FOR WANT OF A NAIL the shoe was lost; for want of shoe the horse lost for want of horse the rider lost and the ancient tale clear up to the tremendous climax when nation was lost.
 There's modern parallel to that graphic word pie of snowba that rolls to mountainous proportions. It is the conagon of tuberculosis This month The Ter ritoria Department of Health and the Nome Health Council reveals something of the malevolent spread of this disease Eight out of ten people who enter the torum in advanced stages of the disease These ate undiscovered may easily infect eight discovered cases and so on multiplying unt-as in the adage-a nation is lost.
 A nation forewarned is nation forearmed The American Government builds battleshps the theory that is precautionary way of avoiding Just one of the battleshps will cost we'll $50O00000 It is interesting to note to what lengths preparedness can go in the face of an unknown conflict.
 But the tuberculosis front the is constant y with the enemy located, the campaign mapped Fifty million dollars adds just unit to national men What would it do for the offensive against tuber cuoss? Just this: for $50O 900 every man, woman and child in the United States could be xrayed for the possibility of tuberculosis infection What victory that would lead to in the ageold battle against this dsease
 That is intelligent warfare These the tactics the Health Department would wish to have employed gen. erally throughout Alaska Help find those eight before it is late The x-ray will do it. Have your chest x-rayed in the Community X-ray Survey.

[ provision which permits signatory governments to make and en- force regulations applicable to for eign correspondents relating di- rectly to the maintenance of na- tional military security, if such regulations apply equally to all correspondents"
 Censors long have justified their work in the name of "mlll- tary security" There is no aSSur- ance that they could not continue to do so under this provision. Per haps, as the New York Times sug- gests, better way to handle pro- lection of military secrets would be to deal with them in the article relating to travel within a nation.
 An agreement such as Finnegan envisages probably would not in- tereSt Russia or it's satellite nations in eastern Europe. No dictatorship ever IldS lCll SO NoilliNiSIiL ol PSPe lar support that it would grant such broad privileges to it's own information agencies, let alone those of foreign nations. But Fin negan does not expect Russia to go along. In his letter of transmittal he said:
 We should enter into no treaty with any country on any terms that shrink American practice one jot. We cannot abridge freedom of the press under our Constitution: we should not do if by treaty"
 This is a sane and defensible po- sition to take. II should be adopted by our negotiators at Geneva. The number of countries willing to subscribe to our high standards of press, freedom may be discourag- ingly small at first. But our cause would be i'll served by lowering those standards for the sake of de- ceptive unanimity.

 As one of the worlds most eminent novelists Dr. Mann has gift for probing individual national mentality.
 "Germany," says Dr. Mann, takes morbid pride in her tragedy, believing it to be unique. It is self pity, part of the national egotism which is preventing Germany from cooperating with the Allies in her vval"
 This describes actual condition which many per- foresaw before Germanys collapse, but which to have been forgotten in the face of more mme diate duties The Germans, fancying themselves be- insist upon being waited They arrogant in defeat in victory.
 active recognition of the attitude which Dr. Mann described will not solve all the problems of Ger many But it might serve to help set frm consistent American policy and thus simplify the task that is still to be done.

IT HAS HAPPENED THERE

Most of us thought it would never happen. But it has. Accord ing the the Associated Press, the House of Commons on August approved bill giving the British government authority to tell it's people where they must work and what they must do. This means that the government may ordec men and women to do whatever job it pleases: coal mining, farni- ing, fishing, anything. Moreover it means the government may choose the place where any man or woman must work.
 This is a drastic step. Why i; in. dividual freedom thus oesh oyed by country with such a long rec ord of high devotion to the indi- vidual citizen and to freedom? The answer is simple. Two years ago a socialistic government embarked upon a campaign for government management of leading industries in England. Things were in such bad way, because of weakness from war, that the people rs"- mitted this.
 Crisis Upon Crisis
 The socialistic government re- lied upon nationwide sympathy and cooperation. However, this lasted only few weeks. Then. an absenteeism set in and productiv- ity Jagged, the whole system bog ged down. The crisis came last winter, when a terrible coal fam inc came to that country with plenty of coal under ground. Un- der socialism, crisis thrives on cri- sis, and there were more to come. In these crises, it is easy for men to accept disaster, if they think it will prevent more disaster.
 That is what has happened. Tn an apparent final resort to keep government management O. in-
