ROTARY AND GOODWILL.
"RUBBING OFF CORNERS."
AUSTRALIA AND -NEW ZEALAND
Sir George Fowlds, who is visiting Australia, delivered an address to members of tho Sydney Rotary Club last week on Hio subject, "Is Rotary Worth While?" Rotary, be said, bad a genius for rubbing off corners and bringing into fellowship persons of diverse character. If they in .Australia anti New Zealand could not establish feelings of friendship and goodwill, what hope had they in the .wider range of international relations, ■where they carno into contact with men of diverse types, ideals and languages ? Under present conditions, added Sir George, when New Zealand sent Australia a few boxes of butter, the latter put up ft higher tariff; if it sent a few bags of potatoes, diseases were discovered of which New Zealand knew nothing. In New Zealand they were just as bad. Ho boped that as time went on both countries would get wiser.
