THE ADVANCT, ONTARITO From a standpoint of comparison with British and United States mails, it might be noted that the Canadian Forces proceed to the Mediterranean from the United Kingdom. The U.S. Forces proceed directly from the Unitâ€" ed States. For security reasons Canaâ€" dian mails must be routed to the United Eingdom until such time as an official annoumcement is made of the Canaâ€" dian Forces having arrived in the theaâ€" tre of operations. As mentioned, the bulk of the U.S. Forces proceed directly from the United States and mail can be despatched by direct sailings as soon 2s it is announced that the troops have left the United States. As soon as Canâ€" ada is informed of the arrival of Canâ€" adian troops in .the Mediterranean, mails are ‘diverted‘ for tonveyante‘ ‘to drect sailings from the United States, bypassing the United Kingdom. Briâ€" tish troops, on the other hand, have not the long transâ€"Atlantic voyage to conmntend with and the United States send much of their ordinary letter mail by air. The above general remarks refer to the early stages of mail handling. The present situation is more important. All surface letters are despatched direct from New York to North Africa by Uniâ€" ted States ships whose mail carrying faâ€" cilities are open to us through the courâ€" tesy of the United States Post Office Defpartment. It is expected that after the United States Christmas rush has subsided, parcels for the Armed Forces will also go that way and thus avoid the extra time of being transferred: from England by convoy. But while surface letters and parcels hnad to yvield to the exigencies of the military situation, "blue" air letters since the middle of July have been reâ€" sularly and promptly delivered toâ€" the Italian base. Their progress beyond that to the front line has had its diffiâ€" culties which in general have been well Here is another example of mail for Canada from Sicily. A number of bags of parcels and letters which would inâ€" clude letters mailed by soldiers in the first weeks of August, were loaded on a boat which started in convoy about the end of August. Operating trouble forced it out of convoy to the nearest port. When ready to sail, it was sent on an operational trip and finally dockâ€" ed at Algiers the beginning of October vwith the despatches still on board. This mail could not possibly have been de~â€" livered in Canada before the end of October. Partial explanations of surface delays have been: 1. Security reasons in England. 2. Waiting for convoy. 3. Length of journey. The average elapsed time, surface mails, posted in Canada for delivery in the United Kingdom is 28 days, and beâ€" tween the United Kingdom and the Mediterranean, theatre 21 days. The Postmaster General, Honourable W. P. Mulock, thinks that a frank stateâ€" nient of what has been and is being done, will best serve to allay misunderâ€" standing. The Canadian Forces proceeding to the Mediterranean theatre assembled at a British port and mail was delivered by the Canadian Postal Corps, through the coâ€"operation of the Royal Navy, up to the time the last boat in the conâ€" voy left the port. After the departure of tliis convoy all mails for the troops in lhe Mediterranean theatre had to be "frozen" for security. reasons until the official announcement was made of the invasion of Sicily on the 10th of July. The first despatch for Sicily was made by air on July 10th, and the first desâ€" patch of surface mail, consisting of ipproximately 1,200 bags, was made on tith July. Surface mails must be desâ€" patched in convoys and the elapsed time between the United Kingdom and the Mediterranean theatre is approxiâ€" mately 21 days. The parcel mails postâ€" ed in Canada in June, which had to be Rheld in the United Kingdom for securâ€" ity reasons, were, therefore, not delivâ€" rcd in the Mediterranean area until anproximately August 10th. Operational difficulties have to be contended with. For example, the steaâ€" mer carrying mails for the Canadian F‘orces in the Mediterranean in the next maintenance convoy was damaged by mnemy action and had to put in to the nearest port for repairs, resulting in a delay of at least three weeks in the veryv of 809 bags of mail for Canaâ€" $ 3 + AAali Cittil V C To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins ; Dear Sir: In the last four months the press and public have indicated some yoncern over the mail service to Canaâ€" dlians taking part in the campaigny in Sticily and Italy.
