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. Jack
son County Chamber of Com
merce or the Red Cross office
in the courthouse. It was em
phasized again that if the nun
(ircds of thousands of sick and
wounded war refugees are to
be helped at all, the Red Cross
fund must be raised as quickly
as possible.
Contributions may be ear
marked for use in any one
ci-untry or for the exclusive
hssistance of children.
