PAGE TEN ' MEDFORD MXIE TRIBTOE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THEDNESDAT. XUGTJST 28, 1935. U.S. Countrv Will Be Able to Maintain Position if All Provisions of Resolution Are Rigidly Enforced Br Bert rand KumpII (Earl Russell, PhiloBopher, Bclcntlst and Author. (Copyright, 1935, by The Associated Pre 98) TELEGRAPH HOUSE, HARTINO PETERS FX ELD. England, Aug. 28. I think America Is wis in de termining on neutrality. II I were an American I would support the meas ure which have been before congreaa with a view toward securing noupar titanshlp ol America In European quarrels. I should. In fact, wish to ace Eng land adopting a similar policy. I think It will be possible for America to remain neutral providing no muni tions are supplied to either side and other provisions of the recent neu trality resolution are rigidly enforced. Neutrality Imperative At this stage of the world's hlatory. when war Is likely to destroy civiliza tion and all the European powers that engage In It, neutrality appears to me imperative to the Interests of civilization. I have hoped that the campaign In Ethiopia may prove so burdensome and unpopular as to cause the down fall of Mussolini which would prove the beginning of a better stage of af fairs In Europe whereaa the probable effect of a war against fascism Will spread fascism to countries now free from It or alternately collapse all or derly government. On these grounds I hold that the British government Is wise n moving slowly, since to my mind yie most Important thing Is to avoid a general war. Italy Has No Case On one hand, I feel, of course, that Italy's behavior Is totally Indefensible. The Italian cause has only demerits. A esse doesn't exist. On the othere, I don't think it will be possible to atop Italy except through threat, perhaps even the ac tuahty of war. If there were war on this issue It would very likely become a general war. I do not think Ethiopia la suf ficiently Important to Justify the risk of such an appalling catastrophe. It is said we should at all costs up hold the covenants of the league, but since Germany and Japan left the league, it has become merely one group of powers In the balance of power. War in behalf of the league, there fore. Is hardly distinguishable from the old balance of power war. PLAN CELEBRATION PORT ORFORD OF SALEM, Ore.

(SpL) "The recovery from economic doldrums and the return of prosperous condi tions must depend in large part on Initiative of private Industries." Franklin D. Roosevelt. This is part of the text of a con gratulatory message from the presi dent to Gilbert E. Gable of the Port Orford Dock and Terminal corpora tion here. In connection with the opening of the new lakwater dock and the only natural deep water har bor In a thousand, miles of the west coast. The combined projects of six cor. poratlons. opening at Port Oxford un der Mr. Gable, are said to constitute the largest private projects of new development in the United States at the present time. "In fact." said Mr. Gable, "It Is probbably the only one, as moat of the money now being spent privately in America Is being spent for rehabilitation, repairs or extensions to existing plants." An elaborate program on Septem ber 2 will mark Inauguration of the new harbor, beginning with the for mal address of Governor Charles H. Martin and the ceremonies of offi cially opening the harbor at 10 a. m. through a program of contests and races in the early afternoon, and a formal reception to the governor at the administration building at 4 p. m. which will be open to the public. At 8 p. m., under the direction of Mrs. Gilbert E. Gable, who has had wide experience in directing pageants. a wedding will be celebrated at the base of the new dock as a means of solemnlng the union of the sea and the land, under the title "The Wed ding of Neptune and Daphne." Neptune will approach from the sea on an elaborately decorated fishing ship, "The Sunset," while on shore Daphne repulses the advances of Apollo and is changed by Zeus Into a i laurel tree the laurel, of course. Is I first cousin to the Oregon myrtle; and as Daphne becomes the Goddess of Earth, Neptune approaches by way of the new dock and pays ardent court, whereupon, a wedding cere mony Is held, with a portentious ell max. and with the final words, "What man hath thust Joined together, we pray that God may not put asunder." There will be 2000 guests present, acceptances of Invitations having been received from Rufus C. Holman, state treasurer; Ernest Bnell, secre tary of state; Corporation Commis sioner Charles H.
