AUSTRALIAN DEBATERS LOSE TO CRIMSON 3 TO 0

Defeated by Harvard Team Playing Telegrams from Lewis and Green as Trump Cards

The question "Resolved, That Congress should adopt the Australian system of compulsory arbitration" was debated before a studio audience over station WAAB and a coast-to-coast Mutual Broadcasting hook-up.
