THREATS OF WAR
(Tb the Editor.) Sir,—According to cable reports the ex-President of U.S.A. (Mr. Hoover) said that if the cities of France and Britain were bombed the U.S.A. would probably enter a European war. Why, it may be asked, did not Mr. Hoover or the U.S.A. make a similar threat when the cities of Spain and China were being razed to the ground by bombs? Are not the lives and cities of Spaniards and Chinese worthy of the same compassionate, humanitarian interest as those of France and Britain, even to the extent of threatening war? —I am, etc., PUZZLED.
