students met here last night to dis
cuss the question: Shall Japan
fight America" The debate lasted
four hours and was marked by We

mained in good hu1nor during the
evening. Managers Of the meeting,
out Of defereHce to police, decided
not to take Z vote on the merits o!
the question as disclosed by speak

was equally divided as to exped-

tries.
Speakers agreed that action OF
California in legislating against
Japanese owning property in that
state furnished sufficient cause
for hostilities but they differed
concerning the expediency of going
to war. Many pointed out the fact
Of Americas wealth preparedness
contrasted against Japan's weak
