 Lewis Taylor, testifying for the prosecution, told of his graduation from college, his inability to find work, and the resultant psychologi- cal effect upon himself and his comrades in distress.
 Tom Stewart delivered an oration on war which was one of the high lights of the evening and brought much applause from the audience In this connection, Folta. prosecut- ing attorney, had this to say:

 We might be able to bear up under the combined weight of de- pression, social insecurity, and lack of moral support. But you havc thrown upon us also the shadow Of impending war.

The general testimony of all per- sons called was summed up in the Rev. MT. Glasses statement that There were just as many evil ag- encies at work against youth in cur own generation, but society did far less to combat them
 In summing up the entire argu- ment, MT. Faulkner hit vigorously at the statements concerning war, declaring that Youth seems to be suffering from the erroneous idea that wars are planned by groups of persons in various countries to fur ther their own economic or politi- cal ends Nothing could be further from the case. Wars are not planned they are not always evil, and therS are times when they are economi- cally and morally necessary"
 Possibility that similar debat. will be offered in the near future was stressed by the Rev. MT. Glassc in his closing remarks.
