STUDENTS TO HEAR
BURTON ONDEBTS
0hioan to Address Classes at
Georgetown Friday on
War Obligations.


= Georgetow;. University Friday nigh
On foreign debt problems.
AS an opponent of debt cancellation
Mr.. Burton will approach the subJec
rom this angle. His lecture is one o
series that has been given FRIDAY
evenings at the school of the foreign
debts, two previous lectures having
been given. by DR.. John II. Latane
rofessor of history and former dear
cf Johns Hopkins University, who dealt
with the war debt problem from tbs
viewpoint" of those who believe in al
least a partial cancellation of debts
The officials of the Georgetowr
school felt that there are so many I'M
portant current problems in foreign
relations now before the American
ublic that it was necessary and eX
pndient that all members of the stu
dant body who are preparing for for
eign service careers be kept informed
on these subjects by competent au
thorities 1t has been the policy of the
school in recent years to hold these
lectures in the auditorium of the Ma
tional Museum, but this did not prove
large enough to accommodate the large
crowds that attended them each Fri
day evening. AS result, many of the
students We're unable to get into the
auditorium to attend the lectures,
which were part of their regular
school course. For this reason it was
decided to hold the lectures this year
at the school and restrict attendance
to the student body.
Discussion to Follow.
The purpose Of the course is first TO
give a background of the various sub
jects and then follow up with a dis.
nf fhn tr1,n1adia fo rlrOhipVNc a.
issue. On most of the subjects ar
rangements have been made so that
experts on both sides of the questions
will address the school, thereby giving
the students an opportunity to form
an impartial opinion.
Among other subjects that will be
given in this course on foreign rela-
tions are lectures on Pan-American
relations, with particular reference to
American policy in the Caribbean,
touching on the situation In Nicara-
qua, Panama. Haiti and San Domingo.
and world politics in the Pacific with
reference to the present situation in
China, Japan and Russia.
A part Of these lectures will be
given by DIR. Latane, who is consider
ed one of the highest authorities on in
ternational relations and history, and
by DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J. vice
president of Georgetown University
and regent of the Foreign Service
School. DR.. Walsh has had an unusual
acquaintance with the Russian situa-
ton, due to his long work in that
country. He was recently appointed
president of the Catholic Near East
Relief Association and is closely in
touch also with Near East affairs.
Other Lectures Later.
The school was fortunate in obtain
ing Mr.. Burton as a lecturer on the
subject of the international debt situa-
tion because of his long experience in
dealing directly with this question not
only as a member of the debt commits
sion, but also during the debates on
the various debt settlements In the
House. He has been lecturing in this
country since Congress closed on the
question of debt funding and probably
no one is better qualified to speak on
the war debts than Mr. Burton. Other
lectures in the course will be announc-
ed later.
