Success Of World Reconstruction In Every Home
“To make a success of world reconstruction we must see clearly our mistakes of the past and try to -avoid them in the future,” said Mr W. C. Mackay, Governor of the Auckland Rotary District, to the Whakatane Rotary Club on Tuesday Slight. “In this reconstruction we all have a very important part to play.” Mr Mackay said that after’ 1918 the whole of the Western World -working together proved undecided. As a result war in 1939 was inevit--able. Hitler was not the cause of the war. The period during the two wars • could be instanced as a vacuum, he continued. “We did not fill it with .any good so evil stepped in—Nazism. We now have another vacuum and we must, this time, fill it with something worth while or else evil will again take charge.” 7 Every man had an important part to play in world reconstruction. In every home it could be done by raising the common standards of life, by seeing to the children and •every man conducting his business in an honourable way. “The work that is done today will produce the world of toihorrow.” Mr Mackay said.
