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.

Contrary to the usual procedure, there was no rush from the Press
conference banquet last night to the basketball game. With Stassen
as a speaker, it was not thought desirable to rush the program through
in time to permit attendance at the contest.
Many of those who were so delighted with Quincy Scott’s entertain
ing talk on cartooning Friday morning did not know that Mr. Scott is
a veteran of the lecture platform.
Mr. and Mrs. E. 13. Aldrich of the Pendleton East Oregonian were
here with their daughter, Eleanor, and son-in-law, J. W. (Bud) For
rester, published of the North Bend Harbor. Mrs. Forrester is a former
