DEBATE OF HIGH. SCHOOL
LITERARY SOCIETY
AFFIRM. WIN

Friday evening, in the school audito-
rum, four debaters of the High school
literary society ar -ued On the query
Should the United States relinquisn
| the Philippines in four years?" Miss
Pauline Orr and Mr.. Cecil Stepp were
argued by Messrs. Everett Kinds and
Homer McKinna. Misses Vada Orr
Lenoir Johnson, the judges for the oc-
| casion, rendered the decision in favor
Iof the affirmative. Miss Alice Pace,
president of the High school literary
society, presided.
| The exercises of the evening opened
with a piano solo by Miss Mary Elli-
son who played with characteristic
dignity, graciousness and indifference
ito the noise made by the audience.
| RIr. Cecil Stepp, first speaker on the
affirmative, stated that our title to the
Philippines is contrary to information
TaI law. since Spain had virtually lost
control of them when We bought
them. He quoted Jefferson to the eff
iset of laws for people at home and
another set for people in distant lands,
and declared that if we do not share
iour constitution. it will fall.
Mr.. Everett Kinds, first speaker on
the negative. emphasized the import
lance of the Philippines as a coaling
station, a convenient place for dock
ward. and a basis for air craft opera
tions. He denied that these islands
have the right to withdraw from under
the Constitution, any more than the
ISouthern States did in 1861, 1t was
asserted that they are desired by ia
pan and would be subjugated by that
lpower in theeven of their being
GRANTED independence. Dewey was
Iquoted as saying that the Philippines
are the key to the mastery of the
Pacific.
Mss Pauline Orr second speaker on
the. affirmative, advanced her conyic-
4 ton 5hat the Philippines are too far
from their base Of supplies for us te
be able to hold them, and stated that
Roosevelt declared them a source of
military weakness to our country, and
that Taft denominated them the
II"Achillean heel of America" She
argued that their permanent indepen-
,,dence could be guaranteed by an in
i ternational treaty. She avowed that
the Philippints are desired only by the
Sugar Trust and self-seeking politf-
clans, and essayed to prove that our
logical course is to grant absolute
freedom and that any other mode of
action would nullify the principles on
which ou rown government was
founded.
Mr.. Homer McKinna, second speak
Ier on the negative denied that the
time was yet ripe for PPhPiPPlPijaa
time was yet ripe for Philippine self
government He asserted that the is
flanders are not unified, and that inter-
Inecine wars would be the result of
any native rule that could be estab-
iilshed. He brought out the fact that
most of the government offices are
held by natives and stated that even
the natives realize that progress un-
der our rule is greater than it would
or could be under theirs.
While the debaters were preparing
their rebuttals, the audience was IA
vOred with readings by Misses Carrie
LYDIA and Florence Justice, and a duet
by Misses Vada Orr and Mary Brooks.

sion in an effort to force satisfactory
settlement in the conference which
has now been on three months.
This talk will doubtless be framed
On President Wilson's own views, as
Secretary Lane, commission chairman,

The patience of the American group
has been sorely taxed by delays, the re-
Bponsibility for which is placed upon
the Mexican chairman, Luis Cabrera.
The latter's opposition to a tentative
peace plan is seriously delaying set
tlement satisfactory to all his col

For this reason the Americans will
use plain language. This method in
the past has proven efficacious and
probably will be successful this time,
1t Is believed here.
The administration is far from con-
vinced that permanent deadlock ex-
lists and in fact is laying plans for

The situation is such, though, that
the administration is anxious to come
to terms soon. The possibility Of fail
ure Of the conference has never been
overlooked and military plans have
been made accordingly, but on the
whole, administration men believed
the conference can be forced into a
satisfactory conclusion. u..
