taken from the tomb' of Tut - ankh -Amen In Egypt. There will alai" be courts containing naval displays; relics from Gallipoli, Palestine , and the western -front, au airplane court, and one containing a`number of actual war models; At a conservative esti mate, the value of the pictures which will be displayer will be about £50,- 000.
