Enough ‘A-udoncc has ben found in these’ roundups to prove that the Japanese fifth column was sufficiently pre- pared to do some real damage. We in Alsska are told that the Territory now is |of considerable importance as a strategic military |area. We also are told quite often that an attack on Alaska is probable.
