(I AT MATHER FIELD Fl Memorial Day Address Stresses Need Now Ex ercises In Park. "Only 1 we start thinking and talking and planning now can we prepare for form of world government that will give the people ni the world these three things that are essential to any decent civilization; one, real and lasting peace; two, freedom and equal opportunity for Individual citizens, and three, business and Industrial prosperity that will mean Jobs for individual citizens, that will give them a chance to work for their own and their families' security." This was the keynote of a Memorial day message delivered at city park yesterday by Floyd K. Dover of Grants Pass, past state commander of the Dis abled American Veterans of the World war, following a patriotic parade in which social, fratern al, civic and patriotic organiza tions participated. Mr. Dover, declaring that "we are here mostly in memory of the men who at this very mo ment are dying for their coun try," urged that we Immediately make plans for writing the peace treaty and to provide the world with some form of regu lar, organized government. Unless we do this now, If we wait to do our thinking until after the war Is over, the likely consequences, he said, would probably be "a treaty like most of the treaties of the past, which will sow the seeds of another war; a form of government based on bloody revolution and totalitarianism of one kind or another, or a form of semi-gov- ernment that will have very little chance of preventing an other war." Mr. Dover advised that this form of government so much needed in the post-war world is embodied in the constitution of the United States of America, a form of government that guar anteed tor its people the three things "essential to any decent civilization." "Unfortunately for us," he said, "tha people of the world didn't adopt that form of gov ernment and put it into effect in time to prevent this war. But we can, if we begin laying our plans now, adopt it and put it Into effect in time to prevent another war after this one." Wars are caused, Mr. Dover stated, because for thousands of years the world has tried to manage relations between its In dividual nations by a system which not even the most back ward nation would dream of trying to use to manage rela tions between Its individual citi zens. "A system." he declared. "In which each Individual nation says in effect, "I will not abide by any rules or laws unless I choose to. I will do as I please, when I please, no matter how much harm it may do to anyone else.' " The speaker said: "We know that human beings can't live with each otner, trade with each other and get along successfully with v-ach other without some form of regular, organized gov ernment, yet we expect the na tions of the world, which are made up of hum.n beings, to live with tsch othtr, and trade with each other without any form of gcvernmet.t whatso ever." Mr. Dover si Id that at times. In desperation, ve have worked out pence plans and put them Into operation, such at the League of Nations but th.it all vi wirse pians nave been suc cessful only within limits. "Be yond these limits they huve aura me moment hey wt-re faced with the main ptoblem for which they were cre.ited t J prevent war." he declared. They failed, he asserted, "be cause noi one of thim was backed by a form of govern ment, the thing that we ill know is absolutely necessary I. human beings or groups of human be ings are to get along with each other successfully." Prior to Mr. Dover's address. Miss Ort Cox read Gen. John A. Logan's first Mrmo-ial day order, given on May 30, 1868; Lincoln's Gettysburg address was delivered by Davts Dawson, member of the Medford senior high school debating team, and representatives of veteran and patriotic organizations decor ated vacant chairs in honor of their departed comrades.

Gates, Jackson csunty war bond sales chairman announced yesterday. Telegrams received In this city lata Friday from Mult nomah county indicated their willingness to participate in a contest which runs during the month of June. The county whose total sales show an in crease over May in sale of war bonds will "eat turkey" and the losing county committee mem bers will "eat crow." Ray Conway of Portland, who Is state chairman of war bond sales, recently "at crow" which the Portland shipyard workers showed an increase in their war bond purchases after Con.vay sponsored a war bond sales contest. And newspaper reports and pictures give actual proof that Conway ate the bird. Gates said yesterday that Jack son county patriotism in back ing U.

Our deepest appreciation for men tion of our oversight specifying southern Oregon bird as resem blance between Multnomah tur key and crow you consumed re cently might be more than pure ly coincidental. Jackson county committee will be stuffed with turkey, not in one. You will get the bird but with reverse Eng lish." W. A. Gates.
