It is not expected that Rotary clubs as such will undertake collection of funds, but it can be said that the executive board of Rotary has called upon all American Rotary clubs to give hearty support and en- couragement to this movement. We are also notifying our district gov- ernors to communicate also with the clubs in their respective districts"
