Merits of Two Systems Under Fire in Forum
Ownership of Property By Small Per Cent of Population Condemned
"Real recovery means that every man who is willing and able to work can expect a lasting job under a system which is socially, politically and economically acceptable to him. That is possible only under the capitalistic system of private ownership, production for profit, and free competition," said Herbert Agar, noted economist, who debated the affirmative side of the question, "Is Real Recovery Possible Under Capitalism," in the Hoch auditorium last night.
Lewis Corcy, liberal editor who was his opponent on the panel arranged by the student forums board, contended that these very principles defeated any attempt at successful recovery. "We are both agreed that capitalism as it now exists in the United States is incapable of ever recovering for long," he pointed out, "and it is my contention that the existing form of capitalism is the sole and inevitable outgrowth of private ownership and production for profit."
"The present breakdown in the capitalistic system is due entirely to the fact that production has become unprofitable for the capitalist," he continued. "It must now be placed on a basis of use alone and this is possible only under communal ownership and management."
Agar, in his first rebuttal, countered this argument by the proposition that when you place production on a basis of use, you have a situation where the control of the whole complex problem is left in the hands of a few. Hence, all those who think or act differently from these few become inconvenient and are removed properly. He cited the "blood purges" of Hitler and Lenin as examples.
"America has a feeling for democracy which no other great nation of the world possesses. Its contribution to the world should be a nation where real, thorough-going democracy is possible. This it has never been, but this it may be, if we face the right problems, and we must not say that it said "It is not an easy task, but it is a possible one."
Both speakers agreed that "Power follows property," that if the control of property gets into the hands of a few people democracy is deemed, and that the present system does not continue to exist uncurbed.
His solution was a return to the historic beliefs of the makers of the constitution regarding small business and free competition.
Bob Thorpe, c'37, introduced the speakers and served as chairman of the debate.

Henry said that he would do no actual coaching for "a year at least." Next fall will be the first time in his career that he has not been instructed grid men.

HOPKINS PRAISES "G-MEN"
Federal Judge Outlines Court Organization for Law Students
"G-Men" are responsible for a great increase in the efficiency of the federal courts in Kansas," said Judge Richard J. Hopkins, of the federal court in Oklahoma. Hopkins adds that law convocation in Green Hall yesterday morning.
He pointed out that the federal courts in Kansas have a problem peculiar to themselves, in that many of the convicts assigned to the penitentiary at Leavenworth seek their release here through habeas corpus cases; in the Supreme Court, the courts to pass on the jurisdiction of courts in other states.
"That only 12 of the 400 felony cases indicted in federal courts of Kansas during the past year ever came to trial, is due largely to the efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in bringing before grand jury cases in which conviction was almost certain," he said. Three others were indicted. 300 pleaded guilty after indictment, 80 were dismissed by federal attorneys, and the remainder only were contested."
The judge lunched with members of the School of Law faculty, at the University Club, following the convocation.
