has been the practice Of the American
Government to withdraw such forces
whenever and as soon as the local
situation so develops as to warrant
the view that their withdrawal can
be effected without detriment to
American interests and obligations in

In announcing our intention TO afford
appropriate and reasonable protection
to our rights and interests in the Far
East. I stated clearly that we are fully
determined to avoid the extremes
either Of internationalism or of isola-
tionism. 1nternationalism would mean
undesirable political involvements;
isolationism would either compel US
to confine all activities Of our people
within our own frontiers, with in
calculable injury to the standard Of
living and the general welfare Of our
people, or else expose our nationals
and our legitimate interests abroad to
injustice or outrage wherever lawless
conditions arise. Steering a sound

against violation and abuse Of the
legitimate rights and interests Of every
nation.
To waive rights and to permit In
terests to lapse In the face OF their
actual or threatened violation-and
thereby to abandon obligations-
any important area Of the world, can
serve only t6 encourage disregard Of
law and Of the basic principles Of in
ternational order and thus contribute
to the inevitable spread Of interna-
tional anarchy throughout the world.
For this country, Is for any country,
to act In such manner anywhere would
be to invite disregard and violation Of
its rights and interests everywhere, by
every nation 30 inclined. large or small.
To respect the rights Of others and
to insist that others respect our rights
has been the traditional policy Of our
country. This policy was admirably
expressed by James Monroe. when, In
his message to Congress on December
2. 1923, he said:
"Our policy ." remains the same
80 to cultivate friendly relations = -
and to preserve those relations by
frank, firm, and manly policy, meeting
in all instances the just claims Of
every power, submitting to injuries
from none"
In world in which the rule of force
has not as yet been firmly and surely
supplanted by the rule Of law, it is
the manifest duty of a great nation to
maintain armed forces adequate for
its national defense. Writing on this
subject, which was as vital to our ma
tional life $50 year ago as it is today,
James Madison said:
THE means of security can only be
regulated by the means and the dan
ger Of attack. They will, in fact, be
ever determined by these rules, and by
no others"

port OF the program, now before the
Congress. to render adequate the
means OF our national defense, No
policy would prove more disastrous
than for an important nation to fail to
arm adequately when international
lawlessness Is on the rampage. 1t is
my considered judgment that. in the

The maintenance Of these principles
that are OF concern to all nations alike
cannot and should not be undertaken
by any one nation alone. Prudence
and common sense dictate that, where

time attacks when the daylight
hombardment started.
At 7:45 am. (2:45 am, E. s. T)
came new rain Of death from the
skies. Rescue squads rushed out to
probe the debris only to be driven
to cover at 1925 when bombs started
falling again In the central part Of
the city,
In this eighth raid explosives blasted
apart homes in a poor residential
district. There five or six buildings,
six stories high, collapsed.
IL Die in Shoe Factory.
One bomb made direct hit on a
shoe factory and IL workers were
killed. crushed by heavy wooden
beams that tumbled about their heads
Women wept in the streets as dead
and wounded were pulled out Of tene-
ment ruins.
The torrents Of bombs fell on a city
exhausted by a series Of raids last
night which kept the populace in
terror for hours.
Each onslaught was brief, but the
series took the heaviest toll Of recent
weeks In the frequently bombed
provincial capital and temporary seat
OF the republican government.
In the first daylight raid most Of
the victims were caught at the en-
trance of subway station on their
way to work. One bomb fell in the
middle Of the street, scattering shrap-
mel in their midst.
Residential Section Hit.
Other bombs hit new section Of the
city which includes many residential
quarters.
One missile struck the city's largest
luxury hotel housing many foreigners,
but apparently none was hurt.
The ballroom where many gay
dances are held was demolished. Many
windows were shattered. Another
bomb hit the house across the street.
At one hospital the Associated Press
correspondent saw bloodstreaked floors
and bloodsoaked stretchers.
The wounded were brought in so fast
that doctors and nurses we're unable
to care for them Immediately. Cor
ridors were crowded with injured.
Most of them appeared dazed or un-
conscious. Some asked what had
happened. Others just groaned.
Rescue squads still dug frantically in
the debris of a demolished house in
the center Of the city for victims buried
there.
Bombed Several Hours.
Insurgent warplanes pumped bombs
bombs en- the city for hours last
night and scattered a mass demon
stration at the Presidents Palace
where fiery oratory was being heard
urging determined resistance to a
threatened insurgent invasion of
Catalonia
The raids started when the streets
were jammed. Bombs fell on many
buildings In the center Of the city.
Smoke from numerous fires blotted
out the sky.
The sirens warning of the raid in
terrupted parades behind sound
trucks. San Vicente and other vii
lagos near "Tarragona also were
bombed.
A government communique said the
government lost no territory Wednes-
day for the first time since the IN
surgent offensive to the sea started.
