The extemporaneous discussion on the question: "Resolved that the interests of our nation demand a nationalistic form of government," drew a small, but enthusiastic, rainsoaked audience, to Sever 11, last evening. Owing to the number of those who were desirous of speaking, it was resolved after a stormy debate, to limit the time of each budding orator to five minutes.

The first speaker was Mr. Chadwick, L. S. He dwelt chiefly on the historical side of communism, and entered particularly into details, in recounting the various religious attempts at communistic settlements. He was followed by Mr. Young, who advocated the Bellamy idea, and gave a very lucid explanation of it. Mr. Young was very seathing when showing up the defects of the wage system.

J. Stacey Brown '92, fresh from his recent triumph at New Haven, entered vigorously into the spirit of debate. He said he did not rise to bespeak a hearing for any wild or fanciful utopian scheme, but for a gradual and practical adoption of a nationalistic form of government. He dwelt particularly on the injustice of the present form of government, and introduced a bitter comparison between the millionaire and the workingman of today.

J. N. Perkins '92, followed immediately, with a cool and deliberate argument, devoted mainly to showing the weakness of Mr. Brown's position. Mr. Campbell L. S., followed in the same vein.

E. R. Warren spoke in the same strain, and Crowley '93, H. G. Nichols, S. M. Brice, M. A. Bartlett, W. G. Strong and others, continued the debate.
