惠
No.146
Signers Are Students and Faculty Disapproving Lifting of the Arms Act
The following petition is being circulated over the campus in protest against the Arms Embargo Act to Mexico;
"We as students and faculty members of the University of Kansas, be believe that the pending issues which concern property rights and the interpretation of international agreements can and ought to be addressed by us," he added, urging treaty, in our opinion, has increased the tension between the two countries.
"We strongly disapprove lifting of the arms embargo, or any other measure provocative of conflict; and we heartily urge immediate steps toward peaceful adjudication of this country's difficulties with Mexico."
The final results of the petition will take the form of a registered protest of individual students and faculty members, rather than a petition representing the University. About two or three hundred persons may be sent to Senator Borah, Secretary Kellogg, and President Coilidge. The following students are primarily responsible for the protest and are circulating the petition: Paul Porter, Austin van der Slice, Sueberather, Frank Klingberg, Doro-Seattle, Eton, X. H., and Miriam Grant.
Practically all the colleges in the East have expressed their views on the matter. Last January a petition signed by nearly four hundred college students, and more than other public men was sent in. Recently, a group of professors in international law petitioned against the bill. Numerous individual protests have been organized in importance, according to Paul Porter, one of the petitioners.

Defense Arouses Chinese
"The presence of harbored wire and sand bags is most humiliating," the marshall said, "You did not have such protections when the northern troops were here and so why should you have them now? We feel that this represents discrimination in favor of Chinese militarists."

Affirmative Side Has Been Chosen for Dove Debate
Charles Embrare, c27, Charles F. Scott, c29, and Ralph Chilbrar, c28, have been selected to represent the affirmative in the campus problem debate to be held after Easter on the subject: "Resolved: That the Dove should be abolished from the campus. The Dove should be tried by three men who are to be selected from the staff of the Dove. Tryouts were held Monday and Tuesday in the form of conferences with Prof. E. C. Buehler, of the department of speech and dramatic arts. It was first announced that only two men would be selected to debate on each side, but there was such a showing of ability and partisanship that it tried out for the affirmative that the number of participants in the debate was changed from two to three for each side.
Tryouts Held Soon
The men selected for the affirmative have had no debating experience, and have had no relation with the Missouri Valley University. Ability to baseplication in the debate has based largely upon interest and knowledge of the subject to be debated, Mr. Buehler said.
Professor Buchier will have no further connection with the debaters, his responsibility having been only with the relection of the three men. The team will work out their own material and manner of presentation. The debate will therefore be the most taken up opportunity to get尝 experience in a debate that will undoubtedly acrouse a great deal of interest.
The court room trial procedure will be followed throughout the debate, and the audience will make the decision. The same method was used in the debate with Northwestern University Monday night and was very well received. The first two speakers for each side will be given twelve minutes to mass audience speeches. The second speaker for each side will give the twelve minutes allotted to him for cross examination of the opposition.
First Campus Debate
The chairman who is to preside will act as judge for determining whether a question be objectionable and with permissible. After the cross examination is finished one speaker for each side will take eight minutes for rotational, summary and plan. Both before and after the debate the audience will vote upon the answer to the question, an answer to the decision as a slide has won the debate will be made by the audience after the debate.
This will be the first debate on campus problems to be held at the University and it is hoped that the project will bring debate closer to the interests of the students, Mr. Bushler said. The results of the campus problems speech on Tuesday are a great interest in such projects, and the Dove debate will no doubt be one of the most interesting of the season.

Arbitration to Settle Trouble With Mexico, Advocated by Chubb
Professor Traces Difficulties to Interference of arge Oil Interests
Prof. H. II. Chubb of the department of political science spoke at a general forum yesterday afternoon on between the United States and Mexico,"
The talk was mainly a review of the sequence of events leading up to the present situation, and an interpretation of them with conclusions as to the immediate condition. Professor Chubb traced the history of the relations between the United States and Mexico from the time of the downfall of the Díaz in 1911 to the present, giving the context of all interests.
part played.
The whole question hinges on the presence of the old treaty of Guadalepe-Hidiafe in 1848 which provides for arbitration in the event of any dispute between the two countries. No immediate danger of war is seen by Professor Chubb except as the result of some unforeseen event.
The new Mexican constitution which was drafted in 1917 provided, in Article 27, for the nationalization of all allosuit mineral deposits, with the purpose of conserving Mexico. This provision was practically amounted to confiscation of foreign property, but President Obregon made a concession to the effect that this act would not apply to interests hold prior to May, 1917. The new Constitution reinforced an investment of Article 27 by President Calles, making it again retroactive.
The large oil interests are, according to Professor Chubb, behind all threats of war. The Dutch Shell oil company has said it would defend oil community of the United States are actively contending over Mexican rights. Apparently the Doheny interests are responsible for much of the threatened intervention in Mexico.
After the conclusion of his talk, Professor Chubb led discussion, answering questions asked by the students. The orientation was strong at the meeting, and a petition is being circulated among the students of the University asking for arbitration of all disputes, to be sent to President Coolidge.

Bolshevik Leader May Be Secured for Convocation
Former Premier Now in United States May Start on Tour in Summer
The convocation committee is attempting to secure as a speaker on next year's convocation program, Alexander Kerenksy, leader of the Russian republic, will serve as the provisional government set up after the fall of the Tsar.
Korensky is now visiting in New York City. Whether he will remain in this city, or pursue the summer at a lecture, the fall has not been finally decided.
"We should be delighted to present Kerensky at a University concession if it is possible," and John E. Dyer, chairman of the committee this morning. "However, even if he should be available, the cost of bringing him here would probably be so great as to prohibit his doing so, unless admission was charged for an evening meeting."
"Because of the prominent part he played in the affair, Korsenky could give a契机 of the revolution and the coup de tempat of the Bolsheviks in 1917 which could not be obtained in any other way," said Prof. F. H. Guild, of the department of political science, at whose suggestion the former Russian statesman is being approached.
"While his view would in all probability be prejudiced, a sound interpretation would reveal the true facts of the time. The convocation committee is trying to work out a balanced schedule of meetings, and it is fitting that students be given an opportunity of hearing first hand impressions of recent events in Russia, which is one of the 'live spots' of the world today from the standpoint of the growth of democracy."
