World Security
Proposals Explained
A brief, concise explanation
of the Dumbarton Oaks plan
which will be discussed at the
coming San Francisco confer
ence is contained in O. S. C.
Extension Circular 457, "United
Nations Proposals for World Se
curity," now available at the
Jackson county extension office.
The circular explains In un
derstandable language the ma
jor points that will be consid
ered by the United Nations. It
is Intended to stimulate study of
the plan and to encourage for
mulation of public opinion
about the proposals. It reviews
the major points for and against
the plan.
Written by Dr. U. G. Dubach,
head of the political science de
partment at Oregon State col
lege, the leaflet has been issued
by the Extension service as a
contribution to better under
standing on the part of rural
people of the plans under con
sideration for world peace.
"While the main objective of
this proposed world organiza
tion Is to outlaw war, inevitably
there will be many other re
sults, economic and social," the
circular's Introduction points
out. "These include effect on
national employment, markets
for farm production and world
trade. This is probably the
greatest question ever brought
before the American people for
decision. Because of the social
and economic implications, farm
and rural people should have a
thorough understanding of the
issues involved."
The circular will be distrib
uted to leaders of farm and
rural groups in Jackson county
with a suggestion that it pro
vide some of the subject matter
for discussion of this important
question. At the same time,
copies are available free of
charge to anyone who wants
one.

County Agent.
