Medicine Steps Forward

 Both physicians and the public cannot but ap- prove the decision of the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association to recede from its previous position and on the whole to endorse the Governments program with the exception Of the provision for compulsory health insurance Hospital insurance of the three-cents-a day type, cash in- demnity insurance which is supp osed to meet the heavier of serious illness the expansion of work mems compensation laws to occupational Ills, the utilization of Federal and State funds to bring medical to the ndgent-these proposals, once repudiated are apparently accepted in principle. Even more important is the obvious willingness of the Association to assume the lead in laying down the health policy and an implied intention of doing what it keep politics out of the kind of medical that the poor to receive,

WHY JAPAN SEES MERIT IN THE
 MUNICH AGREEMENT

Just what effect the Munich agreement may have had on the situation the Orient may be probemat- cal but there is evidence in recent dispatches that it has encouraged Japan greater effort against China
 It will be recalled that Tokyo added it's word of approval to the Munich pact the other day. It ndi- eated before settlement reached that it was in complete harmony with the German position and might even, in event of conflict, have moved against Russia had the latter taken an active hand
 Japan, like Italy in Ethiopia must expand to take care of her people and the expansion move has been directed toward China. Thus it was only natural that Tokyo merit in Mussolinis seizure of Halle Seassie's kingdom and that it favorable to the decision in favor of Hitler at Munich Japan needs comparable example for it's march into Chinese Ter rtory.
 That it has been greatly encouraged is indca ted by the report that Japanese armed forces are being prepared move into south China. Heretofore Tokyo has centered only northern China where it has hoped to broaden its colonization. The Hitler diplomatic victory at Munich very well may have re- vealed to Japan that if the aggressor tough enough the other nations will not interfere.
 Europe has just had the experience of teetering the brink of The Japanese could figure that a timely into south China. following so close on the heels of the Czechoslovakia incident is not likely to arouse very much international disturbance at least for the present and by that time she may

Through the 40-hour week and longer vacations, the juvenile query with which every parent is familiar, What1l I do?" has become question of personal concern with adults themselves. They have found the answer in sports and hobbies.
 This is significant for it refutes the plaint often that extra leisure would lead people into mischief. Some went so far to predict increase in crime It was misreadng human nature to believe that people would frtter away their time in nefarious pursuits to overcome the ennui of idlenesS.

 All of these of spending leisure time re- quire equipment and business has actually profted from what feared would be economic hand- the adage of All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy Those with extra time their hands have dull moments The leisure is put to good use mentally and physically and it has brought a smile to the merchants face

THUMBS DOWN ON UNICAMERAL

With returns complete in the First Division and nearly so in the other three judicial divisions of the Territory it is revealed that the unicameral, one house legislature plan has been defeated by sub stantal ma aority. In the First Division 2482 votes were cast against the proposal compared with 2098 for it. In the Second and Fourth the majority was even greater against and the Third returns to date indicate about the same percentage as the First.
 Whatever may be the merits of the one-house plan and it must be admitted that there was some argument for it which met approval of minority of the voters the tone of the election reveals that Alas kans are fairly well satisfied with their tWo-house system and they care for no innovations.
 As the Fairbanks News-Mner points out:
 Ut is interesting to note that in the cities or larger towns where there are daily newspapers, and the people were informed on the subject, overwhelming maiorities were scored against the one-house This is the case in the First Dvision and also the Third. And by this token it is patent that where the people were well informed through the medium of the press, they caught the idea of the danger lurking in one house legislative plan The outlying districts isolated fishing camps fishing villages and native settlements rolled up the major votes boiled for the one-house. Under sinister influences or indifferent, and perhaps not able to read in many instances they fell for the mean. The press of the Alaskan cities practically was unanimous in favor of the two-house form, and deserves real vote of thanks for it's attitude"
