ARKANSAS WINS
IN NORMAL DEBATE
FAULKNER COUNTY men
GET DECISION OVER REPRE-
SENTATIVES OF OKLA
HOMA SCHOOL.

By the unanimous decision of the
judges, two Faulkner county students
of the Arkansas State Normal, G.. O.
Dalton OF Enola and Allen Webb of
Enders, won debate on the ship sub
sldy question over K. +. Ethridge and
V. l.. French, representatives of the
Oklahoma State Normal at Ada, at
the Normal auditorium last night.
The speeches of the representatives
of the home school showed every evi-
dence of the deep study they have
made of the question, and little anx-
lety was felt by the Arkansas rooters
after the speeches were made as TO
the outcome. The judges, DR.. A. c.
Millar, president of Hendrix College,
Judge W. L.Moose of Morriton, and
Rev. Carol S. Mason, pastor of the
Conway Presbyterian church, evident
ly had little difficulty in arriving at a
decision, as they were out only about
two minutes, before DIR. Millar re-
turned and announced their decision.
Prof. o. d. Longstreth presided
over the debate. After a song by the
Normal glee club, he stated the ques-
tion, Resolved, that the United
States should grant financial aid to
ships engaged in foreign commerce
and owned by citizens of the United
States and introduced Mr.. Dalton
as the first speaker for the afiirma-
tive. After defining the question, Mr.
Dalton called attention to the deplor-
able condition of American shipping,
stating that we carry only eight per
cent Of the worlds commerce today as
compared with over 90 per cent in
1861; that our tonnage is less than it
was 100 years ago, and that we pay
over S500,00 per day to foreign ships
He pointed out our vulnerable cohdi-.
tion in time of war for the lack of
merchant vessels in which to ans

iines which have made the greatest
success are those which are unsub-

Shipping before 1861, he urged. was
due to European nations being in con
slant warfare and not to subsidies
Mr.. Ethridge said the subsidy policv
was impracticable because the cost Of
oulidlng and operating ships with
American labor was too great to be
overcome by any reasonable bounty.
The second speaker for the affirm
ative was Allen Webb, who declared

spoke ten minutes in rejoinder, Mr..
