The following letter is being
mailed to each member Of the

MY Dear Exchangeite:
In re: Active cooperation with

I'm an editorial of the Whining
ton Star on Friday morning May
"a, it was pointed out, that, we
cannot hope to get ahead until
there is complete dissatisfaction
with present inaction, that is true
and we must not be satisfied with
anything less. than the best efforts
of every citizen of our city and
county. The editorial further states
that there has been too much
time devoted to inconclusive, ram
bling talk of this and that and too
little time and effort devoted to a
united, constructive program for
advancement.
ut has been proposed that a
committee to be composed of
members of the various civic clubs
Of the city be appointed for the
purpose of unifying the efforts of
all in a constructive program, the
objective of which would be, in
every possible way to advance
the interests of the people of
Wilmington and New Hanover
county. Bring new people to
our city and county, new industry,
new trade, new shipping, new COM
merce and above all more hap
piness to all of the people who
are fortunate enough to live with
in Jul borders. This can be &C
complished with the co-ordinated
efforts of our business men, pro-
fessional men, civic clubs, cham
bers of commerce, and by telling
the world of the fine and lovely
place in which we live, of its nat
Iural resources and advantages en-
dowed by God.
THE Kiwanis Club is to be COM
mended for bringing this matter
to the attention of our people, and
we with all of our fellow citizens
should cooperate with our enthu-
siastic and active support.
II call on you as a loyal citizen
Of Wilmington and as a loyal men,

to Africa. but also those crossing
the Strait Of Otranto to Albania.
1t may even be possible for the
British to maintain their light forces
and aircraft as far forward as
Cephalonia, with results which must
be serious indeed to all Southern
Italy and Sicily, as well as to Ital-
ian forces in Albania. Anything
which thus reduces or counters Ital-
ian air dominance Of the Central
Mediterranean in turn reacts in
favor Of greater British freedom Of
action in every way. Malta, for ex-
ample. becomes more useful as a
British base, and the Italian sup
ply lines to Tripoli are endangered
in their turn.
Effect in North Africa.
One effect Of the increased Brit
ish control of the Mediterranean
may well be felt in French North
Africa, where influences exist which
are favorable to the cause Of Free
France" These influences must be
highly encouraged by the successive
revelations of italian weakness,
which the past three weeks have
afforded, and which have culmi-
mated in an operation which greatly
diminishes Italy's power to act de-
cisively on the south shore Of the
Mediterranean
1t may we'll be assumed that
every effort will be made by the
axis leaders to offset these Italian
failures, both by resuming with
larger forces the offensive against
