Certain definite standards must
be maintained by an institution be-
fore it should be termed a hospital
and the requirements for an accre-
ritted hospital are higher.
A few of the fundamental re-
quirements for an institution if it
is to be called a hospital are as fol-
lows:
l. Equipment for the steriliza-
tion of Grapes, gowns, dressings,
gloves and instruments. This is
known as the autoclaVe, device in
which the paraphenalia may be
subjected to steam under pressure.
An apparatus of this nature is of
the utmost Importance because an
otherwise clean operation may be
contaminated by germs on equip
ment and end fatally.
2. Standard equipment for the
performance of surgical operations.
both major and minor. The hospital
cannot decide on the type of opera
ton the patient needs so it must be
prepared for anything. In the large
cities in the states there are we'll
equipped surgical houses where
any type of instrument may be had
on a minutes notice. In isolated
communities, such as those in Alas
ka, it is a different story alto
gether.

ant as the sterilization of surgical
equipment, hence a hospital must
have a trained anesthetist available

Nome, Alaska, May 1, 1885 TO THE PUBLIC:
 The Industrial Workers of Alaska is an organization formed by wage earners for self protection thru cir cumstances of necessity.
 To safeguard our rights and pro- tect our interests we find it neces- sary to follow in the footsteps of our employers who are always to- gether whenever its interests are concerned. So as wage earners who recognize our interests and realizing that nothing shall be handed us on a silver platter, we are taking leaf out of the book of past experience and are banding ourselves together under the name of the Industrial Workers of Alaska, recognizing no barrier of sex, race, creed or color. With a grim determination that we are doing no wrong we are using every avenue of approach to attain our objective.
 Our purpose To establish and maintain the eight hour day or less whenever economic necessity de- mandS it, a return commensurate with the cost of living, working conditions conducive to health and a standard of living that will insure for our children a better heritage than that possessed by us.
 To attain these ends we do not limit ourselves to any one course of action. Any and all means of ap- proach shall be used whenever eX- pedient.
 l To stifle any personal ambition for elf-aggrandizement no labor bur eaucracy is to be tolerated Any and all moves for action originates from the rank and file No salaried officers or self appointed leaders. Leadership will only be tolerated by consent of the rank and file and will move in a constructive direction building for better today, more secure tomorrow and to an ultimate society where parasites will be un- known
 If you are a wage earner you should not neglect to enlist with your fellow workers as your chance to rise out of the ranks of workers is mighty small, for it's ranks are growing larger day by day.
 To the memory of countless spirits who have given their all for the common cause you are urged to stand up and be counted. Events are moving fast and the immediate future demands that you be prepar- ed.

when 1t comes to the question Of land

In the recent crisis in the Far East,
the foreign Office did not make sin
gle move without advising Washing
ton of what it intended to do. Every
cable Sir Samuel Hoare sent the Brit
ish Ambassador at Toxic was sent in
duplicate to Sir Ronald Lindsay in
Washington "for the information Of
the American Government" And this
is quite natural. While the United
States has nowhere near as much at
stake as the British Empire in the
Far Eastern jig-saw puzzle, We are
committed to have q positive policy
because of the nine-power pact and
the doctrine of the open-door policy.
Hence, the British think that If 1t
should come to showdown in the
Far East-which is extremely improb-
albeit would be just as well to have
the American Navy pull the chestnuts
out of the fire.
As matter OF fact, the nine
power pact, Which tDds signed tn
Washington By all the nations in
terested in China, Is a dead letter
as far as the maintenance OF
China's territorial integrity is
concerned.
The nine-power pact is a solemn
pledge of all the signatories to main
tain a fair attitude toward that re-
public. and not take advantage Of the
chaotic situation there, for their indi-
vidual benefit-either commercial or
territorial.
But, if any of the signatories de-
eide not to play fair, there are no
provisions enabling the other nations
to force the delinquent to respect the
treaty. All they can do is to dis
cuss the matter frankly" Like in all
postwar treaties there are no sane
tions and no reprisals to be taken
against country like Japan, to whom
treaties are important only as long as
they suit her national ambitions.
