RELATIONS CLUB
MEETS THURSDAY
Topic of Discussion Concerns
Russian Recognition by
United States.
At the first meeting of the year
for the International Relations
club. Thursday evening the topic
for discussion was "Should the
United States Recognize Russia?"
Graduate students who presented
the affirmative side of the ques
tion were Melvin Martin, Vincent
Broady, and Joe Miller, while the
negative was upheld by Charles
Warner.
Melvin Martin, graduate student
in political science here, who
comes from Russia, outlined the
form of the soviet government in
that country, discussed improve
ments which have developed in
that country since the present
government was established, and
presented the reasons for recogni
tion by the United States.
Joe Miller, another graduate
student in political science, fur
thur substantiated the arguments
for recognition. and Vincent
Broady also presented arguments
for that procedure by this coun
try. Charles Warner was the speaker
opposing recognition at present, at
least until Russia recognizes her
debt obligations. The various dis
cussions centered around the points
of trade relations with the soviet
government, and the settlement of
the debt questions, which have
proved to be stumbling blocks in
attempts at agreements previously.
Following the speeches, members
of the club took part in a group
discussion of the question.
