TAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY, MAY 26, 1940. DR. BAXTER TELLS E Duty to Stay Out of Current War Awards Are An nounced. "Our function ai nation Is to remain out of the present European conflict and at the end of the second world war save democracy for the world." This was the opening message Dr. Bruce Baxter, president of Willamette university, gave to 199 graduating seniors at the 47th annual commencement exercises in the Medford senior high school auditorium Friday night. A capacity crowd was on hand to hear Dr. Baxter's address and enjoy the program, After sounding that state ment that the United' States should refrain from becoming belligerently Involved In the old world slaughter. Dr. Baxter told the graduating students they would soon be faced with the decision of making one of four choices for the form of government this nation should embrace. He listed fascism, nanism communism and democracy as the types of government now prevalent in the world, and he pleaded with the students to "think carefully, definitely and deeply" before making their choice. Dr. Baxter bitterly condemn ed the three "ism" forms of government Of fascism, he de clared tint "Italy won the first world war but lost peace; the rights of the Individual have been trampled underfoot and religion has been subordinated under the dictatorship of one man." He said of nazlism: "Germany lost the first world war, and out of that defeat came nazl ism with its primacy of blood and hate. True, there has been little or no unemployment in Germany, but those men have been laboring In munitions fac tories." Communism, Dr. Baxter stated, changed its emphasis and basis so often that it was hard to define. However, he said, there was little or nothing to praise about this form of government. Dr. Baxter said that he hoped the thinking person would choose the democratic form of government, but he warned of the definite cost entailed In democracy. He asked that the students make a choice of in telligent citizenship and be will ing to pay the price for it, and that unless it be very wise and very good all else goes for naught.

FIRST WEEK FOR RED CROSS FUND Up to noon yesterday, when the final audit for the week was made, only $686 had been re reived in Jackson county's Red Cross campaign to raise S2400 toward the national quota of SiG.000.000 for the relief of vic tims of the war in Europe. The figure was announced by George T. Frey, county chairman to whom all funds are turned over. The sum raised to date, Mr. Frey explained, came almost tntirely from Medford, with a sprinkling of voluntary contri butions from suburban resi dents. No funds had been re ceived yet from Ashland, he said, nor the rural communities of the county where it takes a little longer to organize a drive tnan in cities. The formal cam paign of solicitation began in Medford last Tuesday. The campaign will be re sumed tomorrow under the di rection of Ben E. Harder and his executive committee of five members, one each from the five Medford service clubs. As it will not be possible to solicit every person in the city or rural communities, Red Cross workers suggested yesterday that contributions be sent to or left at any local bank.
