SEEKING FOR PEACE

Rotary Club Resolution

Support for tho resolution passed by tho Hastings Returned Soldiers’ Association last evening, when it was iosolved to call upon ex-servicemen to unite in opposing war, was expressed by the Hastings Rotary Club in the following resolution passed unanimously at the weekly luncheon of the club to-dav:— ‘‘The preservation of peace and goodwill bebtween nations of the world being one of the objectives of Rotary, we members of the Hastings Rotary Club desire to record our approval of the resolution carried by the Hastings Returned Soldiers’ Association suggesting that the ex-servicemen of all countries should be given representation in the League of Nations so that their voice and influence may be effectively directed toward the maintenance of friendship between all peoples.’’ Tho resolution was moved by the president. Mr. W. A. Whitlock, and is to be communicated to the Hastings U.S.A, and to the Listrict Governor of Rotary in New Zealand, who will bo asked to forward it to Rotary International. The ex-servicemen could be more instrumental than anyone else in dissuading the nations from making war, said Mr. Whitlock, and could speak more authoritatively than anyone else on the horrors of warfare. In seconding the resolution. Mr. A. F. Redgrace said that the association’s effort might possibly have some good effect. Certainly it could do no harm.
