Here, in the first of a series of three articles, he tells what the war means to Alaska and what Al- aska means to America. The articles all bear a Juneau date line.) By SAM JACKSON AP Feature Service Staff Writer JUNHAU, Alaska——The largesi, richest area of undeveloped terri- tory in the world, not even except- ing the interior of Africa and South | America, is a stake in the war be- tween Japan, the United Sta land Great Britain. Inhabitants of the eastern board states and even of suchhuge areas as Texas and California find it hard to grasp the immensity of Alaska and British Columbia and the Yukon and Northwest Ter- ritories. sea- great prizes for an expanding, overpopulated na- tion such as Japan. They rival and possibly excel the ancient teeming lands of the Far East to which the Nippon nation so far has directed her energies. They constitute a great fron- tier, comparable te that which American pioneers found when they invaded the West. | Nothing is so erroneous as the general impression that Alaska | and western Canada are bleak, in- hospitable regions of perpetual ice | and snow. The warm waters O the Japanese current mu:lma'n‘ the temperature, giving much of the coastal area a climate similar| to that of the northern United States. Inland, the winters are severe. But old timers comment that once the temperature drops to zero it doesn't make much practical dif- ference if it goes to 40 to 50 be-| low. At Fairbanks, near the Arctic Circle, life goes on comioxlably {and normally the year round. Difficult Defense The riches of this land consis's of fish, timber, various minerals, and furs. Under American owner- iship the tourist attractions are . valuable. A land-hungry nation like Japan could develop incal-, culoble agricultural and dairy s0w ces. Both the conquests and de- fense of Alaska and western Canada present problcms prob ably unigue in warfare. Most of the population is confined to a few small, wide- ly separated settlements. Out- side of these is wilderness. Al- aska has about one inhabitant to cvery tem square miles, and nearly half the population is Indian. The vast, sprawling area of Canada’s Northwest Territories is virtually unin- habited. Strategic Position To protect key positions in Al- aska the Navy has established powerful bases at Dutch Harbor.i situated on the distant Aleutian island of Unalaska, and at Kodiak | and Sitka.
