C. and Normal debaters Friday evening the Armory. T he night was rainy and some were doubtless kept away but all who did attend heard a spirited discussion. T he and question was, "Resolved: T h at the policy of our government should be to hold the Philippines as a perma nent part of the territory of the United States. Ypsilanti upheld the affirmative, M. A. C. the nega tive. " T he negative," M r. E. C. Kellog, first the affirmative speaker, contended that it is not a new policy on the part of the United States to hold acquired the territory. speaker said, " must support one of ( 1 ) T he islands two propositions. may be held temporarily, or ( 2) they may be abandoned, either by- immediate withdrawal or by sale." T wo questions were then proposed for the negative to answer: If it is wrong to hold the islands perma nently, is it right to hold them tem porarily ? If it will be unprofitable to hold them permanently will it be profitable tempora rily ? If permanent possession is w r o ng we must withdraw now. If we withdraw immediately, to whom them ? More shall we surrender over the permanent retention of-the islands will be of benefit to ( 1) the United States and to ( 2) the Fili pinos, themselves. Furthermore, we have a moral obligation to perform. Spain ceded the sovereignty to the United States. Our title is recog- nizd the world over. Peace is prac tically established and the majority to hold them islands Mr. Dail in the beginning of his remarks stated that the commercial advantage of the to the United States would be granted by the negative but said further that the commercial advantage was not the ground upon which the discus sion of the question must rest. T h e re are three ways by which we may deal with the islands. ( 1 ) them as territory We may hold towards statehood or we looking them to statehood at may admit them a^ once ( 2 ) we may hold permanent dependencies. T he Fil self ipinos are either capable of government or they are not. If they are capable of self government, they should have, ultimately, inde pendence; if they are not, it is un desirable that they form a part of the United States government, for no Teutonic ever into its successfully body-politic an alien race and we have one race problem on our hands now. To govern them as depend encies, it will be necessary to change our government to that of the E n g lish Cabinet system for our ponder ous constitutional machinery is not adapted to a colonial policy. people has incorporated commercial M r. Vleit for the affirmative said that it has never been and that it never will be our policy to grant independence to people in rebellion. T he argument was taken up at some length. Our trade relations with the Philippines are by nature reciprocal. W i th Guam and Hawaii they form a link in the trade route to the East and afford us a naval base for operations in the Orient. But we must have com plete control. Teutonic peoples are by a natural law, governors. We have a duty to perform. T he inter dependence not the independence of nations is the watchword of our time. length, Miss V an Orden for the negative showed, at some reasons w hy the Philippines would not be a permanent commercial advantage to the United States. England's trade with India has been profitable only because of the unjust commer cial policy of the English nation. trade with Canada has England's fallen off thirty per cent, in forty years. Holland has had a like ex perience with her colonies thus showing that trade only under cer follows the tain given conditions flag. T he Philippines have cost more in blood and money than they can repay for countless years to come and besides the European nations are getting and by natural trade relations will continue to get most of the Philippine trade. T he continuation of our present policy means t he taxing of all for the com mercial advantage of the trusts. Mr. J. A. Munson the last affirm ative speaker set forth the benefits accruing to the Filipinos from con trol by the United States. In the three years of our occupancy, we have brought into these islands four thousand school teachers, have estab lished courts of justice, abolished the former iniquitous system of tax- ALUMNI. '63.

T he history of Venezuela is one of numerous revolutions. Our policy in the archipelago has had a parallel, for California was under military rule from 1846 to 1850. Mr. Millar, in the closing speech for the negative, ridiculed the idea that the Philippines do not desire independence. Their whole history tells of their struggle for liberty. Teutonic peoples have never suc cessfully governed alien races. We cannot force our government on an people. T he United unwilling States has acquired territory in three ways, by gift, by conquest, and by purchase. To say that we acquired the islands by gift or conquest is If we say that we acquired absurd. them by purchase, it should hold true their that the Filipinos gave consent to the purchase. Our title is not clear. We should hold them inde temporarily and give pendence as we did Cuba. them Following the first speeches of ten minutes each, the six speakers had each five minutes for rebuttal.

It seems to be the natural tendency for mankind to destroy to wish plants and animals. Boys take de light in shooting any live animal to be found at any time, excepting do mestic animals. T he older men delight in cleaning out shrubs and trees, possibly excepting a few at equal distances along the line of a fence. At this time of the year especially do the students at M. A.
