i ROTARY PREXY
MAKES ADDRESS
Board Intemation Under
standing Bated on Hones
ty Urged By Speaker
DALLAS. Text*. May 28.—'**—
! A broad internatioml understanding
J based on honesty, fair dealing and
^the Golden Rule, was urged here
^kjday by I. B. Sutton of Tampico,
%Ba*jeo. president of Rotary Inter
Delivering his annual address at
the twentieth annual convention of
Ritarv. Mr. Sutton recounted the
growth of the organization which
now has club6 in 52 countries, an
increase of eight during the last 11
months. He told of steps taken to
remove misunderstandings of Ro
tary. particularly among the clergy
of Italy. . „
i Discussing “Priblems of Rotary.
(he asked the convention to de-ter
mine what provision should be
made, if any. to retain in member
ship men who cease to be Rotarlans
through change in classification or j
change of residence; an also should i
there be some modification of the i
rule that all clubs meet 52 weeks In
a year. After presenting other
questions to be considered. Mr. Sut
i ton continued:
“And finally, shall groups of wom
en relatives Of Rotarlans be given
j any encouragement, by Rotary In- j
temational? There are today grouos
I of Ladies of Rotary meeting in
many cities in different parts of
j the world It is a fact to be recog
> nized and dealt with. Should we
encourage them or nit in their de
sire to contribute their expression
1 of friendliness and service?"
The speaker warned against sug
gestions for decentralization of Ro
tary administration, the idea being,
he said, to break down the present
system into a number of divisions.
No reu'gnized better form of admin
istration hid been put forward, he 1
I added, and the organization can
best afford to let well enoogh alone.
| continuing under the form built up
by 19 years experience. There has
been a constant trend towards mak
ing the administration more and
more international and representa
tive of the membership, he said
“Progress brings with it the thrill j
of accomplishment.” President 8ut
t tin continued. “We started the year >
with a family of 44 countries. Dur
ing less than 11 months of this Ro
tary year clubs have been organized
in eight additional countries, viz:
Greece. Jugoslavia. Rumania. Egypt.
.Palestine. Nlcaragui. Honduras and
I the Federated Malay States. Every
{republir on the western hemisphere
is now in the Rotary family.
“The aim If our organization is!
to instill and develop in the busi- i
. ness and professional men of the
w-orld a broad international under- j
standing based on honesty, fair
dealing and the Golden Rule, a
spirit of genuine universal brother
hood far above the barriers which
Ifcise between men and nations with
The diversity of political and fiscal
relatimshlps on the one hand and
, the intranlgeant nationalisms on
the other. Rotary, asking nothing
for itself In return, confidently as
j pires to become an dnselflsh bond
|of union between the vital forces in
(every community of the civilized
world.
“Not that we mean that a Rota
rian shiuld love his country less, j
Quite on the contrary, our organiza
tion is endeavoring to develop the
highest form of iitizenship in every
country and expects loyalty in ev
erything to which a member has
committed himself. Rotary has
awakened an enthusiastic accept
ance and adherence around the
world because through the primo
tlon of acquaintance and under
standing and this leaven of disin- j
terested friendship, it is developing j
a profound sense of International1
concord by increasing the proper
consideration cf and respect for the
nations] in every country."
Our prehistoric ancestors never
dreamed of the social cinditions of
today. Mr. Sutton said, but from the
savage code of brute strength and
cunning “we have advanced to the
outlawry of war*
‘’Some may be inclined to give the
credit to able leadership of our
statesmen.” th sepeaker continued,
“but I am inclined to loik upon this
betterment as a natural consequence
of cur evolution and development.
Surely the Creator of all things has

inspired thought and personality
leading us to where we are today.”
The ideal adjustmnt of national
and intmational relationships can
come only through intelligently di
rectly human thought and effort,
Mr. Sutton said. "Let us discourage
by every means those things which
have a tendency to create unfrienn
liness. fear or hatred, and on the
other hand, let us add all of oor in
floence to promotion of friendship
and Justice.”
Declaring a general administra
tive change for Rotary would be
unwise, the president asked: "Can
it be said that osr present form of
administration has been retarding
our development and extension
throughout the world? With clubs
in 52 nations. 46 of which have en
tered our family during the last 10
years and eight during the last 11
months, certainly that iannot be
said.
Can It be truthfully ^aid that th*'
Rotarians of the North American
continent where the majority of our
membership happens to be situated
at present, are trying to impose
their ideas and customs on the
members of other land:? I have
been privileged to visit 26 of these
Rotary countries and everywhere I
have found them enjoying the most
complete nutonomv in their evnres
sion of Rotary with widely different
ideas and customs and the most di
versified Rotary activities. Surely
you have seen our districts grow un
til they have reached 72 in number,
scattered on every continent, each
one with its international efftcer.”
"Have we reached the end of our
international extension?” Mr. Sut
ton asked. "In answer to that I say
to you that our studv and compre
hensive survey of our extension
during the next five years have
brought to light the possibility of
increasing our clubs to the number
of 5000 within five years, carrying
Rotary into 51 additional countries
or geographical areas. That is, by
July 1. 1934. we hope to have 5000
Rotary clubs in mo-e than 100 coun
tries or geographical areas ”
Speaking of "Misunderstandings
of Rotary." Mr Sutton said:
“I shall always recall with par
ticular interest the opportunity I
had during my visit to Italy to dis
cuss the misunderstandings of our
organization as given expression to
bv Catholic publications there. As a
Catholic myself and out of consid
.
cration and respect for the many i
thousands of fervent Catholics who :
ere members of Rotary throughout
the ycrld. including hundreds of the !
clergy. I felt called upon to clarify
the doubts and misgivings which
seemed to have arisen in the minds
of some members of the clergy of
Europe. I had an opportunity to
deplore and correct the impression
made by cert an unauthorized acts
and statements made thoughtlesslv
and carelessly by a few individual
Rotarians here and there in differ
ent countries. I have read a few
criticisms of my action in this mat-!
ter and of my endeavor to explain
the misunderstandings 'some of
them from Rotarians>. In each case
I have found that my critics were
not fullv informed and that preju
dice spoke instead of reason.
"A great, many people seem to be
absolutely unaware that what may
be perfectly clear in one country
ma” not be understood at all in an
other country’ We cannot ignore
the all-irenortp.nt fact that Rotary
is an internptior.e.l organization. In
my opinion it is only a question of
time when understanding w’ill re
place misunderstanding and when
friendly appreciation will renlace all
misgiving.”

HOOflVEN
TARIFF POWER
New Rate Changes to Affect
Family Budget All
\ Over U. S.
WASHINGTON. May 28—^ —
Substantial increases in import
duties on thousands of commodi
ties of the farm and factory are
provided for in The new tariff bill
which before nightfall is expected
to be passed by the house and sent
to the senate.
The measure, the first tariff
| legislation in seven years, also
j recommends sweeping changes In
administrative provisions of »the
law and a reorganization of the
! tariff commission under a system
designed to speed up its work.
The bill revises, mostly upward,
rates In every dutiable section of
the existing Fordney-McCumber
law. which it is designed to sup
olant.
Everybody Affected
Every man. woman and child in
I the country and nearly every for
eign nation In the world is affected
by the economic changes proposed
by the-measure in the seven year
oid republican protective tariff
structure.
Perhaps the most far-reaching
change is the advance of sixty
' four hundredths of a cent in the
effective duty on sugar. raising the
i present duty* of 1.78 cents a pound
on Cuban raw sugar to 2.40 cents.
Other rates advances, designed to
aid the farmer and manufacturer,
affect such commodities as wool.
' cattle, dairy products, meats, grains,
textiles, glass, paper, furniture and
clothing of all descriptions.
Sugar Duties Important
Important commodities long al
lowed free entry into the United
States are made dutiable, includ
ing hides, leather, booths and shoes.
| cement, common building brick,
j shingles, cedar, maple and birch
lumber. . 1
The measure also sets up an en
tirely new rate schedule to embrace
manufacturers of artificial silk un
, der the official name of "rayon.’*
' These goods are protected In exist
ing law under the silk schedule.
From a public standpoint the In
i creases in the sugar rate and the
boosting of the duty on raw wool
| from 31 to 34 cent* a pound are
‘ regarded as more Important than
| the others. The duties placed on
I shoes and raises In rates on hun
i dreds of other farm and factory
j products also will have a bearing
on familv budgets unless producers
| absorb the higher imposts instead
of passing them on to the con
| sumer.
Hoover Given Power
While the measure is understood
to be objectionable in some respects
to Pres. Hoover, it meets his re
j ques* for a reorganization of the
tariff commission by providing au
thority for him to terminate the
terms of office of the present six
commissioners at his will by the
simple process of sending the
j names of their successors to the
i senate for its advice and consent.
The president, in exercising his
power und**r the flexible clause,
which authorizes him to faise or
lower rates as much as 50 per cent.
* would be allowed, if he deemed It
necessary', to base rates on tf\e
American selling price or to re
classify articles in order to effect
rate changes.

tivities. With Paul Harris he form
ulated a plan for establishment of a

Rotary clubs in existence in 1910
and also arranged details of the
first convention held in Chicago in
that year.
After organization of the National
Association of Rotary Clubs and
election of Paul Harris as president.
Perry thought he was free to re

however, prevailed upon him to take
the secretaryship, an office he has
held ever since
Bom in Chicago. Sept 12. 1872.

STRIBLING MAY
BATTLE HERE
Tom Heeney Would Be Op
ponent In Matamoros
Scrap July 4
Matamoros. Mexico may be th»
scene of a heavyweight boxing
match between Young Stribling
and Tom Heeney next month when
this nation celebrates the declara
tion of American independence If
arrangements can be made with
Matamoros officials it Is very like
ly. that the greatest boxing exhibi
tion ever to be staged in this part
of the country will materialise.
F. H Blake, physical director
Fort Worth Athletic club, which is
negotiating the fight plans, has
written to Brownsville asking for
cooperation in furthering the plans
Blake says that Young Stribling
will fight and it Is highly probable
that his opponent will be Tom
Heeney. the giant who bowed to
Gene Tunney Just before Tunney
retired, if plans are completed.
Blake indicated that he was har
ing some difficulty in making ar
rangements in the Mexican city,
saying that taxes were so numer
ous and high that it would eat too
much of the gate receipts away. If.
however, that difficulty can be
wiped out, there seems to be a
clear road to the Fourth of July
heavyweight bout in Mat moms
An attempt has been made re
cently to stage a bout between
Stribling and an opponent in Tex
as. but the law against prize fight
ing prohibits such.
Should the Matamoros plans ma
terialize, Brownsville will likely
witness one of the greatest Fourth
of July crowds In its history.
Thousands will pour into this city
from all parts of Texas and even
the nation to see the fight.
Stribling attracted international
attention last spring when he was
signed for the fight with Jack
Sharkey in the Florida arena The
entire Stribling family was at the
ring side, only to see the favorite
