HARVARD DELIVERS JUDGMENT AGAINST ENGLISH ALLIANCE

British Hold Combined Naval Powers Peace Security in Pacific, Treaty Relief Hope to Europe Fears

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Basing its arguments on the impracticality of an Anglo-American alliance, the Debating Club will endeavor this afternoon, to convince some 2,000,000 English and American radio listeners of the validity of its claim.

Oxford, who has chosen the affirmative in this much-heralded wireless debate: Resolved, That there be an Anglo-American alliance to maintain world peace, will uphold its side by demonstrating the moral effect which the United States could have on Europe.

Starting at 3 o'clock, the debate is scheduled to last exactly 30 minutes. Originating from Radio City, New York, the broadcast will be carried over the NBC Blue Network, and will come to Boston through Station WBZ. All introductions will be made in the United States.

In fuller detail the Oxford speakers, Gordon Murray and K. R. F. Steele-Maitland, will base their case on the practical effects of the alliance in the Pacific, its stabilizing power on world exchange, and its soothing effect on war-rampant Europe.

The Harvard debaters, Frederick DeW. Bolman, Jr. '35, and A. Gilman Sullivan '36, will maintain that as such an alli- ance could have no moral effect for peace, it would be impractical and disregarded, which would in itself contain seeds for future war.

As both sides have submitted their speeches to the British Broadcasting Company for approval, the company will be in a position to switch the debate off in England, at least if either of the parties departs from its submitted text
