A. Goode, Vice-President Mrs. Sylvia Southard, Department Secretary Mrs. Vern Whitcomb, Depart ment Junior Activities Chairman Mrs. Laurico Helming, and many prominent Legionnaires. Commander James Young and with Unit President Mrs. Claude Baker, Department Welfare Chairman Mrs. Ned Dixon, Mrs. Earl Ullrich, Mrs. Arthur Mid land, Mrs. James Young, Mrs. t Clinton Gorthy, all local or de partment officers, attended the big conference held at Grants Pass Wednesday. Department of ficers and those of the district were in charge. Capt. and Mrs. H. Meiring of Medford nro dis trict commander and president. Another conference was held at Marshfield Friday. During their visit in Roseburg, Commander Alfred Kelly and the large dele gation of prominent Legionnaires visited the hospital. In the eve ning Commander Kelly spoke at the armory on National Defense. We have been taught, Comman der Kelly said, that the U. S. is isolated from other nations. After reading the papers, studying U. S. history, interfering with colo nization, supervising trouble in South America, pulling down the Boxer rebellion, sending morch 1 nntjsliips to the four corners of IflJJTpftrth. becoming the creditor pf all nations and owning 75 pop cent of the gold bullion of the world, can any nation so great and idealistic as that, can any one say we are isolated? Today war is not on the old ba sis. It is not between nation and . nation. The first world war, he said, was not fought in vain. It was a genuine challenge to de mocracy of the German peoples. Commander Kelly pointed out that Germany has had the desire to dominate the world since long before Hitler was heard of. If Great Britain should fall and Germany must find a rich nation to pay her war debt and we have I rrr. . t ,u l.,ll!nr, 75 per cent of the cold bullion and we are fat and defenseless, if there is any ouestion where she will expand, where she will go to find money, if the American peo ple can't see and won't come to the point they deserve to lose what tliev have, he said. The axis powers will take what thev want if Germany wins, he pointed out. Africa could be made a base if Germany wins and it is closer to South America than we are, he said. Last time the war was a draw, he continued. Germany called a halt but she was unscathed. There was no rehabilitation as in France. They won and knew it. he said. Britain, he said, must make their lives safe from the un ending challenge from genera linn to generation from those un willing to live In harmony. Peo ple have no conceDtion of the . danger of our position, Comman der Kellv believes. Our defenses have gone to "pot." he said. We didn't have enough air defenses to defend the citv of Portland. Our armed defenses stood in comparison to Russia's as 2 inches Is to 18 feet. Now 17 billions have been anoropriated. he reminded. Tt is better to heln. he caution ed, than for our rhildren to lose the right to worship, to philoso phize as thev please. Now that the national guard Is put into federal service. Comman der Kelly said thev are away from the control of the state. The U. S. expects each state to take over its own home defense. Now that we are no longer paving for the state militia, we have that monev In reserve. Did you know, he renlied. that there is a uniformed German bund In Portland? We could be sabotaged as we never dreamed, he challenged. The American I.e clnn does not want a state gimrd for themselves. Tie said, they have made enough sacrifices. But thev are willing to make the sacrifice If they are needed, he pledged. We know from the past that It takes months to train. There Is now a law introduced in the stale legislature to care of this, he said. Get in touch with your leg islators to see that a state home defense project be put through with no delay. We have forgotten what brought us out of those past ex periences as Legionnaires. We have seemed to forget the spirit ual backgrounds as given us by tuir parents, he thought. We have become so rushed we have even forgotten to become acquainted with our children. Spiritualism is the background of a powerful na tion, he said. Are we giving prop er consideration to the purpose ot life? Mrs. Meiring announced to the unit that a national defense coun cil will take place at Roseburg upon the return of Mrs. William Horsfall of Marshfield to Wash ington, D. C, where the national defense conference is taking place. All patriotic women's groups are taking part in this and this year it is headed by the na tional auxiliary president, Mrs. Louis J. Lemstra. Nearly 1,000 delegates coming from every state and representing more than 1,000,000 organized women are expected to attend. All those women who are mem bers will not wish to let' their membership drop from such an organization for the common good. Umpqua unit was happy to turn in a full overthe-top mom bershiD to District President Vi vian Meiring, There are still a few members who have not turn ed in their dues. You will leave these with Mrs. Ferricr before January 30th won't you? You will be dropped then. We want all the old and new members in this, the largest patriotic organization of women in the world. Over a half million members. Our Laura Goode. department president, and Mrs. Sylvia Southard, vice presi dent and membership chairman, are urging everyone to send her membership in this week. MR.
