PAGE FOUR if need be, other propaganda aimed at frightening the United States into strict neutrality—until the Axis could defeat Britain and decided to take on the United States. This pact was directed as a threat against the United States about a year after the Germans had signed a non-aggression treaty with Russia in August, 1939. France already had surrendered to the Germans. Japan was ready to attack the United States. What tipped the whole thing was the invasion of Russia by Germany less than a year later—in June of 1941. Today, three years after the signing of the pact, the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo tripod is shaky. The Italian leg has collapsed and the widely separated Berlin- Tokyo legs stand against the full might of the United Nations Daily Alaska Empire O e i okrarts Becond and Main Streets, Juneau, Alaska.

Penicillin (New York Times) It has been said that it takes ten years to intro- duce a new medical discovery into a textbook and ten more to expunge it after it has been superseded. That is not the story of penicillin, a new wonder-working germ-killer which is obtained from cheese mold. It is true that Prof. Alexander Fleming of the University of London discovered the properties of penicillin in 1929, but it was not until 1930 that Prof. Howard Florey and his collaborators of Oxford had isolated enough to test it clinically and to establish its remarkable properties. No doubt it was the war that heightened interest in the discovery. At any rate, penicillin has | been hailed by physicians with even more praise than the sulfa drugs received, and a new medical term has | passed into the vernacular. | Unfortunately it is not easy to obtain enough | penieillin in the quantities required for general medical | use. A yield of a single gram, a mere pinch, i‘rom‘\ about twenty quarts of culture fluid is regarded as| high. Sixteen pharmaceutical houses have been doing | their best, with the encouragement of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, to obtain enough | penicillin for the Army. Nine have now been author- | ized by the War Production Board to proceed with what is momentarily regerded as large-scale cultivation. 1 What we have here is a triumph of accident and ‘ shrewd observation. Fleming had noted that when | mold was cultivated on a glass plate there was always | AFTER THREE YEARS It was just three years ago today that announce- ments from Berlin, Rome and Tokyo heralded the signing of a 10-year military pact between Germany, ftaly and Japan. The move was clearly aimed at the United States and officials of all three Axis powers issued notice that the alliance was a warning to the United States that what was happening in Europe and in the Far East was none of our business. Hitler said the pact was a “hands off” warning to the United States against military participation either in Europe or the Far East. Nazi Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop declared |a that the pact was “an alliance of three of the most powerful nations in the world, and any nation that intends to mix in their joint affairs will have to meet the compact power of three united nations of some 250,000,000 people.” England and Germany already were at war when this alliance was formed. Just shortly before this, Germany and Russia had signed a non-aggression pact. > The move was obviously aimed at scaring the | United States from continuing any form of aid to England. The pact said, in so many words: Russia and the Axis have agreed to remain on peacful terms. If the United States enters the war against Germany, Japan, Italy and Germany will line up against Britain and the United States. teria flourished. search, with the result that an agent was discovered | which is apparently able to preform miracles in deal- | ing with infections that resist even the sulfa drugs.| The mortality from infected wounds and burns in | this war is already so low that military surgeons | justly boast of it. It will be still lower when more | penicillin becomes available. | But what is it in the mold that is so effective? | There is no answer as yet. To grow molds and handle | :m in the laboratory requires much space and much | time. If the active chemical can be isolated, the | chemist can proceed with synthesis and thus dispense | | with mold-growing entirely. That is the next step. | When it is taken, the price of penicillin will come down | and the general practitioner will be provided with the | means of treating boils, infections of bone marrow and what is called blood poisoning with a new ef- | ficiency.

It is a lucky date for signing contracts or leases. Act- resses, musicians and artists who entertain the public should benefit, because audiences will be unusually responsive.
