Because one of the four primary objects of Rotary is "the adl- vancement of international understanding, good w ifl, and peace through a ,world fel- lowship of business and professional men united in the. ideal of ýservi<e," it might seemý that Rotarians would.be.discouraged. by the outbreak of the present war. They might feel that ail their time and effort and interest in the encoura gement of world peace had been.,wasted. As a matter of fact, Rotarians feel, on the contrary, that in the 27 yearÈs that Rotary has been an in- ternational organization, its spread to more than 60 countries of the world has exceeded even the most optimistic hopes of its found- ers. Rotarlans are hnof discouraged. While they are greatly disappointed, as are mil- lions of others throughout the world, at the outbreak of hostilities, they are encouraged by the realization that when peace cornes* again, as it inevitably must, there will be Rotarians in practically every country of the world who will forin the nucleus a round wbich a .still stronger movement for inter- men iRotarians believe that wars will be abolished when the causes behind wars have been understood and have been cor- rected in the light of international under- standing and good will. With 200,000 Ro-> tarians in more than 60 countries subscrib- ing to this same belief, it is réasonable to, anticipate that Rotary's ideals will some day~ effect a tangible change in the rela- tions of man to man."
