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.
