FOUR PAGES
Debating the Missouri valley league question," Resolved: That congress should adopt Colton Mitchell's plant. A federal judge ordered others relied much upon authority.
The affirmative speakers argue that aviation's growth merited its special development. Aviation has been come a powerful arm of defense, capable of controlling vast contours. This development would be facilitated by placing aviation in a separate department, putting the developing of aviation in the hands of flyers, they are not so well trained and properly evaluated aviation according to the affirmative.
The negative argued that the powers of aviation have been greatly overestimated and that the United States should not adopt this plan because the military authority has failed to respond. There is no need for the adoption of the plan, according to the negative speakers, because in quality and quantity of aviation we lead the world. They argued that the army has not hindered aviation activity by providing it with an integral part of the army. The speakers said that aviation has never demonstrated that it was anything but an integral part of the army and navy since aviation is dependent for its operation upon the army and navy. The argument, which the affirmative purge can be well accomplished under the present system, they said.
Prof. A. M. Tobeffon as chairman proved to be the factor of suspense by not immediately announcing the decision of the judges when handed to him. The judges were D. L. McEchlor of Washburn, R. H. Ritchie of Ottawa University and F. R. Ross of the Emperor Teachers College.
The last debate of the season will be at Boulder with the University of Colorado. The affirmative team will debate there March 12.

Germany's Place Is in the League, Says Erich Koch
Iard Work Will Open Dooto to National Freedom, Party Leader
(Leader of the German Democratic Party).
(United Press)
Ry Erich Koch
Berlin, March 3—Germany's place is in the League of Nations, where by dint of hard work she shall recover that freedom and equality among nations, which she lost to the Vereans peace treaty. No other door to freedom and equality is open to Germany.
Another European war would culminate in the destruction, not only of Germany, but all of Europe. Europe will either be Balkanized or will become n. group of peaceful, unified states.
But Germany also belongs within the League of Nations for another reason. She must enter the League in order to expose the rights of German and all other violated minorities in Southern Europe; the populations are disturbed so diffensely that the establishment of states on strictly national lines is impossible. The attempt to create "national states" by ecting or annihilating the minorities, is not easy because of the causal loss of complications. Relief is thinkable only through the granting of cultural autonomy to the national minorities. It is the duty of the League to provide the basis for this cultural autonomy by promulgating an international law for minor
As a member of the League, Germany must at last have herself to the task of warding off the blows of imperialism, which strong nations are want to inflict upon the weaker, by no means least, upon them. In the face of German may not leave this beneficent task to Russia—for Russia is attempting to solve this problem outside the League of Nations, bringing the gift of bishops to those people whom she should to liberate from their control within the League, Germany must work for the world's purification.
