WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. (UP)
The United States speeded its vast rearmament program today to assure this country, or any country in the western hemisphere, adequate protection against foreign aggression.
The first public exposition of that policy was made by a state department official last night in a special radio address to Latin-America and rebroadcast in the United States. Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles reaffirmed the principles of the Monroe Doctrine and, in effect, served notice on the world that the United States' defense program was preparing to preserve, if necessary, the new world nations "from any threat of attack."
In recent weeks state department officials have contended that this country's foreign policy for the immediate future would deal primarily with increasing cooperation among the republics of North and South America.
That policy coincides with the naval building program, underway, greater air equipment and the re-opening of long disused armament plants and naval yards.
