effected without considera-
tion of our inescapable rela-
t1onship to word affairs in fl
nance and trade. Indeed, we
should be unworthy of our
best traditions if we were un-
mindful of social, moral, and
political conditions which are
not of direct concern to us,
but which do appeal to the
human sympathies and the
very becoming interest of a
people blest with our national
good for tune.
Must Help World.
1t is not my purpose to
bring a program of world res
toration. In the main such a
program must be worked out
by the nations most directly
concerned. They must them
selves turn to the series rem
edies for the menacing condi-
tions under which they are
struggling, then we can help,
and we mean to help. We
shall do so unselfishly be-
cause there is compensation
in the consciousness of assist
ing selfishly because the COM
merce and international ex-
changes in trade, which
marked our high tide Of for
tunate advancement, are pos
sible only when the nations
of all continents are restored
to stable order and normal re-
lationship.

~FREE-FOR-ALL
DEBATE GOES,
TO NEGATIVE

first honors IN the free-for-all de-
bate Thursday night at the state uni
versity went to the members of the
negative team, the question debated
being, Resolved. that the United
states should cancel lter war debts
due from foreign nations.
The debate caused much interest,
not only because of the question it.
Aeif but also because of the work Of
n speakers. The contest was
opened by Richard Watson, of the ar
nrmative, who presented the issue on
which the affirmative would hase its
contentious and commended that can
collation. of the debts was demanded
IN that the United States owed to the
countries more than any
mou of money could pay. Thomas
J.. Smith in speaking second for the
affirmative argued to show the inabil-
ity of the foreign nations to pay and
that a cancellation OF debts would
master return to normal in i%nterna-
tionaf trade conditions. The benefit
to n United States in relief Of the
present economic conditions through
such action was the nucleus Of the
argument given by Sam Aandahl,
concluding speaker.
Clifford Holland opened the case for
the negative, giving evidence to show
cancellation of debts to be,asainst the
best interests OF foreign nations.
Keith Sanberg gave proof to show
the impracticality of the proposition
to the United States, which would
put extra taxes on tho American
people and strengthen our rivals in
world trade. McLain johnson, in
closing for the negative, brought
forth a plan to take the place of can
collation. of debts. a plan urging the
appointment Of a committee OF in
v~esttgatlon n in case Of necessity
cancelling, the interest on the debts,
not the debts themselves. and giving
the foreign nations a chance to up
hold their self-respect.
sRebuttal speeches caused more IN
tefest than the main speeches. quick
thinking and more heated argument
marking this part of the debate.
