EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBUNE World Federation Required For Civilization's Survival Knife and Fork Club Told If the world ia foolish enough to have a third world war it will probably start In Asia. This was the prophecy of Dr. Vernon Nash, noted educator, lecturer, author, voiced In an address Saturday night at the Roosevelt school au ditorium. Speaking at a meeting of members of the Rogue River Valley Knife and Fork club, Dr. Nash predicted that China's "be wildering continuity of the past 5.000 years will continue un changed in the century to come while world empires will be doomed in the age ahead. Although the speaker's subject was "America's Next 100 Years in Asia," he devoted much of his address to a discussion of the San Francisco Charter and the urg ent need for a world federation if civilization is to survive. In Asia today are the seeds of "flam ing radicalism" and the infection in the world's blood stream can only be banished by creating a condition of freedom and abund ance for all. The next war, if it comes through the stubbornness and folly of those now in power, might well start with conflict be tween the Chinese people them selves as the second World War began in Spain, in the opinion of the speaker. Dr. Nash pointed out that the people of Asia are punch-drunk as a result of war, and it is folly to believe that their problem has been solved by decisions at Potsdam and San Francisco. The San Francisco Charter he said moved from birth to senility In a single Instant when the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima. Indonesia Cited Dr. Nash discussed the per plexing problems of colonial em pires and cited the unrest in the Dutch East Indies as proof that the best empire la not good enough in this new age. Colonial people will only be satisfied with territorial status in a new com- monwcaim of nations, with as surance of speedy acceptance as lull fledged members. The stand of the United States at San Francisco is entirely out of keeping with the traditions of 130 years of American national life, according to Nash. There is every sign that tills nation is heading down the bloody road to imperialism and that the princi ples which America's sons waded through blood to maintain will be lost if empires are put back into the saddle. The demand for Pacific bases was scored as an indication of this nation's im pending "rationalized imperial ism." High tariff walls were vigor ously denounced by the speaker as contributors to world conflict. The establishment of tariffs was pointed to as one step on which Hitler climbed to power In Ger many and precipitated the last world war. The U. S. and British will nev er support continued force to maintain peace in conquered lands and the aimlessncss which characterized our course follow ing World War I seems to be re turning. The days of Civil War reconstruction were cited as sim ilar to the ensuing era if our present course is followed. The product of the 1860 s was the "hooded boys in their nighties, and the carpetbaggers of this age will make those gown and hood boys look like pikers," Nash prophecled. One Faint Hope The San Francisco Charter, al ready antiquated and Irrevclant in the atomic age, offers one faint hope in the creation of ma chinery for eventual world fed eration, Dr. Nash's only antedotc for another world war, "Such a federation, once believed by many to be desirable, is now an absolute necessity and has num ber ono place on humanity's agenda. Without it the growth of power politics and betrayal of men who fought and died in this war are inevitable," he said. The world, now physically uni fied, is chopped into political subdivisions. Banishment of world tariffs and immigration re strictions go hand-ln-hand with the building of a commonwealth of nations, according to the speaker. In reply to a question concern ing the Chinese people, Dr. Nash said that they are more like Americans tlinn any oilier people on earth. Both races are basical ly idealistic yet have their feet firmly planted on the ground; TOPS FOR QUALITY . PtptUCola Company, Lon) rttncbiied Bottler: Pepii-Cola Mender.
