Vatican City, Dee. 24 (Of
ficlal broadcast recorded by (JP))
Pope Pius XII, in his annual
Christmas eve message to the
world, laid down a five point
plan for future world peace, pre
dicated upon "an adequate and
progressive limitation or arma
ments. The pontiff, broadcasting over
the Vatican radio, said that In
the world of the future there
must be no place for:
1. Any kind of aggression.
2. . Oppression of minorities.
3. Designing nations seeking
a monopoly on economic wealth.
4. Total war or armaments
races.
8. Persecution directed
against religious sects or
churches because faith "is one
of the rights of mankind."
There must be a progressive
limitation of armaments," he
said. 'True respect for treaties
must be observed."
Strident Contrast
Chrlstmastide rejoicing, the
pope said, "resounds in strident
contrast with the events about
us whose roar over hill and dale
creates a terrifying fracas, de
vastating land and homes . . .
and throwing millions of men
and their families into unhappl
ness, misery and death."
He said he looked with an
guish not only on the horrors of
the struggle but at its wasteful
cost.
While the health and strength
of youth are weakened by "the
present scourge," his holiness
lamented, debts are rising to
undreamed of levels and must
Inevitably lead to a contraction
of "the forces of production in
the civil and social field."
The message was the pope's
customary reply to Christmas
greetings from the College of
Cardinals.

AT YULE MEETING
An earnest plea for the peo
ple of America to be worthy of
the responsibilities tnat are
theirs during the emergency and
for America to "win the peace"
after winning the war, was
voiced by Dean U. G. DuBach
of Oregon State College at the
Medford Rotary club's annual
Christmas party Tuesday. Ro
ta nans and their wives filled
the Hotel Medford banquet room
to enjoy a special yuletlde pro
gram and hear the inspiring
message from the educator.
Other nations of the world
have failed in achieving per
manent peace through the ages,
Dean DeBach reminded the Ro
tary audience. America is now
on trial and it is the privilege of
our generation to become cus
todians of the American way
for future ages.
The speaker reviewed the ec
onomic and social progress of
this nation, pointing out that
America, with six percent of the
world's area has unbounded ma
terial wealth the greatest num
ber of automobiles, radios, tel
ephones and those things with
which civilization - has been
measured. He lauded the Job of
our forefathers in welding all
laces into a great American
people, offering unlimited op
portunity for education and ec
onomic, political and social ad
vancement. Contrast was drawn by Dean
DuBach between America and
many of the so-called "have not"
nations. South America was es
pecially stressed, with emphasis
Riven to serious German and
Japanese influences counter to
our way of life.
Japan, America's present en
emy and great menace, is a land
that is over-populated and under-supplied.
The annual income
from average farms of two and
one-half acres Is but $90, Du
Bach said, while the average
mortgage on these farms is $210.
The regimentation of youth in
axis nations was pointed out
a movement which has brought
to such a tragic climax the strug
E'e for dominance on the part
cf Germany, Japan and Italy.
This has progressed while we
have been asleep, the educator
snid.
Richard Bishop, youthful vi
olinist, entertained with Mrs.
Allene Maddox at the piano.
Christmas carols were also
sung by the group with Wilson
Wait as director.
A stirring plea for support of
the Red Cross money-raising
campaign was voiced by E C.
Corn. C. I. Hays was program
chairman. Stan Philips was
chairman for the netting and
John Day introduced the speaker.

vited to view it, the hotel ex

The scene shows shepherds
tending their flock in a hillside
field as the tiding of the birth
of Christ is brought to them.
A large painting by L. E. Crowe
depicts the heralding angels in
the heaven.
The setting, which required
considerable effort and skill to
build, is flooded In special il
lumination which enhances the
scene at night The idea, Mr.
Watson said, came from chap
ter 2, verse 8 of St Luke which
tells of the shepherds and the
multitude in the heaven saying:
"Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace, good-will
toward men."
