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;
