X013 FOUItTKKlT MEDFORD MAIE TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1941. DR. POSTON TELLS ROTARY CLUB OF LIFE IN ECUADOR An Intimate gUmpsa into life in Ecuador and the itrategic military Importance of that South American country was given members of Medford Rot ary club Tuesday by Dr. R. E. Poston, cf Ashland, at the reg ular luncheon-meeting at Hotel Medford. "In Ecuador, as In other South American counties, the 'good neighbor policy has had Its ef fect and this little nation has become one of America's war allies. This Is highly important because of the strategic location of Ecuador In relation to the Panama Canal, the fact that this country owns the off-shore Gal apagos islands and due to the sizeable German population. There are no Japanese In this country," Dr. Poston told Ro- tarians. Ecuador has a population of nearly three million people, mostly primitive Indians. The country has a widely varied cli mate and is economically self- contained as far as food stuff is concerned. Petroleum, fruit and gold are the principal re sources, according to Dr. Pos ton. In an introductory discussion on the current Japanese sltun tion, Frank J. Newman told members of the Medford Rotary club that there are now approx imately 190,000 Japs in the United States, 100,000 of whom are citizens. More than 70,000 of these Japanese reside In Cal ifornia and account for 75 per cent of the state's produce crops. Relative naval strengths of this nation and Japan was also outlined by Mr. Newman.
