ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1928 EIGHT PAGES MICHIGAN WINS IN PACT DEBATE AGINSTIDIAN VARSITY NEGATIVE TO MEET OHIOa STATE GROUP TONIGHT MILLER IS SINGLE JUDGE Ormand Drake, Howard Simon, And Paul Franseth, Compose Winning Michigan Team Marking an inconsistency in the argument of the opposing case and pointing out that weakness through three rebuttal speeches, Michigan's affirmative defeated the Indiana negative in an intercollegiate de- bate last night in Hill auditorium. Prof. E. W. Miller of Wooster col- lege, Wooster, Ohio, was the single expert judge and gave the decision. The Paris Pact, now under con- sideration by the Senate committee on foreign relations, furnished the subject for discussion. A second debate upon the same topic will be held tonight at Columbus between the Varsity negative and the Ohio State affirmative. Was Close Contest Last night's contest was one o the closest and best debated heard in Ann Arbor in recent years, the advantage seeming to shift from side to side with each speech. Ex- cellent speaking combined with continued clashes upon the issues featured the argument. Ormand J. Drake, '3Ed, Howard Simon, '30, and Paul Franseth, '29, were the members of the winning Michigan team. John B. Newlin, Emmanuel H. Baugh, and Joseph V. Hefferman were the Indiana de- baters. In opening the affirmative case, Drake characterized the Paris Pact, though not a perfect instrument, as the first and a very important step toward world ;peace. "The pact is nothing more than an ex- pression of a universal will toward peace," he declared. Newlin Opens Negative Newlin was the first Indiana speaker. He argued that the na- tions of the world had participated in nothing more than a hypocri- tical act in signing the treaty, be- cause they had every reason to de- sire the entanglement of the Uni- ted States in Europe n affairs, and because Europe, economically de- pendent upon the United States, would hardly desire to oppose any American proposal. Simon in continuing the discus- sion for the affirmative pointed out that the treaty has been received with approval by world wide public opinion. It was his belief that "the pact will create international good- will, clarifying the position of each signatory power toward every other." Baugh Discusses Defense "The pact constitutes a solemn sanction of all wars of exception and reservation under which any nation miay wage a war of self- defense, reserving to itself the defi- nition of self-defense," Baugh said in delivering the second negative speech. "The nations of the World in de- manding the right to wage wars of self-defense must justify them- selves before the World in waging such wars," Franseth argued in re- ply to Baugh's speech. While de- claring that "public opinion will determine the destinies of nations," he also cited the promotion of friendly economic relations as an addition benefit to be gained from the Kellogg-Briand treaty. Hefferman Closes Arguments In concluding the constructive arguments, Hefferman, the thirdr Indiana speaker, declared, "The whole thesis of this pact is the preservation of the status quo, which if maintained must result in grave injustices to vast portions of the human race." Contending that the treaty is contrary to traditional American policy, he then advocated the addi- tion of a Monroe Doctrine reserva- ,ion. It was the inconsistency be- tween his speech accepting the treaty with reservations and the two preceeding negative speeches condemning the treaty that was recognized and repeated by the affirmative throughout all of the rehttal sneeches.

KING UNDERGOES TWO' OPERATIONS TO SAVE 'LIFE; CHANCES BETTER SURPEONS MAKE DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO SAVE SOVERIGN THRONE HEIR AT BEDSIDE1 Hopes For Royal Patient's Recovery Rise As Both Operations Prove Successful BULLETIN s (fly Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 12-With the heir to the throne once more at home, the famous surgeons of the kingdom today made two desperate efforts to save the life of King George. They per- formed two successful opera- tions, one this morning, and another more serious, tonight. The condition of His Majes- ty, was considered satisfactory and the hopes of his people for his recovery are rapidly rising from the despondency of the last two critical days. This morning a puncture was made to remove some of the pleural fluid around the base of the right lung. It was in- dicated that further drainage 7 would be required. The bulle- tin which was issued hours aft- er the operation said: "The slight improvement in the King's condition noted this 1 morning is maintained. Some purulent fluid around the base of the right lung has been re- moved by puncture this morn- ' ing, and further drainage will 1 be necessary.
