Publisher Assai|s Removal
OF Mani|a's Defenses
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Dec. 81
In a telegram to President Roose-
welt, Basil Brewer, publisher of the
New Bedford Standard Times and
the Mercury, today criticized the
removing Of American defenses from
Manila.
The message, copies of which were
sent to Secretaries Knox and Slim
son, read;
The stupidity of removing de-
fenses from Manila and declaring
it an open city with the expecta-
ton that Japan would respect its
civil population finds its expected
answer in the death and destruction
wrought there today.
Such profound lack of realism
after Pearl Harbor raises questions
in the peoples mind as to whether
Army and Navy heads are capable
OF promptly learning the ominous
and obvious lessons Pearl Harbor
taught.
The people are trying to under
stand and overlook the neglects at
Pearl Harbor. They will not fail
to be profoundly disturbed by the
evidence at Manila today that we
are still so naive as to trust the
Japs-and actually clear away de-
lenses at Manila to enable them tn
destroy the civil population at will.

to learn what can be done to safe
guard the lives and properties of
cities within range of enemy

They were DR.. Juan Fermin Figue-

and DR. J. A. Clark of the Lily Hill
dalgo Hospital in the Cuban capital.
After comforting with Col. Lemuel
Bolles. the physicians said they
would stay as long as necessary to
become familiar with the civilian
defense setup here.
I'VE lost no Cubans in Pearl Har-
bor," said DR.. Figueroa. but We feel
the same spirit Of action We have
observed in this country. We are
proud of the fact that Cuba was
the first country in the Western
Hemisphere to declare war against
the Axis after your nation was
attacked"
