surprising earlier advices from
China that Japanese forces were
evacuating Hainan island, pivo-
tai strategic position at the mouth
CT the gulf of Tongkin, appear at
least premature if not wholly un-
founded. Yet there are evidences
OF growing enemy uneasiness in
that sector.
Chungking reports of Nipponese
offensive activities on Hoihone
peninsula in southern Kwangtung in
dlcate Japanese fear that Hainan
might be isolated. If that were
done it could fall into Allied hands
as an advance base for the merg-
ing east-west air attack on enemy
mainland and sea communications.
In Chinese hands Hainan would
OTTER glittering possibilities. It lies
due west of northern Luzon some
1OO miles and within close ali
striking distance of the China and
lndo-China coast line along which
run highly vulnerable Japanese
land communications with forces
to the south.
For that reason if no other a
desperate enemy stand on Hainan
would seem indicated. Chinese
military spokesman now report
that while an enemy detachment
was withdrawn from the island,
resumably for the action in prog
ress on Hoihong peninsula, the
main garrison on Hainan still is
intact.
1t is vital safeguard for what
its left of enemy life line contacts
with IndoChina, Thailand and the
Malay peninsula; even with SUI
naatra and Java. Its surrender
would represent final abandonment
by Tokyo of all forces deployed
south of China.
Hoihong peninsula juts due south
ward from the Kwangtung coast
west of Hong Kong. 1t reaches
the north coast of Hainan island
like a draw bridge and is the route
for maintaining contact between
the Hainan garrison and japanese
forces on the mainland.
Chungking has disclosed that two
Japanese columns were in opera
ton north and northeast of Linn
kong, an important junction point
of the KWangtung coastal rail sys-
tenn crossing the base of the PENN
sula.
Linkong lies over 270 miles
southeast of one of the two main
points of Chinese attack from the
west on the China-Indo- China en-
envy corridor. Liuchow. At last
reports the Chinese had driven to
within three miles of that former
American 18th Air Force base at
two points. Its capture seemed
imminent.
South of the Liuchow sector,
where Chinese forces at last reports
had crossed the upper arm of the
West river on broad front, they
were within so miles Of Limkong
The motive of Japanese offensive
on Hoihong peninsula has stirred
speculation in Chungking, turning
largely on the assumption that it
is a move to protect communica-
tons with Hainan. There can be
no question about its strategic
values, or that it's loss would be a
blow to Japanese hope of rescuing
any part of the armies to the south

Rotarians Hear Contract
Let For Neckwear Plant
Continued from Page One)

Seeing that Wilmington would be
adequately supplied with housing
facilities and higher type labor, the
group laid plans to utilize these fac
tors to obtain new industries for the
city which led to their incorporation
as Industrial properties which has a
capitalization of 5000, 1000 Mr.. Thorn
ton said.
Explaining the need for the pro-
vision of housing for small business
es, he said that many smaller bus
inesses are unable to build their
own plants due to need of liquid
capital with which to extend credit
and maintain inventories. s
Mr.. Thornton concluded with the
statement that he hoped that other
businesses would be attracted by
the plan and that other buildings
are being planned for their accom-
odation.
Howard Penton, who introduced
Mr.. Thornton, told Rotarians fol-
lowing the speech, that Mr. Thorn
ton is now serving as president of
Industrial Properties, Inc, without
remuneration.
G. Colucci, president of the
Southern Box and Lumber company
told members that he concurred
with Mr.. Thornton in the belief that
the best way to get small industries
that are usually able only to carry
their inventories and rent floor
space was to provide buildings for
them.
Earlier in the program. the Rev.
Mortimer Glover read a letter of
appreciation from Horace T. King,
Jr., who is recovering from injuries
received in a fall, thanking the
club for flowers sent him.
