Chile Aroused

Santiago, June 4, The bombing of Paris, during which a bomb hit the residence of the Counsellor to the Chilean Legation, has aroused public opinion in this country, It is being stressed that the Allies did not start bombing open towns and that therefore any reprisals would be fully justified, Senor Adberto MacKenna, Chairman of the Chilean Branch of the France-America Society, stated to~ day that the bombing was worthy of the brigands who make it a policy of attacking weak countries and defenceless towns.

The Chilean Government, he added, must protest to Hitler against the violation of Chilean sovereignty caused by the damaging of the Counsellor's residence—Havas.
