Text of annual message of DR..
W. d. Brown, association presi-
dent:
Members of the Minneapolis
Business and Professional AssOcia-
ton:
Greetings!
This meeting tonight marks the
beginning of the third year of
operation of our organization. We
have come through two years of
work, groundwork, which has been
thorough to a high degree and
which is ample for the erection of
a superstructure. During this early
period, the honor of leadership has
been accorded to me. Though radi-
cal by nature, / have striven to be
moderate and conservative in Or
der to amalgamate in spirit every
member, many of whom from the
first, by their independence, were
wary of such a union.
To me, the outstanding success
of this organization, within itself,
has been the development of a
comradeship, an understanding,
and a will to cooperate among in
dividuals who, by nature of their
occupations, were and still are to
a high degree independent of one
another. All, however, have seen
that to insure a better Minneapolis
for the Negro, concerted action is
necessary among those who are
spoken of as leaders or who have
that potentiality.
The various officers and commit
tees have done excellent jobs. All
are busy people but they have
found time to promote the OBJ
jectives of the organization and by
their actions the Association has
been we'll received in the commu-
nifty.
The Business and Professional
Association is respected in Mime
apolis.
Due to the fact that we are cru
sading for justice in civic affairs,
there are those on the outside who
will be ever ready to attribute ul-
terror motives to our programs. To
minimize and to counteract this, it
is up to US to build our organiza-
ton strongly on ethical principles,
to accept members who are a cred
it because of their business or pro-
fessional capacity, and likewise to
engender the spark that will slim
ulate all to higher goals and to
greater efficiency.
AS we meet from year to year
to elect officers, it is up to each
one of US to accept the response
bility of carrying on the work of
the organization. Everyone has

(By Associated Press)

The drive of the British forces in western Egypt is gaining momentum following the capture of Salum, the last Italian pocket of resistance and now all efforts are being expended on Fort Capuzzo, strategic highway terminus, 12 miles due south of Bardia, the next goal of the desert forces.
 MuSsolini's High Command says the battle on the Libyan front is raging with ferocity but none the less than on previous days"
 The High Command also declares the Italian air force has strongly wore down the enemy" but no men, ton is made on continual defeats by the P-itish desert forces as officially reported.
