ANSWER DELAYED

The delegates had been SEIZED,

FEAR EXPLOSION

If Russia and Italy should break

U. S. S. r. would soon find itself
in a similar position with both
Japan and Germany, with whom
Soviet relations have long been
strained.
Involvement of France, Russia's
military ally, and Britain, Frances
diplomatic partner, in such a con-

the explosion Europe has dreaded
for years.

ROME, Nov. o G.N.sJ.-Soviet
Russia and Fascist Italy were
poised at the brink Of a diplomatic
rupture today as a result Of an
angry Russian protest against the
new Italo-G erman-Japanese anti.
Communist pact.
At the same time it was revealed
Premier Mussolini entered the
anti-red bloc only after persistent
inducements by Chancellor Hitler
and after II Duce's hopes for an
immediate reconciliation with
Britain vanished.
Italian Foreign Minister Count
Ciano virtually rejected a protest
against the new accord lodged by
Soviet Ambassador Stein. AS a
result the Italo-Soviet non-aggres-
sion pact, which expires in a few
months, was considered already a
dead letter.
The Washington times., 1937-11-09
WARNING GIVEN

Stein warned Ciano that Mos
COW considers the anti-Communist
accord as definitely "unfriendly"
to the Soviet Union. Ciano re-
torted the accord contains no Sc
cret military or naval clauses
aimed against the U. S. S. r.
Stein refused to accept this view,
however, and as result diplo-
matte circles said they would not
be surprised if Rome and Moscow
sever diplomatic and trade rela.
tons. Such a break, it was freely
admitted, might plunge Europe
into a crisis fraught with gravest

Figures Reveal
 Maternal Death
 Rate in Alaska
Health Department Report Shows Territory's Record
 Poor in Comparison

The following report on Alaska $ maternal and infant death rate compared with the death rate fo1 the United States as a whole has been prepared by the Maternal and Child Health division Of the Ter ritorial Department of Health and gives enlightening figures on the maternal death rate in Alaska:
 The United States occupies the l4th place among other nations in the maternal death rate Twelve thousand, five hundred and forty four mothers died in the United States from childbirth during the year 1935. Statistics for 1886 are not yet available) This gives an average of 5.8 maternal deaths for every 1000 live-births.
 Alaska stands out very dark even when compared with the high maternal mortality rate of the US. A. The maternal death rate in AL aska is almost twice as high as that in the States.
 The maternal and Child Health division of the Territorial Depart
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-05-07

ment of Health has recently com piled statistics of maternal and in fant deaths throughout the Terri tory for the past six years. From l93C-l935. inclusive, there have been Iseventy-one deaths reported, of women who died from causes con- nected with childbirth. For the same period, there have been 7,09l births reported in the Territory, thus giving an average of over 10 maternal deaths for every live birth. For the year 1886, there have been twelve maternal deaths reported throughout the Territory. "The infant mortality rate is ex- ceedingly high in Alaska, number ing 1,l25 infant deaths for the above mentioned 7,091 births, giv- ing an average of 1588 per thou sand live births. This is almost three times as high as the infant death rate in the United States.
 "The extremely high mortality among the native infants is chiefly responsible for this embarrassing infant oeath rate of Alaska.
 While the infant death rate among the white population varied during l930-l935 period from 523 to 85.8 per thousand live births the death rate among the native infants for the same interval varied from 129l to pro per 1000 births Thus, some years, one out of every four children born died before he was one year old.
 However, when we review the high maternal mortality rate of AL aska, we do not find any such cor relation The average percentage o1 maternal deaths among the whites for the above six year interval, is practically the same as that for the native mothers. Ten and four tenths percent was the average number of maternal deaths for l. 1000 white births, and 101 mothers died for every 1000 births among the natives.
