The strength of intercollegiate debating in
other universities-at KU where 11,000 persons at
tended one contest was subject of Friday's edito
rial. But debating has a really deeper significance
for the individual student who wants to he a well
rounded citizen when he leaves college.
That this is a solid, widely-held opinion in edu
cational circles is shown in a September bulletin,
"Higher Education and National Defense," issued
by the American Council on Education, Washing
ton, D. C.
"To serve the formation of stable morale in all
citizens much emphasis is given to the seeking of
information and to discussion in its various forms.
The Federal Security Agency makes a definite call
on the colleges to promote amonj students such
discussion and forum procedure, that they may par
ticipate effectively in community discussion groups,
and, in many cases, organize and lead these groups!
When a university sponsored activity such as
debating is so important to the training of good,
intelligent citizens, it is strange it does not receive
more student support than it does. We know lots
of people who say they got a really zestful feeling
-the joy of competition-from debating against
their fellows. But more than that is the fact that
every student, whether he argues or listens, learns
useful facts, sees ways of thinking, and may-we
Bay "may" advisedly - put the facts or the thoughts
to definite use when he leaves the university, if
not sooner!
Both the back and front doors of the U. S. are
now in a state of animation. The crippling of the
destroyer Keamv in the Atlantic, and the forma-
tion of a Japanese cabinet under the leadership of
Lieut. General Eiki Toio, bring to a crisis affairs
on both sides of America. There is as much hustle
and bustle in the State department this weekend
as there was in Sept. 1939.
The results likely to come from the formation
of a military and pro-Axis cabinet in Japan were
summarized here today. It means that the reigns
of government of the strongest nation in the Far
discussed in Friday's column and will be but briefly
East are in the hands of persons whose aims are
antithesis to those of the U. S. They do not fear
the military or naval might of this nation; as a re
sult they will not let our threatened disapproval
stop them f rom closing the Sea of Japan and block
ing the route to Vladivostok, or expanding further
into Southeastern Asia, if they see fit to do so. The
only hope for a less .militant Japan lies in the fact
that the army and navy are now under the per
sonal control of the Emperor. His decisions said to
be in favor of conciliating the U. S., cannot be dis
regarded by the military leaders.
In the Atlantic things are even more critical.
As you know the American destroyer Kearny was
torpedoed and disabled by a German submarine in
the waters southwest of Iceland on Friday. It was
in the same general area as was the attack upon
the destroyer Greer several weeks back. Inasmuch
as the attack was made in the waters this side of
Iceland it was within the defensive waters of the
U. S. as recognized by most sources, including
Hamilton Fish, the isolationist representative from
New York.
The answer of the U. S. government will not be
a diplomatic protest. Such formalities may be dis
pensed with when dealing with a country such as
Germany. The answer will come with the further
strengthening of the Atlantic patrol, and the arm
ing of merchant vessels. The attack came at the
psychological moment to put through the arming
of merchant vessels clause with a 2 to 1 majority
in the house. If the convoy system is not in opera
tion between here and Iceland, it is reasonable to
expect that it will be put into operation now, and
that our warships will hunt in pairs.
This incident alone will not be sufficient to
plunge us into a complete "state of war." A series
of such flagrant acts will, however, be likely to do
so. If we do enter the war while the present Jap
anese cabinet is in power, we can be fairly sure that
we win oe fighting on both oceans if we choose to
protect our "freedom of the seas" in the Pacific as
well as the Atlantic.
