think of American boys who were
placed in greater danger by the in

The bombing of Rome. he said,
was undertaken with the primary
objective of saving American and
British lives.
The president recalled that, with
the aid of the Italians. Germany
had DESTROYED 1000 churches, hos
pitals and libraries in Great Britain.
He said that he did not believe in
destruction for retaliation, but that
destruction for saving the lives of
our men at war was an inevitable
necessity.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked whether
the bombing of Rome was the full
fillment of the warning he and
Prime Minister Churchill made to
the people of Italy to surrender or
die" he replied that the two things
should not be confused, because
one was the problem of an entire
nation and the other the problem
of city venerated all over the
world but used for military pur-
poses.
