YOUNG AUSTRALIA LEAGUE The work of the Young Austra- lia League is thus referred to in an address by Rotarian Seely be- fore the Rotary Convention Mexico City:
"The problems of youth deserve our very best support and inter- est.
hundred In 1929 one
and fifty Australian boys made a good- will tour of the United States and Canada. Int cities visited Rotarians actively Interested themselves in entertaining these boys and providing them the op- portunity of contact with Ameri- ican institutions and customs. In 1932. a small group of boys from "the United States visited Austra
la and were were enthusiastically received by Rotarians throughout the country during their three months stay there.
Such trips bring the youth of our nationa closer together, strengthen the coun-
ties of friendship between tries, and are of direct benefit to the International relations of the future. More international visits might be carried out between the countries, with direct & benefit to all people for to-day as well as to-morrow. Who is better able to further such work than Rotar- lans, and who should be more in- terested in its effectiveness than Rotarians? Do we want better
world understanding, and better
world fellowship?"
