PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1942. EQUALLY VITAL, Economic, Political Issues Must Be Won Also Can didate Tells Pro-America, America has three vital fronts In the present world crisis mili tary, economic and political. This nation can win the war on the far flung battelfront, yet lose all we have built in the past 166 years by failure on either of the other two fronts. This was the keynote of an address delivered before a meet ing of Pro-America at the Hotel Holland Monday evening by Har ris Ellsworth, Roseburg news paper publisher and Republican nominee for representative of the newly-created fourth con sressional district. In an enlightening analysis of the current international situ atlon Ellsworth reminded Pro- America members that Amer ica's military might is now be ing mustered and more hearten ing news will soon be form-coming from various war fronts. Senseless censorship procedure of past months was decried by the sDeaker. who emphasized the fact that the people of this nation can "take it and should have the bad news along with the good. Post-war Threat Seen The change-over of industry to war production on the eco nomic front means that com modities previously manufact ured by private funds have ne cessarily given way to goods made for war and financed by public funds. The post-war danger of continued federal di rection of industry was pointed to as a threat against the per petuation of the democratic sys tem on the economic front. "On the political front Amer ica might suffer her greatest defeat," Ellsworth told his Pro America audience. "It is neces sary in wartime to create a virtual dictatorship, yet we must make certain that the sys tem of checks and balances which is a basic principle of American democracy is re-established when peace is achieved." Ellsworth reminded that many powers of the legislative branch of government have pas sed to the executive, and that the "nine old men of the su preme court have become "nine young men" since 1933. Judi ciary support of the executive policies has steadily become more apparent. A campaign of education in democratic principles for the youth of the nation was urged by Ellsworth as a means of dis pelling the apathy of voters In local, state and national elec tions. At the conclusion of his ad dress, Mr. Ellsworth Informally discussed his forth-coming elec tion campaign with Pro-America members, lie stressed his belief that private or public power is not an issue In this election, instead the Issue Is Just what type of administration is to be given to public power in years to come. Answering a query from his audience as to his stand on the controversial Townsend program, Ellsworth expressed the opinion that an adequate old age pension is high ly desirable providing it is eco nomically sound and would not Imperil the financial structure of the nation. If successful in the November election his atti tude on any old age pension legislation would be governed by its economic soundness he said. Mrs. C. L. Hopklnj, president of Pro-America .presided at the meeting. At noon today Ellsworth ad dressed the Medford Rotary club and will leave for Rose burg late today. He is accom panied by Mrs. Ellsworth. 17 STAYWTTN Oscar E. Gross, state organ izer of the laundry workers and dry cleaning workers interna tional union, affiliate of the A. F. L., said 17 women employes of the American Laundry were out ioday and that more would follow. The walkout started Monday. "The wage and hour commis sion of Oregon set a minimum wage of 33 cents per hour for experienced workers on May 3, 1941." Mr. Gross said, "and to day some girls are still working for 33 and 35 cents, and in a few instances a little more. That wage scale does not give the women a fair living wage today so that labor movement of Med ford has and is bending every effort to adjust this condition. The laundries refused to nego tiate an agreement with these workers, hence the labor trou ble. The laundry workers or ganizer came to Medford May 5 and will stay until his problem is adjusted."
