While - In Kdinhoro, Scotland,
Mr. Kennedy talked with several
Scotland business men who had at
tended the international convention
of Kotary clubs which was held there
in June.
"The seed planted there by the
American Kotarians in convention
will bear fruit," said Mr. Kennedy.
"The European business men caught
the spirit of fraternity and the Ro
tarian idea of service above self. In.
tcrnational conventions in which
business men of the world may ex
change ideas for the betterment of
civilization will do more to promote
a higher .civilization than anything
tried before.
"Europe's opportunity to get back
to normal and to a business and in
dustrial stability lies in the tfforts
it makes to get back to honest la
bor. Europe is growing tired of
being entertained. Europeans are
beginning to see the necessity of pro
ducing and getting back to work.
"The great war has taught Europe,
in fact the whole world, a horrible
lesson. Europe will arise from the
ashes of that war with its lesson
well learned. A higher civilization is
bound to follow.' '

club was in attendance at the meet

slogan adopted by the September
group of Rotarians who will stage all
