Captain Miller Freeman, long a militant fighter against the menace of the Japanese and their encroachments upon Alaska, published in Pacific Fisherman for January, 1938, the following excerpts from an article, “A Solution of Pacific Problems,” written by Retsu K. Kiyosawa and published in The Japan Times and Mail, October 29-31, 1935: JUNEAURESTAURANTS DECLARE MEATLESS WEDNESDAY WEEKLY ToJoininthe Plan to Conserve Meat forVictory Every restaurant in Juneau is joining in this meat conservation plan. ¢ All intelligent people know that a deadlock has been reached in existing international relations, and that unless something can be contrived, another world catastrophe is inevitable. I believe the United States is in a position to play the role of leadership in bring- ing about a new world order. America can do this by offering Alaska for redistribution. >> Gounds Fan-Fotehed, Dovsn t J#2 But not to the Japanese mind. By observing a meatless day a week, we will be do- ing our share in this effort to help win the war. We will be cooperating with the OPA. Don't forget, that a meatless day at a restaurant doesn't mean that you can't eat CHICKEN or TURKEY or any POULTRY or FISH . . . and we will make ev- ery effort to plan as appetizing menusas possible so that you wont even miss meat on Wednesdays. Every Restaurant in Juneau has joined in this meat conservation plan. : ‘ | It appears there’s just one way to teach the Japs a few home truths . . . for instance, that Alaska is as much a part of America as is Kansas and intends to stay that way.
