LEGITIMATE ATTACK
BOMBING OF GUERNICA
BRITISHER'S JUSTIFICATION
(Received May 4, 11.55 a.m.)
LONDON, May 3.
'Major Hugh Pollard, sporting editor of "Country Life," in a'letter to "The Times," contends that the bombing of Guernica was not an attack on an unimportant civilian town. Guernica, he says, is almost as great a centre of small arms manufacture as Eibar, and small workers outside the numerous main factories make arms manufacturing the dominant industry of
Vizcaya. Thus Eibar and Guernica are legitimate objectives.
It was Major Pollard who helped General Franco, the rebel commander-in-chief, to escape from Tenerifte on the eve of the Spanish revolution.
