 He declared that Alaska has more arabic land than Sweden and Finland together and that Alaska's rich volcanic soil is cas- fly cultivated. He asserted it could produce as much food as Japan needs.
 'It is against all contempor- ary principles" Wilkins declar- ed, "to furnish Japan with any thing it needs, but in the long run, after this war, that will be better than having the Japanese continue fighting for it.
 II Alaska were developed and should open trade win Japan to furnish the Nipponese their needs in food, timber and pos siby oil, there would be no req son for that country to fight again for these things"
 Sir Hubert said that Alaska could be the point for the as- sembly of air forces if it be- comes necessary for the Allied Nations to police the world, since planes can now fly without stop ping from Alaska to any capital in the northern hemisphere.
