Luncheon Speaker Denounces Idea of World Government Warning against proposals for world government, Mrs. G. Q. D'Albim spoke on this topic at a meeting of Jackson County Re publican Women held Monday noon in the Medford hotel. She referred to world government plans as "Utopian schemes" and said they would mean a loss of freedom and liberty to the people of this nation. Mrs. D'Albini Quoted from an address by Mrs. W. D. Leetch of the Daughters of the American Revolution, in which Mrs. Leetch declared that the proponents of world government "proposed to scrap the constitution of the United States" and that becom ing part of a world government would "necessitate the surrender of the national sovereignty of 'we the people' to control and direct our own destiny." The speaker also gave material against world government pre pared by Mrs. W. B. McCullough of Ashland who wrote that "dou ble talk and fuzzy thinking" in this country has resulted in "clamoring hordes who are de manding abolition of our free and independent government." Mrs. McCullough had written that this demand came from a "weird conglomeration of vision erias. internationalists, religious pacifists and outright subver sives," and added that If the de mands and proposals of these were put into effect "our United States would become a province ruled by an Internationally oper ated dictatorship." "We are being sold a bill of goods, wrapped and double-wrapped in the form of resolutions and bills being presented to the legislatures of the various states and to congress in the forms of bills indorsing world govern ment, the article continued, hhe said 23 states had already ap proved such measures, hut that some had later rescinded the ac tion, and that now before the senate foreign relations commit tee are eight resolutions which would either surrender or mater ially reduce United States sov ereignty. Mrs. McCullough's article out lined the United World Federal ist, Inc. movement which she said would set up a world legisla ture to enact all laws, a world executive agency to enforce the laws and world courts to try and sentence lawbreakers. The World Federalists want provisions pro hibiting the possession by any nation of armament and forces beyond an approved level re quired for internal policing, the article said, adding that this would mean abolishing the army, navy and air forces of the United States. In nnening her suoech Mrs. D'Albini quoted from an article in "Friends of the Public Schools" which called attention to a "decision of the California appellate court which placed the United Nations charter above the law in California barring orietal aliens, particularly Japanese, from owning land In California." Mrs. M. Allison Moulton pre sided over the meeting, and plans for a Gay Nineties style show June 23 at the Rogue Val ley Country club were an nounced. Mrs. Moulton comment ed on the recent primary election and said "we now have a slate of candidates; it is up to us to elect them." Mrs. Curtis L. Hopkins report ed on the recent tax meeting sponsored by the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce and rec ommended that republican wom en make a special study of meas ures calling for additional taxa tion In Oregon.
