Democratic Victory
- Ends College Debate -
On Present Election

Gymnasium, October 31. Fre-
quent reference to the “record” on
the part of both sides ended final-
ly in a Democratic victory in the
Student Political Debate, on the
question, “Resolved, that the dem-
ocratic administration iis better
fitted to guide the nation through
the next four years, including the
post-war period.” ©

Anne Kingsbury and Monnie
Bellow made é€ presentation
speeches for the~Democrats, and
Esther Smith and April Oursler
were their Republican counter-
parts. The two rebuttal teams
were composed of Miriam Pottle
and Nancy Bierwirth, Republicans,
Thelma Baldasarre and Shirley
Heckheimer, Democrats. Mr. Wells
served as moderator, with Mr.
Hubbard, Miss Nepper and Madame
Dony forming the judges’ commit-
tee. i

The Democrats cited the “record”
as a basis for discussion of Demo-
cratic policy. In foreign relations
they noted the Good Neighbor Pol-
icy and the Atlantic Charter as
firm evidences of Roosevelt’s inter-
national attitude’ They denied
charges that the administration
had been unfavorable to small busi-
ness, pointing out that definite
government action had been taken
in several cases.

In reference to the “record”
again, the Republicans noted sig-
nificant Republican contributions
in Congress. In foreign policy,
they noted the platform statement
that the Republican party favors
active international cooperation in|
the post-war era. In the field of
domestic policy, the Republicans
favor the elimination of govern-
ment as a competitor of business,
an active labor ‘policy on the part
of the government, and the main-
tenance of full employment through
private enterprise.

The Democrats attacked the Re-
publican record in Congress, say-
ing that on the whole’ the Repub-
licans had been hostile to pre-war
defense measures, They attacked
Dewey as an unscrupulous district
attorney and declared that he had
failed to state conclusive post-war
plans, or a decisive foreign policy.

The Republicans charged that
the Roosevelt administration failed
to raise the country appreciably
from the 1932 depression. In for-
eign policy they condemned the ad-
ministration’s attitude as indecis-
ive on many questions of import-
ance.

In rebuttal, the Republicans
charged that the Democrats were
becoming entrenched in the admin-
istrative machinery, and were
bringing about an underlying
change in the nature of the gov-
ernment without actually making
any legal alterations. They con-
demned Roosevelt as seeking per-
sonal power more and more, and
remarked that he had shown him-
self no great director of foreign
affairs.

The Democrats noted the fact
that the Republicans’ plan to free
industry from government contro]
while subjecting labor to central-
ized government direction. They
declared that Dewey’s contradic-

tory remarks on foreign policy |.

made his attitude extremely un-
certain, and that the platform was
no criterion of this attitude.

Current Events :
Continued from Page 2

We must keep in mind that the
war is not over, and that we are
extremely fortunate to have a
g00d commander-in-chief. Mr.
Roosevelt has shown his ability in
his selection of the general staff
and in his organization of nation-
al defenses despite congressional
opposition.

In the coming era of making
the peace, ‘the prestige that Mr.
Roosevelt’s name carries among
the peoples of the world will be an
invaluable asset. Furthermore,
his experience in coalition warfare
will aidjhim. As far as having
Congressional support for his pol-
icies, Miss Taylor felt that inter-
nationalists of both’ political par-
ties would support: him.

The third question to be consid-
ered is that of converting the
home front from a wartime to a
peacetime economy. Mr. Roose-
velt was successful in converting
from peace to war and this exper-
ience should help him in the

change back. Miss Taylor pointed
to the multitude of annoying gov-
ernmental regulations, which more
or less alienated organized labor,
but which | saved the country
from inflation, as adequate proof
of the President’s ability.

 

Paper Salvage Drive

War Alliance, are as follows:

Fencing Plans Includes
Three Outside Meets

 

Katharine Lutz, president of
this year’s fencing team, expresses
high hopes that Bryn Mawr will
acquit itself creditably in the three
meets planned for the season.

Under the. guidance of Mrs. R.
Henri Gordon, twenty students
meet in the gym tri-weekly to
practice. Among these are mem-
bers of last year’s team: Alice
Hart, Katharine Lutz, Margaret
MecPhedran and Mrs. Thane.

“A promising group” is the epi-
thet Mrs. Gordon has bestowed on
the many enthusiastic Freshmen
who have taken up the foils.

Gordon herself is one of a family] |e

of fencers. Her husband teaches
the art. at Swarthmore, which fact
will add excitement. to the coming
Bryn Mawr-Swarthmore encounter.

The beginners’ class meets Mon-
day, Wednesday and Thursday
nights at seven-thirty, while the
advanced meets at eight-thirty. It
seems that there is quite a con-
trast between the styles of the two
divisions, but many a_ beautiful
thrust and parry has come from
humble beginnings.
