ing of homes of their own. 1t has
been one of the most popular sources
of investment in the community dur
ing these years and today has 735

A Washington woman and her Two
young daughters are among the

ously awaiting passage home.
The woman, Mrs. George H.

the war Office and the air minister,
paid a call today at the admiralty.
Meanwhile the diplomatic ex-
change over the European crisis was
said authoritatively to be hampered
by the reluctance" of Germany to
recognize the binding nature of Brit
ish and French guarantees to de-
fend Poland's independence If Po-
land also fights.
British diplomatic effort was de-
scribed by sources close to the gov
ernment as directed toward induc-
ing frame of mind in which nego-
tiation proper on Europe's outstand-
ing dispute - the German-Polish
quarrel-could begin.
The next move, it was said, must
come from Berlin or Warsaw.
The British note to Germany was
said to have restated things Britain
had said before, leaving the situa-
ton essentially unchanged.
Besides the immediate question of
Germanys demands for the Baltic
Free City of Danzig and the province
of Pomorze polish Corridor) the
broader issue of general European
relations has been raised, necessi-
tating inclusion of other powers in
the discussions.
Situation Summarized.
Briefly, the situation was this:
Britain. France and Germany
have indicated desire for discus
sions to clarity the whole European
situation.
AS an approach to this Germany
is insisting on speedy settlement of
her quarrel with Poland along lines
laid out by Hitler.
Poland is ready to negotiate, but
only as an equal power and so long
as her independence is preserved
She does not view the reported
German formula at present as
satisfactory basis for negotiation.
Britain and France are pledged to
support Polish independence by
force of arms if necessary. They
refuse to press the Poles to accept

Fastening preparations for "even-
Qualities"
Nevertheless, sources close to the
British government said today they
did not consider the situation worse
than on August % when the British
German exchanges began. The one
optimistic factor was that the dis
pute yet was one of words.
11,GOO, 900 in Evacuation Areas.
The total population of the desig-
mated evacuation areas is about H.
$1,000, but only a part of these resi-
dents would fall into the first group
to be moved.
Those falling in the priority
classes" are school children accom-
panied by their teachers, children of
pre-school age accompanied by their
mothers or other escorts, expectant
mothers and the adult blind and
crippled population if the removal
of invalids is feasible.
For emergency purposes the popu-
lation of England is roughly divided
into three classes:
/. The relatively congested areas
where priority" evacuation now has
been ordered.
2. The neutral" or less dangerous
areas during airraids in which about
13 900 900 live.

A Domei dispatch from Nomon-

crossed the Khalka River with 40C

The powerful Metal Workers
Union of more than 500 900 members
fatty severed its connections with
the French Communist party.
The union, which once formed the
backbone of the Communist strength
in French labor, took the step by
condemning the German-Soviet nom
aggression pact as contrary to
peace"

The French government drove
swiftly ahead with its preparations
for war, if it must come, by decree
ing that Paris henceforth must be
blacked out. ..
Meanwhile the diplomatic lines
for peace negotiations were kept
open, awaiting the next move by
Germanys Fuehrer.
Across the Rhine border, however
French sources said, the German
Army was already on a wartime
footing.
Through the Paris police an order
was issued putting into execution
the strict black-out laws already
published.
Under them every exterior light
must be extinguished on Paris build
ings and every window must be SO
screened that no ray of light escapes
Any light will lead without further
warning to cutting of the electric
current for the whole building as
well as a police investigation.
The government also issued its
fifth appeal to the citizens Of Paris
who could leave the city to get out
while transportation was still avail
able.
Speculation on Pact.
Many Frenchmen reasoned that
Hitler negotiated the non-aggression
pact with Russia for either of two
purposes: First, that he sought to
unbalance Europe strategically in
the hope of forcing Britain and
France to climb down from their
support Of Poland; or, secondly, to
put himself In good position for
war.
Thus far, they said, he has not
been able to do the first. Ger
many's military occupation of Slo-
vakia, on Poland's south. was in
terpreted as a natural follow-up of
this two-point policy. But the
shocks that the Soviet German pact
caused in Toxic, Burgos, Budapest

Early Diagnosis Campaign For TB

Speaking in behalf of the Early Diagnosis Campaign to be con ducted by the Alaska Tubercul- osis Association during the month of June as a part of a nation wide campaign to disc over early tuberculosis, Dr. J. C. Haldeman, Territorial Tuberculosis Clinic.an stated In actual practice it is felt that the prevention of tuberculosis begins with the early discovery of the case. Statistics show that 80-85&o of all cases are in a moderately advanced or far advanced stage of the disease by the time diag nosis is established, because sym ptoms sufficiently obvious for the patient to seek medical aid vol ulntarily did not appear until the disease had reached this advanc- ed stage This means that the in 'dividual patient has lost his best chance of recovery and in many cases has already transmitted his infection to others Every case of tuberculosis must come from an other case.
 From an economic standpoint, early diagnosis means that hos pital or sanatoria care will be shorter. It may mean that home care will make hospital care lat er unnecessary.
 Since tuberculosis takes its greatest toll in the years of great est economic productivity, early diagnosis and earlp care prevents the problem created by the death from tuberculoss of the bread winner or the young mother.
 It is among those engaged in unSkilled labor that tuberculosis finds one of its most favorable fields of attack, and because of the lack of sanatoria for the care of tuberculosis in Alaska and the high cost of care in private san atoria in other localities, the dis eovery of tuberculosis in it's earl jest stages when the cure can be safely effected with a minimum of expense either to the patient himself or to the Territory is of added importance here.
