Constitution Defended
By MOrehOuse in Debate
With Oxford University

ATLANTA, Ca. Especially -
Englands and Americas form Of
constitutional government were
warmly defended and in turn were
strongly condemned in the course
of a debate here recently which
the Oxford Union Society team Of
Oxford University, England, and
Morehouse College argued the
question: Resolved, That a written
Constitution is a Hindrance Rath-
er Than a Safeguard to Social
Progress" Six hundred persons,
probably the largest local audience
to ever hear a college debate, list
ened to the arguments. This de-
bate was the fourth international
debate in which Morehouse Col
lege has engaged in the past five
years..
The usual solemnity that marks
formal debating was completely
dispelled by the Englishmen who,
with blunt broadsides of humor,
and subtle shafts of wit, attacked
the logical arguments advanced by
the Morehouse spokesman. AS first
speaker for the affirmative, Rich
ard u. P. Kay-Shuttleworth, point
ed to many instances in the United
States where social reform, not
ably the governmental regulation
of railroads, had been long delayed
by the action of the Supreme Court
in judging legislation unconstitu-
tional. His colleague, A. w. ].
Greenwood, after poking fun alike
at British and American govern
mental methods, declared that A
merica after separating from Eng
land, had set up a government
wherein by virtue of the power of
the Supreme Court the people con-
tinued to be taxed without repre-
sentation and to suffer under a
government that was as pernicious
as had been the absentee rule of
king and parliament.

Harlem for a capable actress

lenthy search located Olive
Burgoyne, one of Harlem's
fairest, who had been aspiring
for many years to an oppor-
tunity on Broadway. Mis-
fortune, however, had logged
the lady, and she had accepted
q job with the P.W.A. dramatic
groups.
Miss Burgoyne read the new
part, and Mr.. Jones offered her
Che long-awaited opportunity.
Then came the amazing news.
Miss Burgoyne couldn't accept,
because the Relief Workers
Theatre was putting on a show,
and wouldn't release herl It
seems now that Miss Oppor-
tunity knocked at her door.
POLITICS
Politically, Harlem has had
many lean years. This Coz IL
ton has to a great extent been
the fault of the voters of the
community.

"World consumption of Ameri-

The most important expansion
in production is taking place in
