Administrator of the FERA has made an appropria tion of $1,000,000 for public health Service and appointed Dr. C. E. Walle, Assistant Surgeon-General in charge of State Relations of thr United States Public Health service, a® medical director of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration The funds will be used to augment the work of established health ser. vices of countie* co-operating with thr United States Public Healh ser. vice. In etatete where no county unit health service has been set up a State director will be approved by Dr. Waller- His job will be to organise and aid local health officials in pro motng health program* in every eounty. The states will be expected to do their share In carrying on this work. In many «tate» much has been done in public health and medical ser vice, though limited by lack of funds. Trained personnel and supeervision are generally available. “The foundation is we’-l laid”, said Dr. Waller, “we must continue to build a publio health service to meet every American’s medical needs re gardless of race, creed or financial condition.” Dr. Waller is now on a tour of the country visiting State Relief Adminis trators. He also will contact leaders in the medical profession, health of ficials and heads of hospitals in hi® official capacity in order to discuss problems which have arisen duing the past few years- Dr. Waller com mented upon the successful post graduate arrangement recently af fected through Edwin R. Embree, director of the Rosenwald Fund; Doc tsrs Davis, Roran and Bousseld, with whom he conferred duing the national conference called by Dr. Roscoe Brow*n at the United States health service in Washington. At that time it w<n-s brought out that much has been done to make available hospital facilities for post-graduate work and care of Negro patients by their own family doctors in Carolina, Georgie and Louisiana. Dr. Waller cited the FERA rules and regulations No. 7 governing med ical care provided in the home to re cipients of unemploymrnt relief These assure equal consideration for all members of the medical profession. Paragraph “b” reads: “Licensed practitioners of medicine *nd related professions —-When a program of medical care in th ehome for indigent persons has been offi cially adopted, participation shall be open to all physicians licensed to practice medicine in the State, sub ject to local statutory limitations and the general policy outlined in regu lation 1, above. Physicians author, ized by relief officials to give medical care under this program shall have accepted, or shall be willing to accept the regulations and restrictions in herent in such a program- In or. der to provide adequate medical care it may be desirable for local relief officials to maintain on a district basis a list or file of physicians in the community who have agreed in writing to comply with the officially adopted program. Such a list of physicians should also facilitate a more equitable distribution of or ders for medical services. “A similar policy and procedure shall be followed in the peparation of approved lists of nurses, den tists and pharmacists. Licenfiure and, or registration t© practice their respective professions in the State shall be a prerequisite to approval of graduate nurses, dentists, and phar macists for authorized participation in the officially approved State pro gram for the provision of medical can far indigent persons in their honsea." . , I AMAZE A MINUTE I SCIENTIFACTS BY ARNOLD ^ A GROWING ?

Economic Highlights Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pails, Dividend Cheeks and Tax Bills of Every Individual.. National and International Problems Inseparable from Local Welfare. The three great Pacific powers— the United States, Great Britain and Japan—are at present involved in a complicated embroglio, -with counter, plots, quiet diplomacy and plain ordi sary hard-foelings dominating the proceedings, and with the chance of armed conflict in the offing.. As Raymond Leslie Buell recently pointed out in a feature article in the New York Times, the three-power navy discussions, now going on ia London, have eached an impasse be cause of disagreement over three vital issues: First, the military question, involv ing Japan’s demand for naval parity with Great Britain and America (the present ratio is 5—5—3, with Nippon on the short end); •second. the political question, in volving Japan’s ambition to expand into Asia; Third, the commercial question, in volving the expansion of Japanese foreign trade, at the expense of Eng land and the United States. Japan has flatly refused to contin ue the existing naval ratio—she de mands parity and threatens to sign no more treaties, when the present one runs out in 1936, unless it ir giv en her. Both England and the U.. S. are afraid to agree to pacity—yet each nation knows that if Japan starts building ships, undeterred by treaties, they will have to follow. The result would be a gigantic naval race, cost ing hundreds of millions of dollars, and inceasing the chances for war.. Once a nation newly develops a first class naval or military machine, it is inevitably eager to try it out on soma adversary. As for th« second issue, Japan’c desire to take over part of Asia may be explained in two words: Iron; oil No nation can be a major power with out these commercial ad military es sentials, and Japan at present must obtain all her steel and oil from abroad.. If she could control the great, undeveloped iron mines and oU fields of Manchuria she would be in a much stronger and safar position. It la also eom»on|y believed th* Japan needs new territory in order to provide space for its people —she is vastly overpopulated at pres ent. However, the Japanese are poor colonizers—they seem to pos sess Uttle pioneering instinct.. For example, some years ago Japanese officials made a determined effort to send emigrants to Korea. They of fered substantial payment, both in l®nd and in cash, to those who would go- Yet only a handful of the under fed. underpaid, overworked Japanese peasants were willing to take on the job.. As a result, It seems certain that colonization is a comparatively small item in Nippon’s ambition to move eastward. The third issue. that of commerce, is one of the most irksome. It’s a well known fact that the Japanese are poor innovators—but munificent imitators.. If someone start# manu facturing a product in a western country, the Japanese are usually able to produce a competitive product, as good or almost as good, at a frac tion of the price. Between 1981 and 1933, Japan increased her world ex ports of rayon 'yarn by 822 per cent; her exports of woolen yam by 514 per cent; her export* of woolen piece goods by 788 per cent- In addition, she is sending othe product* into the world market, to be sold at prices American and English manufacturers cannot nqeet.. This is partly due to Japanese efficiency—and largely due to low wages, depreciation of the yen and long worving hours. The Japan ese worker puts in between 55 and 60 hours a week—and all major indus tries have been formed into cartels and trusts, to lower costs. It seems certain that a trade war will develop before! long—plready both England and the United States have put up tariff barriers to lessen the im ports of certain Japanese products.. However, Japan is a good customer of both countries—and it is obviuos that if her exports are cut off, she •will retaliate by reducing her im ports . That is the Pacific question as it now stand, and all the disagreements in London over the naval treaty re volve around these.three issues. It is an important fact that, under Japan’s form of government, the arn-jy and navy are not subject to the control of the Diet—they are respons ible solely to the “Son of Heaven,” Japan’s much-beloved young Emper or.. Thus, it would be possible for Japanese government officials to talk resoundingly in favor of world peace —while Japanese troops and ships set out for war. * -. The government’s great housing campaign is beginning to how results. Contruction touched bottom in 1933, when, during an average four weeks, only $18.000;000 was spent as com pared with $59,000;000 during a sim ilar period in 1931.. The new cam paign started in the middle of Au gust, end in the four weeks following $19.000;000 was spent. In the four weeks ending October 13th $29,000 000 went into homes, and $36;000;000 was spent during the four weeks which closed an November 10. It is estimated that more han 1, 006,000 homes; involving an expendi ture of $8,000;000;000 would h*r« been built had there bee* no depres sion..

P. Sam&rdick 929 S- 42 St. Omaha, Nebr Dear Mr. Samardick: I took it up with Mr. Alien, at the time he was chief of this department, in regards to the traffic on 24th street following several accidents that oc curred. At that time I asked for slow down signs between Grace Bnd Burdette Streets. These streets are sr narrow, and those passing some time* fail to see cars coming or going when coming from behind parked cars- They stated that in front ol the theatre there sholld he no parked car*- I could not see the benefit of this. This was started but not con tinued. In mose communities where streets are narrow, coming into a highway, there »re stop signs. For the protection of the public I would suggest and think it advisable, between Cuming and Maple streets, to put stop signs in the streets entering 24th street. There have berr eight people killed in the past two years which accidents I believe could have been avoided if this section had had more protection Regardless of how large or how small one may be, one’s life is worth every thing to him, and on0© destroyed can not be replaced This >6 food fon thought, and I am ^asking that we will receive coopera tion to the extent that something will materialize that will be beneficial to this seetiion Thanking you verly much. Respectfully yours, Dr. G. B Lennox G- B- Lennox, M. D 2122% North 24th Street, Omaha, Dear Sir: Your letter with reference to traffic signs for 24th Street between Cuming and Maple Streets, received and I have referred your letter to Lieutrn ant Frank E. Haley in charge of our Traffic Bureau for his attention. Lieutenant Hairy will take the proposition up with you and advise you what can be done. Yours very truly, Robt.
