DEBATING UNION TO HOLD FIRST MEETING TUESDAY

The first meeting of the Debating Union will be held at the Harvard Union next Tuesday evening at 7.30 o'clock and will be open to all members of the University. Four men, two of whom will be undergraduates, will debate on the proposition: "Resolved, That this house believes that the Monroe Doctrine in its applications to South and Central America should be abandoned."

Haya de la Torre, a South American who has spoken a good deal in England and in the United States on South American subjects, will uphold the affirmative and J. P. Baxter, history tutor and Instructor in the Division of History, Government, and Economics, will support the negative. After the four speakers have finished, the floor will be open to all present.

The Debating Union was originally formed as an independent institution, but last year the organization was incorporated into the Harvard Union. It will hold about ten debates during the course of the year.
