Health Tests Prior to
Marriage Being Required

Chicago, Mar. 10-AP-Legisla-
tive movements are under way in
nearly a score of states to attack
the spread of syphilis and other
communicable diseases by enact
ment of laws for pre-marital ply

This was shown today in a sur

proposed marriage and divorce law
changes pending in state legisla-
lures now in session. The changes,
II finally enacted into law, would
range from the reduction of resi-
dent requirements for divorce to the
making OF incurable insanity a
ground for legal separation.
Utah's legislature, the survey
showed, already has passed bill 10

nations, as well as one preventing
the marriage of persons with com
municable venereal diseases, while
the lawmakers Of Is other states
have received pre.marriage health
requirement proposals.
The Is states with such proposals
pending are Arizona, Missouri, Ne.
vada, New Mexico, Washington,
Kansas. Ohio, Georgia, Maryland,
Nebraska, Massachusetts, Maine,
Vermont, Texas and Iowa.
In Iowa, where there has been a
flourishing "Gretna-Green" business
from couples coming from other
states to escape marriage health
laws, the senate has passed a bill
to require medical examinations
within 90 days prior to issuance Of
wedding licenses. The house. how
ever, has not yet acted on the
measure.

They glad to give Jerry credit for being good soldier. Otherwise what credit was there for them in showing him backP And many veterans on both sides doubtless realized that there was occupatona link between all men engaged in the trade of war with the mud as deep in one trench as another and the cooties just as troublesome.

TWO ENDS OF THE AXIS

The exact correspondence in time between Japanese demands in Indo-China and the develop ment of new German threat in the Balkans is no mere coincidence It was foreshadowed in the Japanese Italian German military alliance nounced last September.
 It is clear that from the Nazi viewpoint this pact is pure gain, with off-setting risk of any kind. The mere announcement that the alliance exists tends to divert from Europe units of the British Navy and other British resources; it diverts a certain amount of Australian and New Zealand help from the European zone; and it forces the United States to put of its strength in the Pacific that less go toward direct aid to England. It compels us to worry about the possi bility of war on two fronts. Similarly, it forces Stalin who had already been appeasng Hitler al- most to the point of outright alliance also to worry about the possibility of attack two fronts For Nazi Germany the Japanese pact is ideal arrange ment
 For Japan the gains more nebulous. To the group that made the pact it doubtless seemed good
 idea at the time. Great Britain then may have seemed on the verge of going under in Asia that would leave huge prizes to be seized. The morale at home. it was calculated, would be lifted by the announcement that Japan had very powerful friend in the, world. The alliance might help Japan to reconce. uffferences with Russia through Ger man mediation; in any case it might frghten Stalin enough to assure the Japanese that they would not have Russian threat at their rear if they moved south. Finally, mere announcement of the alliance it was hoped, would also frghten America into ap- peasement we would not oppose Japans aims for fear of arousing Germany against
 No doubt Japan has got few odds and ends of advantage out of the alliance. One of them is military instruction Japanese officers are in Ger many and German officers in Japan. In addition certain amount of material has been exchanged via Russia. But the alliance has already had obviously bad effects for the Japanese militarists and could prove disastrous to Japan. Its first result was to provoke American resentment. The United States stepped up its help to China by announcing loan of $1O0,000000 in December; Great Britain followed suit by announcing f100O0OOO loan a few days
