Alaska Danger
Seen By Senator
Washington — Senator Mon
Wallgren, democrat, Washing
toD, said that. Japan undoubted
ly has accurate information of
the American situation in Alaska
ind the Aleut an island, togeth
er with charts of potentially im
portant waters of naval warfare.
Wallgrcn asserted that as late
is Seplember I he Japanese were
charting areas in the vicinity ol
the American naval base at
Dutch Harbor, the nearest
United States base to Japan. He
recalled that he informed author
ities of the situation.
“The Japanese brought in ves
sels as large as NOOO tons and
sent oil' small boat fishing fleets
oft Alaska,’’ lie said. '‘They fish
ed in waters of Bristol bay and
cbewheie. even though the fish
ing was not good and Amci ican
fishermen avoided the wahers.
“My information is that there
was no real run of salmon in (he
waters in which the Japanese opr
crated. They were not far from
Dutch Harbor.
"There is no doubt but that
the fishing was a subterfuge—
that they were making maps,
taking weather observations and
jaining accaurate infoimation of
this important strategic area.”
The scheme, Wallgren said,
was a part of the duplicity of
the Japanese in preparation for
their attack on the United States

Poem
I have smelt the vagrant
breezes
Have you?
I walk the path that pleases
Do you?
I have felt the brooding sil
ence,
Cloistered in with pine and fir,
Filled my cup to over-flowing
In a noisy, swirling stream.
Are you lonely?
Come with me
