BC Debate Team Bows to Harvard In Milton Exhibit

Harvard's Debate Council finally tasted victory last night by defeating Boston College in an exhibition debate at Milton Academy. It was the first win for the Debate Council in four starts.

Robert Kratz '50 and John Sutter '52 argued the affirmative of the subject: "Resolved that the United Nations now be revised into a Federal World Government." William J. Murphy and John T. Moore supported the negative view for Boston College.

Atomic Destruction

Kratz and Sutter asserted that the atomic bomb threatens the complete destruction of civilization. Therefore, they argued, world government which was always desirable is now imperative. They insisted that a sufficient spirit of world community exists to sustain "a comprehensive binding system of order."

Boston College's team countered that world government is impractical and impossible. The individual nations are still intent on preserving their sovereignty.
