debate Thursday evening at assembly
hall. Cony high school of this city
was given the decision over Portland
high school, by two to one vote of
the judges. The debate was won by
Cony through her superior rebuttal
Each member of both teams put up
good arguments and Merritt Hewitt
Of Cony and Samuel Sacknoff of
Portland, delivering their arguments
in an especially brilliant manner.
The speakers We're allowed ten
minutes for debate and five minutes
for rebuttal. The decision of the
judges was made by individual ballot
each forming his own opinion with
out comforting with the others. The
judges We're; Senator Roscoe G.
Emery of Eastport, Senator Stetson
II. Hussey of Blaine and William T..
Black Of Augusta.
The Cony team will meet the Deer
ing high team soon for the champion
ship of this section of the Bowdoin
League. the winner of that match to
debate with the winner of the other
section of the league.
The question was Resolved. the
United States should cancel the loans
made by her to the Allies, during the
World War" Cony supported the
negative side.
Elmer Mangum. the first speaker
for the affirmative advanced the
argument that it would be necessary
for the Allies to pay their debts 10

ing the substitute usually offered by
those who opposed the cancellation
OF the debt. lie said that by taking
Europe's productive capital in this
way we would destroy our foreign
markets and surfeit our own with
domestic goods.
Sanford l.. FoSg. Jr. first speaker
for the negative took the economic
side of the argument. He argued
that it would raise our taxes to can
eel this debt. that it would subtract
much from our charities, and if We
cancelled the debt, the European ma
tions would use the money to in
crease their armaments. He ad
Vanced as a method to be employed
by the Allies in raising this money
that they should pay it out of the
German reparations.
Samuel Sacknoff. the closing speak
er for the affirmative, said that W.
were morally obliged to cancel thi:
debt. that the European nations hat
fore we got into it, and that these
loans have been coming back thrOugf
