It will be recalled that Tokyo added its word of approval to the Munich pact the other day. It indi- cated before settlement was reached that was in complete harmony with the German position and might even, in event of conflict, have moved against Russia had the latter taken an active hand. Japan, like Ttaly in Ethiopia, must expand to take care of her people and the expansion move has been directed toward China Thus it only natural that Tokyo saw merit in Mussolini's seizure of Haile Selassie’s kingdom and that it was rable to the decision in favor of Hitler at Munich. Japan needs a comparable example for its march into Chinese Ter- ritory. That it has been by the report that Japanese armed forces now are being prepared to move int {h China. Heretofore, Tokyo has centered only on northern China where it has hoped to broaden its colonization. The Hitler diplomatic victory at Munich very well may have re- vealed to Japan that if the aggressor is tough enough the other nations will not interfere. Eurcpe has just had the experience of teetering on the brink of war. The Japanese could figure that a timely move into south China, following so close on the heels of the Czechoslovakia incident, is not likely to arouse very much international disturbance at least, the present, and by it was fav greatly encouraged is indicated for that time she may 7 Indian Students Stage *“Lie-Down” Strike THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5, 1938. achieved a position which will be hard to spute.

Medicine Steps Forward (New York Times) Both physicians and the public cannot but ap- yrove the deci of the House of Delegates of the American Medicé Association to recede from its yrevious position and, on the whole, to endorse the Government's | am with the exception of the yrovision for compulsory health insurance. Hospital in ce of the three-cents-a-day type, cash in- demnity insurance which ippased to meet the heavier costs of serious illness, the cxpansion of Work- men’s compensation laws to cover occupational ills, he lization of Federal and State funds to bring med care to the indigent—these proposals, once repudiated, are now apparently accepted in principle. Even more important is the obvious willingness of the Association to assume the lead in laying down the new health policy and an implied intention of doing what it can to keep politics out of the kind of medical care t the poor are to receive. atifying as this progress may be, crucial issues still untouched. The plight of the class that barely enough to pay for food, shelter and clothing and nothing left over wherewith to pay the doctor will undoubtedly be relieved. What of the many who cannot pay even reduced physicians' fees but can set aside regularly something for medical treatment? are has They must turn to the public hospitals or private charity. Yet the Association advocates more efficient use of existing hospital facilities in one breath and in another illogically insists that hospitals should not provide medical care. Moreover, workmen’s compen- sation is to be expanded to include sickness benefits. but employers and employees must have nothing to do with salaried or contract medicine The vublic is waiting for a plan which will enlist all voluntary agencies in coping with the problem of illness before taxation is invoked. Cooperative clinics of the Mayo and the hospital type where phy sicians practice in groups, contract medicine’ whereby physicians on a salary or higher compensation basis are enabled to minister to the sick employees of a manufacturing company can be very effective. Must experimentation in these democratic directions still struggle under legal disabilities largely medicine’s creation? More concessions must here be made before the country will be convinced that the need of taxation has been reduced to an inescapable minimum of organized No Dull Jacks Here eveland Plain D Through the 40-hour week and longer vacations, the juvenile query with which every parent is familiar, ) [ N S C—] Horoscope “The stars incline o || HAPPY BIRTHDAY | o 3 ‘ The Empire extends congratula- -~ 20 Years Ago From The Empire Directo PROFESSIONAL FRATERNAL SOCIETIES GASTINEAU CHANNEL ” but do not compel [tions and best wishes today, their ! 7, B.

Boating has found new adherents, Golf and tennis have attracted thousands of new enthusiasts. Photography which may be classed as both an art and a sport, what with the springing into being of thousands of omnipresent candid camera bugs, tripled the membership of camera clubs in the last four years.

The Pub- lic Library has been kept on its toes supplying books for avocations. these All of these means of spending leisure time re- quire egquipment and business has actually profited from what some feared woyld be an economic handi- cap.

Could They Be Fatheads (New York World-Telegram) Harvey Stowers, a sales expert of South Bend, Ind. maintains that wide-headed people make the world’s decisions. The husband or wife whose head is widest just above the ears rules the homes, says Mr. Stowers, and he points to Mussolini as “a first- class example of a wide head.” It may be true. But if so. we are compelled to conclude, as we observe some of the decisions being made these days. that a great many of the world's wide heads must house terribly narrow minds.
