CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS
The Chairman said— Members will regret that the President. Rotarian Thomas Tam, is unable to attend on account of a domestic bereavement.
Arising out of the recent visit DI the Australian Goodwill Mission. we have received friendly letters of good wishes from Sydney, Bris- bane and Hobart.
We recently sent the flag of the Hong Kong Rotary Club to Pelping and they have reciprocated with a
handsome banner.
First let me present as guests of the Club Mr. E C. Carter (our speaker) and Mr. S. V. Boxer, Se- cretary of the League of Nations Society in Hong Kong (Applause).
THE ADDRESS
Mr. Carter said that when to- tarian Sir William Shenton was at Bant, Hong Kong has its first formal representative at a gather- tng of the Institute of Pacific Relations.
Mr. Carter" remarked" that the Institute was over ten years old. It stood as meeting place and France, Soviet Russia, Philippine had grown so that Great Britain
Islands, the Netherlands and the Netherlands Indles. were members. It was rather difficdit at times to discover whether the Institute was enly dealing with dreary, dry re- search or whether it was similar which people of different countries to the Rotarian organisation in and different professions Joined together. The Institute was repre- sentative of no political party.
He spoke of the Chinese Institute of Pacific Relations which had as Its chairman, Dr. Hu Hsieh, who, at Yosemite recently, gave a most penetrating
analysis regarding unification in Japanese group had a distinguish- China. Also the
ed leadership and between China and Japan one saw, the very es- sence of the work of the Institute. which was not to find dificult questions bub to head straight for the most dangerous questions and
to tackle them in a strict and scientiac enquiry and
mutual gentlemanly respect.
JAPAN AND CHINA The problems of the Institute gald Mr. Carter, were those unsol that gave the greatest concern..
ved problems within each country. Within Japan the trouble was be tween landlord and peasant and so long as the present land system existed in Japan her leaders were going to believe that their only hope was foreign' aggression.
