Importance of Four Freedoms To Europe Stressed by Gratke By BOBOL.EE BROPHY The United States has embarked upon the greatest task that any country has ever faced—the dis semination of democratic peace .throughout the world. Charles E. Gratke, foreign editor of the Chris tian Science Monitor, told the Ore gon press conference yesterday. He emphasized that the task would require “the inspired vision of all of us." The United States must develop a sense of responsi bility for the destinies of man, and : interpretative reporting of the > world news will aid in arousing a , sense of this responsibility, Gratke said. Other Countries Important j The duty of the American pub lishers is to realize that the for eign countries in their present sit i uation are important and to strengthen the concept of Amer | ica’s role in the world, he said. “The important thing is not that . we have the atom bomb or great industries but the fact that Amer ica has come to stand for moral values in the world. The four free doms are words to us, but they are life to the people in Europe, oiai ke added. "During the war our right as correspondents was established on a basis of right and not on a basis of suffrage. World news is an area that belongs to newspapers and when this privilege is infringed in any way it constitutes censorship,” Gratke explained. Facts reported out of their con text have no meaning and must be accompanied by historical back ground and interpretive reporting, in order to have meaning to the reader, the editor said. He com mented that there was currently a great dearth of interpretation con cerning the Marshall plan. Editorials Needed Only through honest, unbiased interpretation, and "an editorial awareness of the spot we’re in” will the people of the United States realize the situation and their responsibilities in helping the world, he declared. Gratke was introduced by George S. Turnbull, dean of the school of journalism. Dean Turnbull was Gratke’s journalism professor when the latter attended the University 28 years ago. Red Cross Serves Many People In Lane County, Reports Dean By BETTY L.AGOM AKSINO Red Cross aid to Lane county and the University in recent years has exceeded local donations, Karl W. Onthank, dean of personnel ad ministration, said yesterday. Seventy-five per cent of all Red Cross funds collected here are kept and used in Lane county, he said. “In addition,” Onthank said, “the national organization returns far more money for use in Lane coun ty than the- 25 per cent it appro priates from the local drives. Veteran Aid With veterans making up one third of the student body, he added, a large portion of the local funds are spent on veteran welfare. The Red Cross supplements the thin fi nancial margin of many married veterans in emergencies such as sickness and fire. Other 1947 projects of the or ganization included veteran loans, emergency relief throughout the county. One thousand children wore taught to swim under the Red Cross. All donations to the Red Cross must be directly specified for Red Cross use, according to treaties and charters affecting the organization. Charter Bans United Funds The Red Cross is forbidden to share or delegate, in whole or part, any obligations imposed on it or responsibilities connected with them. For this reason, the Red Cross cannot join a united fund plan. Franklin D. Roosevelt outlined the situation in a speech in 1942. “The character of the Red Cross and its responsibilities under inter national treaty and congressional charter," he said, “are such that the national interests will best be served if the Red Cross maintains direct contact with the people for the membership and support nec sary for its work at home and abroad.

Aalbue of the Central Lutheran church will officiate in a candlelight communion service during the regular meeting of the Lutheran Student association Sun day evening.
