A committee of five students re

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA,
M'KIE DELIVERS
IVY DAY SPEECH
University of Nebraska De
bater Holds Large Audi
ence With Talk
SPEAKER FAVORS DRILL
Before a large audience that lis
tened attentively to every word,
Alexander McKie, Ivy Day orator,
offered reasons for keeping military
training a part of the university
curriculum. Mr. McKie is a senior
in Law college and his home is in
Omaha.
Taking "Compulsory Military
Training" as his subject Mr. McKie
weighed the advantages of military
training against the disadvantages.
"There are two classes of people who
oppose military training on the cam
pus of the university of Nebraska",
he declare, "those who do not be
lieve in any type of military train
ing and those who object to compul
sory training in our educational
institutions."
"The first class is composed main
ly of Pacifists. Pacifists refuse to
countenance wars of any kind, be the
case of that war what it may be," be
continued. "They believe that the
United States should refrain from
any kind of military preparedness".
Wars Always Will Be
Carrying out the idea that military
preparedness makes a country more
liable to war than unpreparedness,
the speaker attempted to prove that
there will always be wars regardless
of the state of readiness of the coun
tries. Mr. McKie stated that in the
past the United States has been con
spicuous for her lack of prepared
ness. Yet this has not prevented any
of the great wars in which she has
engaged.
"But, the pacifists maintain as
their second argument," he contin
ued, "if the United States disarm,
other nations will follow. Will they?
Which nations?" asked the speaker.
"The United States did dismantle its
navy in 1785 but no other nations
followed our lead and we were
mighty for it in 1812." Other inci
dents from the history of the United
States were cited to prove that each
nation is entirely wary of the others.
This Country Not a Test
In the opinion of Mr. McKie the
Pacifists should take their theories
to other countries where there is an
opportunity to test them where
there is actual war going on. If the
argument was carried to Europe
where there is a chance to improve
the conditions by stopping the fight
ing, it is the belief of the speaker
that the theory would be ridiculed.
"The removal of armament will
not, in itself, prevent war," he af
firmed. "If ever a nation was com
pleted humbled in war, that nation
was the Turkish Empire after the
World War. Her army was demobil
ized and scattered all over Western
Asia. Yet within two years she has
rallied her forces, made war on
Greece, and issued ultimatums to the!
rest of the world." i
"War, or force, is a natural phen- j
omenon, either among nations or in
dividuals", Mr. McKie declared. "As
long as the human being remains im
perfect, there will be crimes commit
ted, and quarrels and disputes will
rise. If Pacificm is to be consis
tent, it must be applied to individuals
as well as to nations. Individuals,
then must settle their quarrels !
must meet crime and similar situa
tions with peaceful non-resistance.
Experience has shown that indivi
duals will not accept the complete
doctrine of Pacifism".
Leaga of Nations Discussed
Discus? ing the League of nations
as a possible preventitive of future
war, the reluctance of the United
States in entering was brought out
by the speaker. Unless some effec
tive way of settling disputes is iound
there -will always be the possibility
of war. Mr. McKie reviewed the
