The Pacific coast is also menaced by the existence of the disease in Vene- zuela, Uruguay and Peru, on the west ern coast of South America, a little over 4,000 miles away from San Fran cisco. Plague has recently appeared in Bolivia and Chili.
 The Atlantic coast of the United States is also in constant danger of the importation of the plague from the eastern coast of South America, as we'll as from European, African and Asiatic ports. Less than 5000 miles from New York plague is found in Bahia, Rio de Janiero and Buenos Aires.
 Directly or indirectly, therefore, our country is in commercial communication with all of the infected places in the world, and as plague is disease spread by rats which travel around the world in ships and is establishing more centers of infection every year, the United States must consider itself as always being menaced seriously by bubonic plague,
 The League Health Organization, of which the Archaeological Intelligence Service is part, is a special application in the field of health questions of its whole systematic attempt to organize international relations. Its object is to advise the council and assembly of the League in all international questions of public health, to establish closer re- lations between the health services of

different countries, to act as a clearing house for information on public health questions and finally to bring about the agreement necessary for all interna- tlonal action in public health matters.
 It was late in 1922 that the Health Committee, at the suggestion of its Japa- nese member, and with the approval of the governmets concerned, sent a small mission on a six months journey of in- vestigation to the chief ports in the Far East for the purpose of studying the different methods in force for sanitary, anti-epidemic and quarantine repula- tions, with particular attention to the necessity for preventing the spread of diseases by sea borne traffic.
 This information was collected partly because it is useful in itself and partly because it might serve as the basis for conference between the powers con- cerned for co-ordinating and tightening up sanitary and anti-epidemic measures throughout the Far East
 This was important, for although tenn porarily overshadowed by the fresh giant source of land borne infection from Russia, sea borne diseases origi- hating in the Far East are the main enemy of sanitary authorities all over the world.
 Dr. Norman White, head of the Epi- demic Commission, and former Sanitary Commissioner with the government of India, was selected for this mission. He first went to Siam for the Far Eastern Red Cross Conference (the first of it's kind) and thence travelled to Singapore, Java, Hongkong, Shanghai; visited Japan, Formosa, Corea; thence went through South and North Manchuris as far as Harbin; afterward going to Picking, Newchwang, Dairen, Manila, Tongking, Annam, Cochin-C China and Cambodia, the Federated Malay Straits, Penang, Rangoon, Colombo, Calcutta, Simla and Bombay.
 Throughout the journey governments and local authorities gave every assist ance in their power, and the mission was consequently able to bring home a mass of information concerning the epidemic diseases, such as cholera, bubonic plague. pneumonia plague and smallpox.

crowded spot on earth, is in constant touch, directly or indirectly, with every big port in the world. The steamers that carry it's exports to Europe all stop at Singapore. Singapore is 'the cross roads of the East" Although a few years ago it was but a tiger infested jungle isle, 10000 ocean going steamers, representing fifty lines, and 20,000 coastwise vessels now call there annually.
 Perhaps Lascar stoker on a steamer from Java contracts cholera. He gets few hours shore leave at Singapore, mingles with the crowds and communi- cates the disease to one of the crew of ship hailing from the United States.
 But the cholera might take more roundabout way to get across the At lantic. The Lascar might pass on the disease to a sailor whose ship was bound for Basra, on the Gulf of Persia, for a cargo of dates. Cholera has frequently
New Britain herald., 1926-09-30

The danger to the United States at present, as in the past, lies largely in the importation of the infective agent by immigrants from the great European seaports.
 The possibility of the transfer of cholera from the Ganges to the outside world has been reduced to a minimum by the E. I. S. All the lines of world communication that radiate from India are now watched by health detectives of the League of Nations. Thanks to these agents, and the telegraph, tele- phone and radio, the whole Far East, in fact the whole world, knows instantly when cholera rears it head. In Meso- potamia, even the services of the British Royal Flying Corps have been enlisted to carry swiftly to the nearest wireless station news of the occurrence of this and other highly communicable diseases in out of the way native settlements.
 Bubonic plague is another Far East ern specter that ever haunts the dreams of our health authorities. Fortunately, it's transmission from one country to an- other occurs more frequently by water than by land.
 Practically all of the great ports of British India, with the exception of Cal cutta, are always infected with plague. Rangoon, Madras, Colombo, Bombay and Karachi have reported comparatively re- gently the presence of the disease, and from the latter point it has extended up to the Persian Gulf, Singapore, Sura- baya, Mauritius, Zanzibar, Queenstown in South Africa, and Dakar in Senegal.
 Plague is to be found at almost any time in Morocco, Algeria, Tripoli, Greece, Italy, Egypt, and especially at Port Said another of the great gateways of the world.
 A third great meeting place of ocean going ships is the Hawaiian Islands. Plague existed here no longer ago than August, 1924. Taking the Hawaiian Islands as central point, plague was then found in San Francisco, Tokyo and Shanghai. It is thus seen how easily our entire Pacific coast is threatened
 directly by plague from s. the Orient, with the Ha-

Faithful who had tramped over the desert caravan routes from Egypt to Constantinople.
 Then an American ship leaves Alex andria with a cargo of Egyptian cotton and a deckhand who has rubbed shoul- ders with a good Mohammedan lately returned from Mecca. And so cholera is brought to New York, Boston or New Orleans.
 But our quarantine authorities, fortu- nately, have been not only advised of the Java epidemic 'by their own service, but the League of Nations has kept them posted of the cropping up of the disease along all the worlds highways, byways and waterways that somehow meet at Singapore, and so are ready to repel the threatened invasion.
 Cholera is a world disease and a world problem. It is considered probable by historical students to have existed as an endemic disease in the delta of the Ganges for centuries. From this en- demic home it has become epidemic in neighboring districts. In the nineteenth
