PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. BEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1934. RED CROSS MEET 'Organization Has Worked to Develop Feeling of Re sponsibility in Misfortune of Others,' He Says WASHINGTON, April 10. In 8 message to the Red Cross annual con vention. President Roosevelt said to day the . organisation had "worked to develop among our people a feel ing of responsibility In the misfor tunes of others" and the activities "may have a more lar-reachlng effect than Is generally apparent." The messages, sent from the yacht Nourmahal. wis road to the conven tion after Henry Morgenthau, Sr., had appealed for support of the Red Cross In order to make It " a. school where the brotherhood ' of man Is not only taught but practiced." The Presldent'a message follows: "Honorable John Barton Payne, ''Chairman American Red Cross, "Washington, O. C. "I am sorry that circumstances aro such that I cannot be present, at the opening of the National Red Cross convention. At the same time I do not want you to think that because i am permitting myself to enjoy a brief vacation I am not deeply Inter ested In 'the proceedings and work of your convention. Not All Apparent. - !'Ae t have thought over what thl convention represent, it- has occurred to me that the activities of the Red Cross may have a more far-reaching effect than Is generally apparent. You have worked to develop among our people a feeling of responsibility In the misfortune of others. You arc the instrument of expression of a great group of Americans who have given generously for human welfare In times of distress or emergency. The guidance which you have given has been practical, woll-planned and far-sighted. '. -"These are accomplishments which we look for In other phases of our national life. A sense of responsi bility for the welfare of others sure ly we need tint In the men who are leaders In our prlvste as well as In our public life. Well-planned and far-sighted measures to assure this welfare euroly we need them, too. "It seems clesr to me, then, that In serving the Red Cross you are also aiding by example those similar great causes for which this nation Is gaily striving. "I m happy, therefore, to offer to Judge Payne and to you all, my con gratulations and my wishes for the continued success of your generous activities. "Franklin D. Roosevelt." diving Listed. James L. Pleser, vlee-chalrman of the organization, said 89,000,000 bush els of wheat and 844,093 bales of oot- ton, valued at 179,000,000 had been distributed to the needy last year. John Barton Payne, national chair man, opened the convention sttena ed by 738 delegates from all sections of the country and many Island pos sessions. Morgenthau. father of the tressury secretary, said. "Let ua be up to daU. and make every effort' to destroy that modem, dangerous monster. Intolerance." THIS 'GOD'S COUNTRY' Southern Oregon, trhree yean ago, made such an Impression upon a Ut ile high achool girt from Albu querque, N. M., that she recently wrote an article about the region, entitling j It. "Ood'a Country." The article Binned "Ima Traveler." appeared In ' the high school magazine In that city and Is Illustrated with pictures of Crater Lake, the Lady of the Woods and the Redwood highway. The author, whose real name is Betty Shannon. Is a niece of Mrs. C. O. Larlson of this city, and a daugh ter of the late B. t. Shannon, who made his home here at one time and was employed by the United States forest service. He left Med ford 20 years ago. His daughter, now a sen ior In high school, motored through this section three years ago, gaining the Inspiration for the article, G. 0. P. Pennsylvania,! Opens Campaign for Re election With Slap at Roosevelt Inflation. Policy WINDOW GLASS We sell window gloss and will replace your broken windows reasonably. Trowbridge Cib inet Works WASHINGTON, April 10. (UP) The Roosevelt administration's poli cies threaten to "carry us over .the brink of Inflation to complete chaos" Senator David A. fleed, R. Pa., de clared yesterday. Pledging hlmsel to continue to support the president when "I be lieve him to be right and to oppose him when I believe him to be wrong," Reed denounced many administra tion policies as "futile and fantastic,"' "poisonous," "wasteful and danger ous to American civilization." May Bo Keynote. Reed Is a leading conservative Re publican spokesman In the senate. His platform seemed likely to be tak en as a keynote by many Republicans In the congressional campaigns which will provide their first tests of popu lar opinion In the Illinois primaries this week. "In the name of national recovery." Reed said, "the present administra tion has launched the country on a course which, unless soon checked may well carry us over the brink of Inflation to complete cbaoa nd which even now mortgages the future of our youth and wastes wildly the slowly accumulated savings and, pre sent earnings of all the people. Sk to Change Course. 'A little band of men In Washing ton are seeking covertly, to change our course as a nation, to Increase the power of the central government and to substitute for Individual Initi ative a government control of all ag ricultural production and all busi ness activity. I am agalns't that and I can never support policies which to me seem likely to lead us In that direction. "Deluged by promises of magic cures for ancient Ills, America Is be ing fed poisons from which It will take decades to recover. "I call upon the people of Pennsyl vania to Join me In a stern and sin cere protest against the wasteful pol icies which, carried Into effect with no warning, without submission to the people, threaten their happiness nnd security and Invite disaster for the nation." Announces Creed. - Declaring he was fighting "for the liberties, the Justice, the domestic tranquility, the common defense and the general welfare which the consti tution guarantees to all Americans," Reed set forth his creed: "I do not believe that we can spend our way to prosperity. , ,"I am unwilling to see destroyed in four years a civilization which has been centuries In the building. "I am opposed to fascism ns strong ly as to communism. "I believe that, given liberty of ex pression and action, and a chance to vote freely and honestly the peo- pie can be depended on to find a so- lutton for all of their problems. At all costs they must be told the truth. "I believe that governments and ' men who cannot stand criticism are : thoee who need It most, i "I believe that only through de- liberate discussion can we come to I sound, constructive conclusions." .
