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some had later rescinded the ac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.
