IN BANQUET TALK
Next Conflict Will Come
Suddenly Declares Col.
Tinker Medford Hospi
tality, Cooperation Lauded
'The world Is going to have an
other war. whether It wants to or
not, regardless of our last efforts In
the 'war to end war'," said Col C.
L. Tinker, commanding officer of the
air corps at Hamilton field, in an ad
dress at the Hotel Medford last night,
at which the CCC officers and the
Jackson County Chamber of Com
merce were hosts to the officer of !
the 31st bombardment squadron at;
a banquet. j
"Peace won't eslst can't exist, un-
til the human mind la trained, until
there Is no longer a need for civil or
world, courts. That condition hasn't
existed yet. and probably will not
exist for some time. That Is why we
(the bombing squadron) are here.
We're here as government insurance,
to protect the lives and property of '
our citizens," the colonel said.
Will Come Suihh'iily
In reviewing the possibility of the ,
next war. Colonel Tinker said that
It will not be preceded by long dip-
lomatlc harangues. "We'll know the
next war Is here when bombs drop ;
out of the air on San Francisco ;
or on Toklo or Paris. We'll be ready !
when the clock strikes. Then is when j
we, the army men, will pay off the j
dividends on the Insurance you cltl- '
zens have been Buying for so many j
years."
The colonel, dressed in smart civ
ilian grey Instead of the customary j
uniform of his rank, went on to de- !
plore the present war-like attitude I
In Europe, and verbally frowned upon j
any suggestion that this country
should over participate In a war of
Invasion. But, he pointed out, this
Is the richest country In the world,
in raw materials and commodities. ;
and other world powers are covetous.
That, he said, is why we must be
prepared.
The serious side of his nature was
not the only one that lie revealed,
and In response to the toast of Wm.
Bolger as toastmaster, delighted hit i
audience with well chosen words of i
humor, and in thanking the people
of Medford for what he termed his
splendid reception here.
Hospitality Praised
"I have been many places," he said,
"and I have been to many gathering;
in many towns, but never have J
found the universal accord between
the civilian and the army men thai
I have found In Medford. My men
and X wilt always have a warm spot
In our hearts for this city, and that 1
Is not a figure of speech. I mean It .
sincerely. I want particularly to ex
tend thanks to the Chamber of Com
merce, the mayor, the people, and to
the CCC officers."
Toastmaster Bolger Introduced
Majors Myers, Smith and Duncon,
and Capt. Ernest W. Gruhn, the lat
ter responding for Major Owen, who
was unable to be present to represent
the civilian conservation corps, being
out on an Inspection trip.

Tinker, the bombardment officers

have needed to slug all night to
satisfy the men. His "Buddy, Can
You Spare a Dime" was particularly
