The Fourth Pacific Rotary Conference convened in Honolulu, Hawaii, from June 12 to 14, 1932, under the leadership of Stanley McKenzie, past president of the Honolulu Rotary Club. Delegates from Pacific Rim clubs—including those from Sydney, Shanghai, Tokyo, Yokohama, Mexico City, Canada, and the U.S. mainland—gathered to exchange ideas, promote Rotary objectives, and foster goodwill. The conference featured addresses on topics such as “Barriers to the Development of Rotary’s Sixth Object”—which addresses intolerance and prejudice—and the impact of economic events like the worldwide depression. Discussions highlighted the importance of international understanding, commerce, and communication. Cultural events included Hawaiian music performances and a traditional welcome and farewell featuring leis, symbolizing the spirit of “Aloha Nui Loa.” The conference emphasized personal friendships and practical cooperation across diverse Pacific nations. The next conference was proposed for 1934 in Shanghai.
