Wbile ht is customany ta have an outside speaker at most waak- ly meetings off tbe Rotary Club it invariably wonks oui ibat when i local meniber addrassas the club, something raally woribwhila le the nesuli.

At the end off 1935, ha bold the club, we saw the affairs off the wold, and particularly off contin- ental Europe in a complicated sit- uation. A crLsis axisted between nations and groups off nations, and one could hardly f onetaîl froin Ihese complications how it would all end.# Japan was carrying on a colon- ization off certain Chinese provin- ces; Italy was at 'war witb Eth- iopia, and the League off Nations. 53 strong, was ai loggenheads with Italy ovar its policy. 1 Early in 1935 the scene pre- sented saw Italy, France and Eng- land lined Up solidly againsi Ger- many.

As the nionths rolled by she ffound herseîf losing han pres- tige becausa off han weakenad con- dition, so she once again started to build up ban defenses. France and Italy immediately became suspicious and followed suit.- Having regained is prestige Great Britain took the laad in diplomastie affairs in Europe. Than Mussolini stars bis disagneement with Ethiapia, whicb keeps Eng- land and the othen powars tied up for the resi off the yaar in an andeavour ta affect a solution and ai the sainie tume avoid war.

Germany bas quletly sat back and watched the othen nations, even awating its apportunity ta regain uts losi prestige and col- onies. With the New Year a nana too happy pîcture presents isel!.
