The situation of the Toxic gov
eminent is similar-up to a point
to that of Germany. Some sort
victory is necessary for the popu
lation, which continues to tighto.
its belt.
According to reports received i"
Washington recently, it is probab.
that Japan will make an effort am.
obtain new territory and Oil with
out attempting to go through
Singapore. The plans of last year
to take Borneo are again under
discussion. Part of Borneo is Dutch
and part British. The island is
rich in oil deposits and its occupa-
ton by the Japanese might not in
volve as many problems as an
attempt to take Java and Sumatra.
Planned to Obtain Lease.
In the summer of 1889 the Japa-
nese had planned to obtain q 90
year lease" on the Dutch portion
of Borneo. The Hague government
turned the suggestion down and
the matter was openly discussed in
the Diet in Toxic.
Confidential information reached
Washington indicating that the
japanese Navy had decided to have
its summer war games somewhere
near Borneo. 1t also was reliably
reported that the Toxic government
would approach Queen Wilhelmina S
government for the second, time, as
soon as the Japanese men-of-war
were close enough to the island.
Borneo is poorly defended and
would be an easy prey for the Jap
aneSe.
Idea Abandoned.
These plans had to be abandoned
because of the European war, and
the Toxic diplomats did not quite
know how things were going to turn
in Europe. 1t would have been risky
to back the wrong horse.
japanese military observers who
rushed to Toxic soon after the de-
/ feat Of Poland gave a glowing &C
count of the organization and the
/ power of the totalitarian states. But
the Shutdown war during the winter
and the possibility that the Germans
could not make dent in the Magi-
not line and that France and Great
Britain in the end would have the
upper hand prevented the Toxic
government from going too for.
Now that Europe is in the hands Of
the totalitarians and Great Britain
is fighting with her back against the
wall, the japanese again are think
ing of putting into effect their orig
inal plan to take Borneo and see
what happens.
They are not anxious for the time
being to go further. The leaders in
Toxic talk about challenging the
United States. but fundamentally
they would rather obtain what they
want piecemeal rather than risk
an open break with this country.
They realize a direct attack against
Singapore and the Dutch East In
dies would not be an easy game.
Both possessions can resist a long
/ time But BOrneo is outside Singa-
pore. it is inadequately prepared
to face japanese attack and the
whole thing could be over in a short
time without actually forcing an
issue with the United States.

Public Health Sum Of
Many Factors Of Life
public Health OF Community
Associated With That Of
individuals

Because it answers the uestion so
.ston asked by youngsters-an 9TH
.s mt so young What is Public
uooItb?" the following memorandum
:. brought to their attention by DR.. R.
Il Riley, Director Of the State De-
nortment Of Health. 1t was written a
pnmber of years ago by one of the
nioneer leaders in public health in
ibis country, DR.. John S. Fulton, the
frst full-tme Director of the Mary
land State Department of Health who
n,os appointed to that office in 1896.
He retired because of failing health
IN 1928 but continued as Director
Emeritus until his death in 1881.
Health" DR.. Fulton wrote, "has
, nersonal meaning for everybody, but
tbe full meaning of the word is only
roaized when something as we say
,ondangers the health, and then, very
often, when it is too late.
public health though closely re-
lated to personal health, does not sig
nfv much to most people What is
nublic health? 1t is the sum of the
health conditions of a country or COM
munity and is most conspicuously ex-
messed by the extent to which sick
vase nrcvails and death occurs.
AS a matter of fact, public health
Is very complex result of all the
factors in the life of a community be-
cause all have some bearing on the
health of the individual. The very
houses in which we live, the offices,
sbops or factories in which we work;
tbe sort of work we do; the purity or
lack of purity of the food we eat, the
air we breathe and the water we
drink; our customs; our amusements;
our recreations; our habits, all have
something to do with our health
"On that account, it is practically
mpossiblc to think of the health of
the community without associating it
in some way with the health of the
individual You or | may follow all
the laws of health so far as we know
them. but unless we are adequately
safeguardcd by community measures,
our health defcnses are exceedingly
weak
"Since the dawn of time, people and
governments have given thought to
health, both of the individual and of
the community. The old Greeks paid
homage to Esculapius, the god Of
medicine, and side by side with his
temple was frequently found that
dedicated to his daughter, Hygeia, the
goddess Of health.
Modern scientific discoveries, and
especially those relating to the causes
of disease, have put means in the
hands Of the people Of today that the
ancents never dreamed Of. These
discoveries are the foundation Of pub
lie health as it is put into practice
today Progress in public health
means protection against disease, OPP
portunity for the development Of a
stronger, healthier, generation and
extension of the average duration of
life.
in no field has public health made
greater advances than in the protcc-
ton of the health of children. In
this as in other aspects Of public
health the key word is prevention
prevention Of disease and prolonga-
ton of life And the extent to which
this knowledge is applied in protect
ing the health of the future citizens
Of a country, has come to be regarded
as the measure Of the progress and
enlightenment of the community"
