efforts at reciprocal trade treaties,
and said he hoped no warships would
be sent to Mexico because Mexico had

the speaker said.
DR.. HighSmith suggested Rotary
clubs have discussions on affairs of
other nations and should know what
other nations have contributed to
civilization. He cited the Negro race
as one right here in the midst of the
South and from which the white race
has yet many things to learn.
he.erring to persecution of the Jews
throughout the world, the speaker
asked what had the Jews done to
merit such treatment.
He urged discussions of arbitration
between nations as one theme for
Rotary clubs, and said the people had
to take an attitude against war He
also favored reform in the interna-
tional calendar.
s"What can we do to promote inter-
national understandings" asked the
speaker. He said Rotary clubs should
have the flags of other nations dis
played in their halls, and that they
should be displayed by schools. Visit
tons by Rotarians to other clubs an l
by school children to other school
would help wonderfully in fu;lding a
better understanding, DR.. Highsmitl.
