MOORE REPORTS ON
ROTARY CONVENTION

More than $4,000 people attended
the recent international convention
of Rotary clubs in San Francisco,
President j. P. Moore told Laurel
Rotarians at their meeting Tuesday.
He, accompanied by Mrs. Moore, at

club. Twenty-four nations were rep
resented.
Although general sessions were
conducted in the huge Civic auditor
ium at San Francisco, the crowd was
so large that it was impossible for
all the people to appear in n pic
ture. Moore exhibited a photograph
showing about one-half.
The programs were always in
English, but delegates from foreign
countries who did not understand
English heard translated gists of the
speeches as they were being made.
The foreign delegates, equipped with
ear phones, were seated in a section
of the auditorium and listened to
translators speaking into transmit
tiers connected with the head sets.
Wives, relatives and friends of many
of the delegates were also at the
sessions.
The gathering was so large that
those attending were divided into al
phabetical sections and these were
subdivided into zones for special
group meetings at the several hotels
in the city. Delegates were fire.

Bellflower Rotary club, which has

father rave over the baby daugh-
ter and son; meanwhile poor Denise
forgets things, breaks things, falls
over things, blots things, burns
things and of course feeds hate and
resentment all the time.
Let Her Visit Father.
Possibly a visit to her fathers
home might help her see this situa-
ton in a saner light, but that is
unlikely. She and her stepmother
would not be friends, and domestic
slavery for the two haf-brothers
there would repeat the miserable sit
uation of your own nursery. If she
became desperately unhappy under
her fathers roof, and felt that she
could not return to yours, it is not
improbable that she would take her
own life, causing you lifelong re-
morse, no matter how justified you
feel now in the course you have
followed.
So l suggest that you look over
the list of her school associates and
find one whose mother could take
her in as a boarder for while
This means that you would pick 9
humble home, with housework to do
But Denise would be on her own,
and if l know anything of these shy
awkward, ill-adjusted youngsters she
would blossom forth in colors that
would amaze you. With a constant
companion of her own age, with no
painful contrasts between her and
an older girl, with no burning jeal-
ousies to poison everything she says
and does, Denise will develop far
more normally and happily than she
can in your care.
The charge for this sort of young
boarder is light; perhaps as low
as 81 or So week. 1t will be worth
it to you to make this experiment;
she and her housemate will do their
homework together, chatter of
school affairs, bake cookies, 60 to
Saturday movies and live their own
satisfied lives. l have known sew
eral cases where this plan worked
a real miracle, and l heartily rec
ommend it to you.

and the founding of the United
Nations.
All this was background for an
other event which took place as the
ides of March, 1947, approached.
refer to the enunciation of a new
American foreign policy which
may prove to have far greater his
torical significance than any of the
other happenings I mentioned.
AS one observer put it: IF the
Presidents message (urging aid for
Greece and Turkey is supplemented
to the full of its implications, it may
be another Monroe Doctrine fore
shadowing pax Americana with
hundred years peace-Such as the
pax Britannica provided-or, it may
be declaration of World War ILL.,"
Either eventuality would make it
the most important event in modern
history. If it should establish hun
dred years of peace, it could easily
| foreShadow permanent peace. If, on
the other hand, it signalled another
World War, it would mean the twi-
light, if not the sunset, of civil
cation.
President Truman and his ad-
visors felt the policy must be enun-
ciated. And far-seeing people real
lied that America must shoulder
the major responsibilities that Brit
ain had carried so long as the most
powerful of the English-speaking
family of nations, and which she no
longer is able to carry.
True, we have started to create
an organization-the United Nations
which is supposed to make it i'm
possible for any single nation or
group Of nations to disturb the
peace. But to carry out its job, the
United Nations must have an inter-
national police force. Until the
United Nations has the force to
! back up the will of the majority,
that single nation which can muster
such power will decide the course
| of the world.
We have that power. Potentially,
so has Russia.
The proposed American foreign
policy has behind it only one idea.
| That IS to keep the power for peace
in the hands of what we call de-
mocracy.
There has been doubt expressed
by some as to whether the program
outlined by the administration
would serve this objective. The ma
| jority of leaders in both parties
however seem to be convinced that
there is no better method presently
at hand: that if we are to maintain
our democratic way of life until the
United Nations has become an effec-
tive organization, we have no other
course to pursue. If we take no &C
ton, we simply turn the world over
to Russia. That would mean war
eventually. Implementing the Tru-
man policy may avoid it..
I heartily believe in the United
Nations, and feel positive that if a
major conflict can be put off long
enough, the United Nations even
tually can be made strong enough
to outlaw aggressive warfare effec-
lively.
Pledging our wealth and sinew
to protect Communist threatened
countries seems our only hope.
