Armed Intervention in Carribean to Be Upheld by Harvard--Sachs, Hess, and Courtney Speak

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

N. M. Sachs '29, L. S. Hess Sp., and R. F. Courtney '29, will debate against a team from the University of Porto Rico this evening in Paine Hall on the question: "Resolved. That the United States should cease to protect by armed forces American investments in the Carribean, without prior declaration of war." Harvard will uphold the negative side.

The team representing the University of Porto Rico will be composed of Vicente Roure, Jr., W A J Colorado, and Gabriel Guerra. Roure is a senior in the department of Education of his university, and at the same time is engaged in the instruction of health education and tropical hygiene. Colorado, a first year student, has won two awards of the Porto Rican Atheneum for excellence in poetry. Guerra is in his second year, and is closely connected with the Porto Rican Alliance, a political party in Porto Rico.
