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."
