6. W. u. Debaters Meet
Anq|o-|rish Team

The British Empire since 1881 has
pursued a course that led the world
down the road to "the disgrace Of
Munich" and that eventually will
lead the world to war, George
Washington University debaters de-
clared last night in debate with
visiting Anglo-Irish team.
The British speakers replied that
the present condition OF Europe is
due to the Versailles treaty and the
attitude of the American people
after the war in refusing to join the
League of Nations.
Opening the debate for George
Washington, Leonard Wilson traced
British foreign policy since 1881,
citing her refusal to act in the case
Of Japan in Manchuria. in the case
Of Spain, the rearmament of the
Rhineland. annexation of Austria
and the partitioning of Czecho-
Slovakia.
Without these policies" he de-
clared. Munich would have been
impossible"
William A. Beers of Dublin Uni
versity pleaded for realism. While
the people of Europe are confronted
by war, he said, you stand here
separated by miles Of sea and talk
as if you regarded Great Britain as
kind of European policeman and
yourselves as the minister of justice
telling the policeman what to do"
Charles E. Corker of the George
Washington team accused England
of giving the dictator states the
means by which they can defy the
"once mighty British Empire"
William Thomas Williams of the
University of Wales said: IF Brit
ain has muddled, America has iso-
lated. which is worse"
Some 400 persons attended the de-
bate and Prof. John A. McIntire of
the law faculty presided. There
were no judges and no decision was
made

President Peter D. Knight, OF
the Tampa Electric company, told
stockholders at their annual meet
ing here yesterday that the COM
pany now is paying the stagger-
ing sum of $558, 900 a year in tax
es," or SGT, 900 more than a year
ago, and how much longer it can
keep paying increasing taxes and
increasing operating costs without
increasing rates was problematic-
al
As president of the company he
called the attention of stockhold-
ers to the fact that operating costs
and taxes are rapidly mounting.
1T is well for you to know and
to keep in mind" he said, that
the Tampa Electric company now
IS paying a staggering sum in tax

longer we can continue to meet

Same Fare For IS Years
Keep before you the fact that
the company today has the Same
street car fare-five cents for
adults and two and a half cents
for school children-that it had IS
years ago when first founded, and
that rates for power and electric
lights have been constantly re-
duced during the past As years
1T is the only business know
of in Florida with taxes and costs
of operation constantly being in
creased that could keep the sell

there is any other business of a
similar kind / would like to hear
about it-and you would like to

not for the loyalty of its employees
and the efficiency of its splendid
operating department this situa-
ton could of course not have con-
tinued."
No Decrease In Sight
President Knight said frankly
he did not look for any reduction
in the cost of operation or in tax
eS.
The country, he said, SIS now
in the hands of the professional
politician, the political racketter,
the perennial office holder, the
tax eaters, and all business IS
more or less subject to the same
troubles and handicaps the Tampa
Electric company is subject to
