Isolated Films

 There appear to be three insumountabe difficult ties The Films set against giving leasing to the Russians any territory for naval base on the mainland Hagoe at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland. They also reject the Soviet demand for a frontier revision in the Russians favor the better to protect the exposed city of Leningrad To grant this would be to court the fate of the Czechs the Films It would mean abandoning their frontier fortifica- tions and leave the country exposed to invasion The Russians also insisting territory in the Finnish Arctic buffer belt to protect the port of Murmansk
 Along the southeastern border the Films have mobized seven divisions of their small army. Pro- vocation, shout the Russians The Films "unreason- able" attitude of insisting defending their own country should the need arise has greatly perturbed the Kremlin.
 The Films find themselves isolated The Scandi- navian countries, Sweden and Norway, fear Russian attack Finland. It would be looked upon first step in challenging their independence There fore. they had urged the Films to make all possible concessions. The Films, certainly, could not expect hope from Britain and France Germany while she would like to control Finland and in the past has made repeated efforts to do would not act for fear of her delicate relationship with Moscow Since negotiations have broken down the ussoFin- nish border becomes for the present of Euro pean danger spot than the western front the armed frontier between the Third Reich and Belgium and The Netherlands

Art in America

One thing that must have impressed visitors to the Masterpieces of Art exhibit at the Worlds Fair in addition to the wealth of beauty, the number of other visitors they found there Though special admission charge of 50 cents made to the art ex hbit in addition to the admission to the Fair grounds it did not discourage crowds large at times that it difficult for individuals to the pictures The crowds reminiscent of those milling around the Van Gogh exhibit few years ago and at the opening of the Museum of Modern Art in this city. We are told that out in San Francisco the first few months gate receipts for the Art Masterpieces exhibit exceeded those of the Sally Rand Nude Ranch During the first month 107425 persons bought tickets for the art ex hibit, 30000 more than those who paid to look at Sallys young ladies.
 These evidences of a greatly increased interest in art in America supplemented by those in the field of publishing Not only have remarkable number of art books been published this fall, but of them "A Treasury of Art Masterpieces, though priced at $l0 has had first printing of 100000 copies, and stands at the top of of the bestseer lists for non-fiction books with sales that have already ceeded 5OOOo copies.
 At time when reactionary forces in so many parts of the world to be turning back the clock of civilization these evidences of great and rapidly growing interest in art in country doubly impressive.

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT
 TUBERCULOSIS

The Alaska Tuberculosis Association is about to begin it's annual seal sale, an endeavor which has always met with generous support from Alaskans Most people understand that the purpose to which seal sale proceeds are put is good one but have a hay idea as just what that purpose is and its importance
 The National Tuberculosis Association of which the Alaska organization is part, has been employed in relentless warfare against the tubercle bacillus for about 35 years and has accomplished much. From this long campaign physicians know the most vulnerable points to attack and the best weapons to use First in order of effectiveness is sanatorium treatment. This outranks all other means of tuber culosis control, as it furnishes the best of curing patients and at the time removes sources of infection from the community. Alaska is making use of sanatoria large extent as funds will permit.
 The number of institution beds utilized for the treatment and segregation of Of tuberculosis is the best have of the success of the anti-tuberculosis activities carried by public health officials voluntary agencies such the Tuberculosis Association First the list of objec- of the people behind the seal sale is the tion of demand for sanatoria for the use of citizens of such places as Alaska which do not have enough beds to provide treatment promptly for all patients who need it. Experience shows this re- quires at least two beds per annual death Certain states nave dneauy IuIllleu UllS including the Territory of Alaska, have made good start toward meeting the need; other regions have done so little that the effect is negligible
 Tuberculosis is a national problem as the tuber- cle bacillus knows boundary lines and the tuber culous individual is less nomad moving about without restrictions, sowing the seeds of disease while seeking health It is a situation which exists here in all the States; it burden that all should bear. By contributing to the seal paign you help.
 pr. Henry D. Chadwick President of the National Tuberculosis Association, has pledged his organization to relentless warfare on tuberculosis throughout the coming year Dr. Clifford E. Waller, Assistant Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service urges The idea of eradica- ing tuberculosis should pass from the realm of theory into the sphere of practice The program of finding persons with tuberculosis must be intensive and wide spread. It should the general population and special consideration should be given to particular groups such age, sex, race occupations and eco- homie status, where the disease is prevalent"
 In Alaska tuberculosis is great challenge. You

retirement only few months earlier because he failed to keep step with the Fuehrer.
 All this grapevine material seems to agree with the facts about the Western Front. It explains why the Germans have moved 31 divisions a complete army-into position on the Belgian and Dutch borders And it also explains, in part, why these troops have not yet gone into action. It explains why the Germans have not yet used the full force of their tremendous air arm against the French army.
 Either one of these moves would mean that war would be on in earnest. And the moderates don't want war to get going. According to the grapevine, they still hope some way can be found to call the whole thing off by spring.

OUR STRENGTH IN THE AIR

Nothing could be a better guarantee of Ameri- cas- peace and security than the announcement that two airplane plants in California alone have capacity of 5000 planes and motors per year If it is true that nine French aviators, flying nine American planes, attacked 27 German Messerschmidts and, because of the superior maneuverabty of the American ships downed nine of the German craft without losing one of their own, that, also, is a guarantee of peace and security.
 Air strength lies in the potential capacity to produce large numbers of good planes, not array of fabricated planes growng obsolete in their hangars.
