“Had the ideal of Rotary been more firmly rooted in the peoples of the world there might not have been war today,” said Colonel J. Hargcst in a talk to members of the Invercargill Rotary Club at. the weekly luncheon. “Wo should use all the influence in our power to emphasise that the fight we are engaged in has been thrust upon us and that our cause is a just one.” Colonel Hargcst said he did not think that anyone doubted that the Allies would win the war and come out victorious; he did not. think anyone believed that the task in front of them was going to be an easy one. The enemy would not submit without the bitterest struggle and they would need all the determination possible for the next few years. Any outcome other than victory was too dreadful to contemplate, and they would need all their fortitude to ensure victory.
