wily disarmament botli appears to be, and probably is, as far off as over, it is tlie Jmbit a considerable portion of our publicists liavc ul discussing the eavuli as if it was a place to be carved np, much as it was carved up in the days of British fillibustcr- ing. A lew weeks ago Mussolini, discussing Jiis plans in Al»y.‘*sinia, said in eflect that he neodetl no advice from Britain, as he was only doing what she did in days gone 'by. Some English journals in their com ments on thi.s agreed that ^Mussolini was J'iglit, that ()>«i job. because of our past, was to take a back seat ami jierniit JliissoHiil, if he wislie.s, to annex tlie whole ol Aliysriiiia. “ He I.s only doing what' wo did.” It was left to one of the most iiillnoutial of American ncw.'paiier.s to point out the lallacy of ilii.s line of argument. This paper said tlmt while it was true Great Britain in tlie last and preceding cenlnrie' grabbed a giUKlly portion of the globe, there had been no N\’orld War then and no L«‘agne of .Vations had been estab lished to put an end to sncli practices. Hence this American journal pointed out to 2\liissolini tliat he had arrived on the scene too lute; that these things were not done to-dayj that what was done in the last and preceding centuries could not be repeated in the twentieth century unlc.^s nations were to become retrogressive, unless the world was to begin to take a stop backwards. Japan in Ciiina ami Italy in North Africa are pur.>-iiing the old order; the one has left the League of Xations, and the other talks of doing .=0 if any nation interferes with her elinstisement of the Ethiopians.

di.scnsses the European situation in these terms: ‘‘ As yet the possibility of agreement is not in sight. XVliy? Boenuso tlic tSoven Rower.s arc divided Into two categories—tlio satisfied and the unsatisfied. Britain, France, Russia, and the United States belong to what Bismarck wouhl liavo (ailed tho ‘ saturated' class. Japan, Gor- jminy, and Italy belong to the other class. To call these broad divisions t!io Haves and and Have-nots is, too crude, in some ways, but it explains part of tho immense difh- culty. : .Inpan. for instance, is far from being a Have-not. In tho last few years, by little-hindered coiKpicst, she has. made another Empire on tlic Asiatic mainland. But what slic yet jmssesscs slic does not think enough for her economic and political intiiro: ami no other country yet knows what she might consider to bo enough.

Greater Italy lias now a larger populalioiL tiian that of France. Brohahly it will become larger than our own. * Her annual increase is much higher than that of all German,v. Her former outlets for emigration are restricted. She ha.s a developing capacity for industry and teelinical skill of tho highest order. Her present overseas areas on the map are cliieflv sand. She maintains that her claims to higg‘ r am! better colonial outlets are in every way as well justified as any tliat Germany can advance. Wliither ^ those (‘laiins may lend her in the end is not certain. Wlmt is certain is tliat British unfricmriiiiess to lier case would take her out of tlie Limgue.

To create a mightier lleich in tin? old spirit of pan-'J’outonic and anti-Slav expansion has boon an essential part of Herr Hitler's dream and creed from tho beginning. His aspirations arc none tbe less real and extensive beennso they cannot yet lie dcfim.'d. But some main foutures of the poliev arc plain enough. Tho Third Reich is rising surely to a prepondoranco in the combined arms over any sincle iicigiibour, and iiiu.v easily Ijccoino as strong as any two neighbours, oi stronger.

Since his brief article came to hand we have received tho following relating to tlic Rev. W. E. Wnddington, a son of the late Rev, J . B.

Although the Ciitlicroe magistrates yester ” Quis ” this week prints a note in his
liavo to 1)0 answered. They prolmhly will, ami they most certainly will if our eminent writers continue to discuss Europe and tlio workl as if it were ready for the carving knife. Even in the “ ^lanehoster CBiardian,” inuch given to peaceful enterprises, a prctt.v
discus.Kion has oeeupied space for some da.vs in \vliieli tlie protagonists discuss all that potentially lies behind Oornian disarmament —the desire to expand eastwards, westwards, southwards, any way, evei*y way. It is a far ery now to the day.s of solf-deter- inihation for every nation. On the other hand Herr Goring himself lias said that Germany is re-arrning for no otlicr reason tlian tliat her neiglibours are armed to the t(M‘th and that she must protc*ct herself. There aio people who do not helirve tills, just as there are people who do not believe Germany will lioiiour tlio new naval agreement. But as Mr. Baldwin said last Saturday, if we cannot cuter into agreements because we cannot trust the signatni’c of the pai’lics to the agreements, then we return to tlie law of the jungle. If the word partition is to be the text f(»r
Germany tlius hccanie an extended Power over.'^hadowing the whole Continent, what would he the worth of )Vestorn sccurUy alterwards? Herr Hitler keeps up in general terms the claim to the former G(*rmaii colonies or their equivalent. Not for that purpose in the lirst phase would h(‘ risk war with Britain ami France.' But if tlio mightier Reich had achieved the mastery of Central and b^istern Eurojie, the colonial (picstion could bo reopened with confidence on tho widest scale. At tho very best ‘ Western .sceurit.v ’ could only mean temporary .security.” All these points. ^Ir. Garvin says, will

For the coiivonicnce of advertisers in^tho
didicnlt .?cction of our activities as a club. Rotary is an organisation consisting solely of hiisine.?? and professional men who have accepted “ service above self ” ns their motto, and there must be no question of refusing to face up to tbe position. Tn tho time available now it is quite impossible to do more than deal in tho broadest mitlino with tliis vitally important aspect of Rotary. Tho ideal of vocational service runs supreme through the thought of the movement, as you are bound to recognise if you oxnniino anew the six obj(*cts. T will not quote all of tliem l)ut would simply remind you that these objects include tlio acceptance of:
Admittedly vocational service is the most
wortliy enterprise; High ctliical st;\mlards in business ami
The ideal of service as the basis of all
professions; The application of tbe ideal of service
by every Rotarian to liis personal busi ness and coiniminity life;
all useful occupations and the
signif.ving by each Rotarian of bis occupation as an opportunity to servo society.
Tbo recognition of tbo wortbiness of
Ono of cur pampblots gives tbe only safe generalisation, iiamcl.v: That vocational service is that wbicb transforms a way of getting a living into a way of living a life. We talk of getting a living out of giving service. Service is giving. I t is not for mo to point out tbe exact way in which members of this club sliall apply this cardinal principle of vocational service. FNsentially it is a matter for personal con sideration and possibly for self-examination, but I hope that during my year of ofiice wo ma.v find it possible, in the fullest fcllow- sbip, frankly to discuss this question and to bring it to practicalities. As Rotarians wo have got to accept tbo principle of genuine service in our vocations and I sug gest wo .should all bo tbo better for tbo careful .stiid.v and free
discus.si'on of tbe pro gramme suggested by the A
d’ommitoo R.l.B.T. Work in the Community.
’ocational Service
niulerstood and I need spend little time in discussing it.^ Community service is tbo service’of citizenship) wbicb everybody owes to tbe community ol which bo is a nicmbcr. Tbe Rotar.v Club’s opportunities of com- mmiit.v service arc not restricted to, or ex hausted by, tbo occasional distribution of some charitable fund or the avuncular in-
tcrc.st it ma.v take in the poorer bo.vs of its neigbbourbood. Not for ono moment would 1 (lotract from^ the value of those works or from tbo .spirit of service wbicb inspires them, but T do suggest that Rotary has o\;cn more important community service to offer. Tn one sense community service is tbe easiest of all. Tbo public know wbnt wo are doing, and if tbo service is at nil worth while, praise and applause ensues, Comuumity sorvioo, however, can be difii- cult. Tho considered official view of Rotary in community service lavs down verv
Community service is imicli more readily
dcfinitol.v that in all its activities the Rotar.v Club acts best and is most successful as a propagandist. J^et me explain. The Jlotary Club discovers a need. When the rc-^poiisibility is that of tbo entire com munity, tbe Rotary Club does not seek alone to remedy it. but awakens others to the necessity of the romed.v, seeking to arouse the community to its responsibilitie?, so that Hiis responsibility may -be placed not on Rotary alone but on the entire community, where it belongs. In recent years tbe official iiolicy 1 have mentioned lias ad vanced more uncompromisinglv against cor porate action by Rotary clubs. In com munity service as in other directions, the dub acts through tbe individual ana per haps tbo chief expression of tbo Rotary ideal ill community service will be found in Hio indibidual action of its niombcrs, im bued with the spirit of service, socking in many directions to secure* tbo increasing well-being of their follows. Ncvortbeles?, there arc jobs to which the Rotarv club, working as a team, mav well set its band, and it will bo agreed that such endeavours and enterprise.? have a real value in pro moting that
fellow.ship we so mucli desire to cultivate.

Hint be was tbe wrong man who had been summoned was the plea of John Kartell Jackson, chimney sweep, of 6, Bawdlaiids, wlio was summoned at tbe Borough Polico Court yesterday for riding a
bic.vcle iu tho Castle grounds. His plea proved success ful. tho magistrates ruling that a strong
who prosecuted, said tlie practice of riding bicycles in parks and recreation grounds was becoming very prevalent. Particularly. (lid this apply to Brungerley Park whoro people wore in tbe habit of proceeding to the bathing place on
bic.vcles. Two cases were recently reported to the Parks and Playgrounds Committee of clderlv people narrowly escaping being knocked clown by persons wlio were riding
bic.vclo.?, and tho Committee took a vcr.v serious view of tlio matter. Altbougli in ‘tliat case they did not pre.?s for a heavy fine, tbe Committee wished it clearly to bo undcr.?tood that if any future

to servo each other. There can bo no real bond between people who do not iimlerstaiul each other's difficulties and problems aiul our earnest aim as Rotarians must bo to improve our knowledge of world affairs, seeking always to understand the point oi view of otlicr nations. We find ourselves to-day in a world of suspicion and conflict ing interest?. When treaties are made between Hio Bowers, .vou find people que>*- tioaing wiietber the signatories intend to observe the pacts tiiey liavo made. SVitb suspicion ride? fear and with the people.? of the world desiring peace we find nation? preparing for war. Rotarv lias surely a part to pln.v here. Only by closer friend ship, deeper fellowship, can these suspicions and fears be allayed and Roturv has tbe machinery and tbe method for helping to straighten out tbo tangle.
not the least valuable way Rotarians have of promoting es.?ontial international fellow ships is l)y individual travel and attendance at overseas clubs. Rotnrv sots great store on tbe contacts iiulividunls make with the- people of other lands.
In my view,
for making those contacts and we should embrace cverv opportunity which will enable us more thoroughly to ’ understand inter national affairs so that we may contribute intelligently to the work for peace. Fellow Rotarians, ‘ we are members not simply of tbo Rotary Club of Clitberoo, but of a great and growing international organisation. As we arc members, let us bo worthy mombor.?, endeavouring faithfully to carry tbrougli tbe programme placed before us' searching for ways of helping to fulfil tbo sixth object of Rotar.v.
It offers facilities
Rotarians’ privileges in* chib, vocational, commiinit.v and international service. Next week tlio club committees will bo appointed to deal with those several branches of ser vice. ^ly liopo and my belief is that no matter upon wliicb committeo members find themselves, Hie.v will try conscientiously to
di.scbnrgc their duties. From time to time, each committee will report tbrougli the Council to tbe Club, offering new oppor tunities of service in tbo common weal. I have sufiicient confidence in the niombors of this club to know that they will give fair consideration to any suggestion bi'ougbt before them. I cannot insist too strongl.v that ovcr.v action of tbo club depends upon tbe individual, and as Rotarians wo shall all, T know, be .striving always to promote tbo welfare of the Club and tbo advancement of tbo six objects of Rotnr.v.”

after the alleged incident tlie summons would be dismissed. The Town Clerk said ho desired to point'
