Japan claimed it in the 1930s. China was their sphere. We disputed that. That. Mr. President. is and outmoded theory that will no longer hold. There is one justification and only one for the use of force. and I mean military force. That is when one country attempts to overthrow. overtly or covertly. their neighbor. And indeed we had a justification 3 and 4 years ago when Nicaragua was clearly trying to overthrow the Government in El Salvador. by the supplying of arms. refugees. communications. logistics. In every sense they were attempting to overthrow that government. That is not an argument we have used lately.
