JAPAN, AT LEAST,
GAINS BY ETHIOPIAN
WAR
Whether Signor Mussoli
ni ever succeeds in getting
his shoulder firmly under
the white man’s burden in
Africa, he at least seems
certain to give the Japan
ese a powerful boost in
their drive across Asia.
This isn’t at all what the
Italian dictator set out to
do, but the Japanese are
great people for making
hay while sun shines; and
the Italo-Ethiopian war con
stitutes, from the Japanese
standpoint, one of the most
noble outpourings of sun
shine that has been seen
since the World war.
The cables from China
have been carrying signifi
cant dispatches of late.Step
by step, the Japanese have
been edging forward in
their plan to bite off anoth
er chunk of the world’s
most ancient nation.
Now all this, as Nathaniel
Peffer points out in the cur
rent issue of Asia magazine
is a direct result of Musso
lini’s drive on Ethiopia.
The European nations do
not want to see Japan sub
jugate China. Robbing the
Chinese is a game tradition
ally reserved for whites.
But Mussolini has given
Europe something to think
about much closer home.
The merry old game of
robR' ig the African has al
wav s been a closed game,
too, and when an outsider
begins to muscle in on it,
the players have no e es
for’ anything that may hap
pen somewhere else.
This constitutes opportun
ity for Japan, and the Jap
anese have never yet been
known to miss an opportun
ity when it was offered to
them.
But the opportunity is
even wider than that. Sup
pose that the league does
finally work out a peaceful
solution of the Ethiopian
tangle. Every suggestion
yet made for such a solu
tion cafls for the surrender
byEthiopia to Italy of much
wealth in the way of land
and resources.
The holdup, in other
words, is to be stopped by
having the victim hand ov
er his watch and half of his
bankroll, anyway.
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD

SCARLET FEVER
_
DR. WILLIAM C. CHARTERIS RECOMMENDS FOL
LOWING PRECAUTIONS BE UNDERTAKEN
IN EFFORT PREVENT SCARLET FEVER AT
NOME, ALASKA.
In an effort to prevent the occurrence of Scarlet
Fever in Nome, the following precautions are to be ob
served.
1. Children and adolescents should be watched
closely for sore throats and not permitted to attend
school or mingle with other people while the sore throat
persists.
2. Mail from Fairbanks—the envelopes of which
will be disinfected when delivered—should be opened,
read, burned and the reader's hands thoroughly wash
ed with soap and water.
3. All persons arriving from Fairbanks shall re
port at once to the acting Territorial Health Officer, for
examination and instructions.
4. Any suspected case of Scarlet Fever shall be
reported immediately to the Health Officer.

The moral lesson in any
such settlement as that
would be definite proof
hat the way for a needy
nation to get what it wants
is to take a couple of hand
gr: nades and go calling on
the fellow across the street.
Obviously, if an aggress
or is to be bought off by a
tender of the loot he was af
ter in the first place, the
effort to restrain interna
tional banditry has collaps
ed utterly.
Mussolini may never con
quer the Ethiopians, but he
is making Japanese con
quest of China a great deal
easier and more certain.;
And Mr Peffer, veteran ob
server of oriental trends,
remarks dryly:
“If I were a Japanese gen
eral, I should light incense
before the Duce’s portrait
in one of the more furioso
presentiments he loves so
well.”—Exchange.
RADIO INTERFERENCE.
Ross A. Swift, engaged by
the Juneau city council to
eliminate unnecessary rad
io interference, stated at a
recent Chamber of Com
merce meeting at Juneau,
that most of the radio nois
es were caused by a poor
type of wiring and to a
lighting system that is not
grounded. “The difference
between interferance and
set noises may be determin
ed by leaving everything
else as it was with the set
turned on and removing
the aerial connection. If
the noises cease it is out
side interference, but if
they persist, though dim,
the noise is in the set it
self,” he said.
There’s one place Ameri
ca could stand a little ero
sin—in some of its current
novels.
The end of the world will
come some day but we
won’t be around to listen to
the arguments about it.
