If we wish to be fair in our
views of world affairs we have
to consider not only govern
ments and their policies, but
! the wtorld of human beings
living under them and their
opportunities for development.
“No One to Blame, by M. C.

j tions and deals not with theo

paragraph in all its 276 pages.

i glimpse; of that quaint and
picturesque land and its inhab
itants in “My Normandy.”
Those who see in present con

Delegate A. J. Dimond
Had Very Close Call
That Delegate A. J. Dimond’s
recent illness was far more ser
ious than the brief news re
ports indicated at the time is
indicated in the following
statement issued by his Wash
ington office on November 17
and received by mail this
week:
“Marked progress toward re
covery has been made in the
past 24 hours by Delegate Di
mond. Speedy return to a nor
mal state of good health is
forecast by the attending phy
sicians.
“That such a statement would
ever be issued appeared high
ly improbable on Monday and
Tuesday of this week. Then
his condition was so gravely
critical that even the most op
timistic could not well expect
his survival.
“Since it is not believed any
detailed account of his illness
has been given, and since his
Alaska friends will wish to
learn the facts, a short report
of the circumstances is set
forth here:
“On October 26, Mr. Dimond
entered Providence Hospital,
a local institution, and the fol
lowing morning underwent an
operation for repair of a hern
ia. The operation was success
ful in all respects and by
Thursday, November 8, the
Delegate had so far recovered
he expected to go home Satur
day to complete convalescence.
“But Friday found him with
a temperature, and his condit
ion grew steadily worse until
it was discovered a state of em
bolism existed. Stripped of
medical nomenclature, there
was a clot in the blood stream.
“A severe attack, which was
almost fatal occurred Monday
morning. But instead of stop
ping the heart or passing to the
brain, the embolus lodged in a
lung, where slow absorption
could take place. Normally
that would have meant danger
was past. In this instance,
however, another clot formed
and the same risk was again
present. Once more a painful
attack set in and it ended to
find the clot resting in the oth
er lung.
Fearful that this process
might be repeated, and wor
ried by Mr. Dimond’s weak
ened condition, the doctors de
clined to issue any reassuring
statement until the afternoon
of November 14, when they
gave it as their opinion he was
out of danger. He made slaw
progress during the next day,
but has steadily gained in
strength since then.
Nj small factor in his conval
escence has been the many
messages received from
Alaska.
