Debate Teams Discuss Cancellation of Debt
Debaters
"Europe can't pay but she must pay," the debate teams of the University of Kansas and the Kansas City League of Young Democrats, decided yesterday afternoon in the studies of radio station KABC; Kansas City, Mo.
Kenneth M. Jordon and Charles E. Hassett, members of the Kansas state team last year, represented the team in all of the games and donated Hula Hulls, 135, and Harold Harding, 125, spoke for the University upholding the affirmative on the subject. "Resolved: That All Intergovernmental and Reparations Shall be Cancelled."
Huls opened the argument by declaring the debtors cannot pay and repudiation is inevitable.
"American insists on gold which they do not possess," he contended, "and the United States will not accept goods."
Hassel denied that Europe could not pay saying, "As long as the countries spend money extravagantly for armaments, they are under the obligation to provide it; it is a lack of good faith on the part of Europe to consider the loans as gifts.
Harding summed up his arguments by saying if we take goods it will paralyze our industries and if we demand their nations as well as arouse hatred.
"It is not a case whether we like it or not," he insisted, "because if we do not cancel, they will repudiate."
"American taxpayers have their own trials and tribulations," Jordan manures. "We are not paying for a war directed against them." He stated that our debtors have not adopted any real spirit of internationalism, nationalism, selfish, intriguing and nationalistic.
A debate team of the Young Man's Hebrew association challenged the winner, to be chosen by the radio audience, to a meeting next Sunday.

They refused to abandon hope that the Chicago executive would yet overcome the effects of a bullet which was fired at President-elect Rosevell, but they admitted his chances were diminished by the complication.
Miami, Fla., Feb. 27- (UP) - Mayor Anton J. Cermak's marmalack fight to live was complicated today by pneumonia which forced his respiration to the dangerous speed of 40 a minute.
Dr. Karl Meyer emerged from the sick room and said, "Winterday, I had all the hope in the world. Today of course our hope is lessened."
Meyer explained that the jump to 40 in respiration was due to the pneumonia area in the right lung near the place the blood penetrated, forcing a call to the remainder of the lung. It indicates that the tissue is being thrown on the balance of the lung. This balances the non-functional consolidated area of the lung.
Cermak was given broth again today and physicians indicated that the colitis condition which had previously worn down his strength was checked.
