Cutting Own Throat “Unless the farmer can be con vinced that it is not patriotic to cut . his own throat,” Galphin said, : “and unless the pulp wood industry ’ can be stopped from making him believe that it is patriotic, acres and acres of timber will be so desolate that it will take at least 30 years for new trees to replace the ones so wantonly destroyed.” Onslaught Begun It was during the war when the farmer, in sincerely patriotic re sponse to the government’s plea for pulp wood industry, busy in the manufacture of pulp pap'er for shipping-cartons, sold the farm er on the idea of cutting down his trees and selling it to the industry.

Either alternative is a desperate one, and certainly there is as yet no reason to admit what those who say this is our dilemma are in fact assuming: that the United States is so weak in power and influence that it can take no line of its own, and can only say yes to somebody else. Yet the United States is bound to take a line of its own within the council of the Big Three. For we have impgrtant interests of our own in the Middle East, which we must assert and protect. If we can see them clearly, and sup port them wisely, we may yet be able to offer the British and the Russians a better prospect than the horrid dilemma they are now offering us. From our-point of view the ele ments of the Middle Eastern prob lem are, I think, these: The region is of the highest and most critical strategic importance; it is fabu (Continued on Page Two; Col. ’3) \ Along The Cape Fear IDENTIFICATION — The other day ALONG THE CAPE FEAR wondered who a Mrs. R.

Miss Cotchett and Mr. Lynch were married and have been living in Alaska ever since, we understand. That’s about all there is to it. Except maybe one or two items which may be considered plugs for the Star which we pass along to you prettily self-consciously. * * * PLEASED — It seems that some time ago a serviceman, stationed in Alaska, who is from Wilmington —we didn’t get the name. Maybe Mrs. Lynch will write us and identify him— got a batch of Stars and took them around to the Lynches home where the home folks got together and read about what’s happening in these parts. Mrs. Lynch was so pleased with her home town paper that Mr. Lynch just sat right down and wrote a check to the Star and sent it on here to Steadman Vick, circu lation manager, who in turn put the Lynches on the mailing list. * * » RATHER LATE DELIVERY —In checking up we find that the Lynches’ paper is being sent through the regular channels of mail.
