Hull Seeks Humanizing War With Civilian Bombing Probe
Secretary of State Hull has begun a program to humanize warfare by stopping aerial bombings of civilians. Officials say he is devoting much time to the subject after reports of attacks on Spanish and Chinese cities. Davis proposed neutralized zones around open towns to immunize civilians, while Welles noted Davis speaks in Red Cross capacity. The plan awaits congressional action, with Pittman warning of strong opposition to city bombings in the Far East.
