"This National work impresses me as being a tremendous project and I believe we are being awakened as to what the National Association means. It has been difficult to get members to take a broad national view of Rotary. There have been many who have been disposed to see the entire national project through the vision of their own Club and measure its scope by the limitations of a local Club.

Mr. Fitzwilson has done some splendid and helpful work in New England, Mr. Eberhard has been very active in his Committee work out here on the Pacific Coast, and Mr. Skeel has likewise distinguished himself, and there are others whose names I might mention, were there time, who have taken a national view of things, upon whom I have felt that I could depend for assistance in working out some of our national problems.
