PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. WEDNESDAY. JULY 17. 1940. ROTARIANS TOLD CHANGE NEEDED FOR PROSPERITY Frank Jenkins Says Wealth Comes From Production, Not Planned Scarcity "All Wealth Comes from Production." was the subject of an address by Frank Jen kins. Klamath Falls publisher, before the Medford Rotary club Tuesday noon t Hotel Med ford. A complete reversal of the presant policy of "borrow ing against the future," and immediate discarding of the economically unsound doctrine of scarcity," were urged by the speaker. Wealth should actually be measured in the three basic necessities of life food, shelter and clothing, Mr. Jenkins point ed out. Entertainment might well be added as a fourth essen tial, he said. Xlamath Co. Cited. As proof of the assertion tiiat prosperity gees handln-hand with labor and production, the speaker cited the example of Klamath county. In this area, the dollnr vulue of crops for the period from 1930 to 1935 exceed the value of crops for the preceding five years by two and one half times. Lum ber production likewise in creased 10 per cent for the corresponding period.

The fact that this natlin has been "weaving daisies in her hair and dancing in the dew" is accountable for America's present inadequate defense, ac cording to Mr. Jenkins. "Ap propriations alone cannot sale guard this country; mon"y must be translated into battleships, airplanes, tanks, guns and am munition and that cills. for in creased production," he said. Bitter post war competition from trade-hungry Europe will tax the resourcefulness of Amer ican industry, Mr. Jenkins re minded his audience. Virtual slave labor will mean low prices in world markets and this coun try can compete only if there is increased efficiency In In dustry. Two Crest Boons. Two cieat contributions to human life were the invention of the steam engine, which in stituted the factory system in England, and the origination of mass production has brought higher wages, lower prices and more of the good things of life for the people of this nation, Jenkins pointed out. Concluding, Mr. Jenkins brief ly cited some of the limitations and restrictions that have been placed on production and urr.cd that they be removed so that American industry may survive in a highly competitive world after the war. Preceding the address, ihe Rev. Herald Gardner entertain ed the members of the club with on amusing fish story. PRESIDENT RESTORES RETIREMENT PAYMENTS Washington. July 17.

The reports covered all phases of the defense program to date, including such topics as protection of consumers, acqui sition of strategic materials, pro vision of adequate equipment and transportation for troop movements in event of war, the keying of agriculture into the defense picture and training of skilled workers. A report from the production division, headed by William S. Knudsen, said the contracts cleared since June 6 were di vided $1,380,575,404 for the navy and $271,316,089 for the army.

Ferfcnal Usee on the nation's price structure has been the object of the pri mary efforts of the price stabil ization division under Leon Henderson. "Analysis of both the ma terials and resources have been coupled with consideration of measures for control and price stabilization," Henderson re ported to the chief executive. "Numerous proposals for price regulation are being studied." The agricultural division, di rected by Chester Davis, is working on the problem of lo cating plants for defense pro duction so as to utilize surplus labor, particularly in agricul tural areas, to avoid "uneco nomic concentration of indus try." Miss Harriet Elliott, In charge of consumer protection, slid her division had laid the groundwork for an extensive educational campaign to "mo bilize public sentiment behind the idea that the civilian popu lation must be prepared physic ally to meet defense responsi bilities placed upon it by an emergency." From Ralph Budd, of the transportation division, the President received word that specific recommendations have been drawn up for the acquisi tion of "very substantial num bers of special rolling stock for handling troops and their equipment."

For some reason which the company did not attempt to ex plain, burglars operate earlier in the far west. San Francisco reported more breaks between 2 and 5 p. m. than at any other time, and Los Angeles and other western centers found the ma jority occurring between 6 and 8 p. m. This goes for Hono lulu, too. The majority of the police reports studied during the sur vey contained the phrase "fam ily away for the evening," and "family away overnight" or "family away on vacation" also was common.
