MONROE DOCTRINE TO COME UNDER FIRE OF DEBATERS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Members of the University will have a chance to display their forensic abilities tomorrow evening at 7.30 o'clock at the Union, when the Debating Union will throw open the floor to all those present after a formal debate between four men on the proposition: "Resolved, That this house believes that the Monroe Doctrine, in its applications to South and Central America, should be abandoned."

At this first meeting of the Debating Union for the year, two experienced speakers and two undergraduates will argue. The latter have not yet been announced; the former will be Haya de a Torre, a South American graduate of Oxford who has spoken widely in England and in the United States who will uphold the affirmative, and J. P. Baxter, History Tutor and instructor in the Division of History, Government, and Economics, who will support the negative. After the four speakers have finished, the floor will be open to all who may wish to speak.
