December, 1940) charts exist the great ajorty
of Aleutan ndentations, and many OF those that do
exist cannot be trusted"
No charts? THE JAPS HAD CIIARTS-carefully
prepared by Jap Fishermen" who infested the region
And the Japs came-as Billy Mitchell predicted IN
THE NIGHT, OUT OF A FOG.
THE Jap stroke that General Mitchell foresaw has
i begun. And it is of vital interest to Americans
to consider the facts that Billy Mitchell laid before the
House military affairs commission that morning in 1885.
His warnings similar to those coming today
from Prime Minister Hepburn of Ontario; Anthony j.
Dmond congressional delegate from Alaska and others
His fears those which spurred the Senate military
affairs subcommittee, its way Alaska to investi-
gate the situation.
Billy Mitchell was speaking out of a keen, personal
knowledge of Alaska And he speaking, too, out of
keen appreciation of type of warfarewar in the
air.

He said

for aircraft and that is either of Europe, Asia
North America. | BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE HE
WHO HOLDS ALASKA WILL HOLD THE WORLD,
AND THINK 1T is THE MOST STRATEGIC PLACE
IN THE WORLD"
What did he mean by that? Billy Mitchell was blunt:
"H Japan seizes Alaska she take New
York"
If America did not appreciate the strategic truth of
Alaska he said the Japanese did. He predicted:
They Won't attack Panama. They uW come
right here to Alaska"
