out further trouble.
 The incident attracted several hundred Chinese and foreigners. The Chinese, pleased with tho re- suits of yesterdays "victory parade" in which tho Japanese were halted by United states marines when they invaded 0 section of tho American defense sector, were amused.
 EstabllDh Precedent
 Foreign military observers bee iieved that the object of today's move by the Japanese was to estab- lish 0 precedent for the transporta- ton of military supplies through the French concession. It was efn. phaslzed, however, that tho French probably would never permit tho Japanese to establish 0 precedent of armed troops moving through tho area.
 The strong French stand was be- lieved to have been influenced d. most wholly by tho results of Fri- days "victory parade" Wild disor- ders, involving American marines, British soldiers and other foreign CTS, broke out after Q Chinese patriot threw Q hand grenade into the marching troops.
 Visit Yankee Headquarters
 Today Q group of Japanese army authorities visited the headquarters of Brig. cen. John Q. Beaumont, commander of marines In the Shanghai area, presumably to apol- ogiRe for the encroachment upon the marine defense sector.
 Tho Japanese asserted that the invasion had been "unintentional' and responsible quarters believed that General Beaumont would ac- cept an apology 50 that tho incident could Do ended quickly.
 Tho Japanese had withdrawn from all areas they had occupied in the settlement.
 A Japanese spokesman said, how. ever, that Japan still insisted that she has the right to march troops anywhere she may please in the set. clement and that the British and American defense forces should agree to expel anti-Japanese agita- tors from their areas.

 Checking Them Rapidly
 we are checking them as rapid iy as possible in addition to try- Ing to locate ell of those who may have been exposed. Because the disease apparently is very con. tagious 1t Is necessary that ell such suspects be isolated ct once."
 The Rev. John w. Barrett, dio- cesan director of hospitals, said the malady was not unique in the his. tory of nurseries.
 "There have been three or four similar instances about the country in the last three years. We have summoned an expert staff of pedia- tricians and pathologists who are doing everything possible to ascer- tain the cause of the disease"

ENCOURAGING ALASKA INDUSTRY

Action of the Interior Department i granting title to the Yukon Fur Farms a tract of land at Petersburg on which the company operates the out standing fur farm in Alaska comes as encouraging news not only to Earl N. ohmer and his associates who own the company but for the Territorys general development
 In reversing the land office ruling which had denied title under the manufacturing site act Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes reveals that he cognzant of the need for encouraging private enterprise in Alaska and not afraid to set aside technical bar Tier when the interests of the Territory stake
 For years the Yukon Fur Farms has been trying to get title to the tract of land which it has made improvements costing between $6oo0O and $75,ooo. But its request has been repeatedly denied. When application recently made under the manu- featuring site act the land office held the regu- lation that fur farming must under the lease law, although the manufacturing site act provides only for manufacturing but other productive dustry."
 Secretary Ickes has shown that he realizes fur farming operation which this year will produce around S7000o worth of mink fur much of it premium on the world market, is productive industry" and there fore entitled to fair consideration
 Just how far the ruling goes whether it applies only to the Dinner has not been ascertaned But It may De noped tat IL IS Droad enough to nave eliect in bolserng the fur farming business generally in the north Raising mink fox and other animals in captivity for the fur market is infant industry in Alaska. But the results obtained by MT. Dinner and other fur farms have proven that it be successful and should be encouraged in every way The Terri tory is seeking to promote the industry by the estab- lishment of experimental fur farm to provide in- formation for the fur farmers. If the same kind of consideration which has been demonstrated by the Interior Department ill the Dinner request can be obtained from other government departments the fur farming industry will get somewhere If however, the ambitious fur raiser going to have to continue forever operating under permit with never chance to get title to his land the outlook will not be so bright.
 Right there is much talk of plan for Alaska development. Might suggest that the plan be di- rected toward promoting private enterprise which in time will make the Territory sef-supportng and in line for Statehood rather than development through department control which has throttling effect upon industry.
