Debating Society — Proves Its Merits

Debating Society

Proves Its Merits

Following on its great success over C.U.C. in a recent radio debate, the Debating Society sent a team to try conclusions with the redoubtable Hutt Valley Debating Club.

Kingi Tahiwi, Max Brown, and Nesbitt Sellers completely persuaded a receptive audience that War is quite on the cards (quaite!).

With his usual fluency and satanic plausibility, Kingi stressed the close relations between war and trade. Mr. Renner (Hutt) unfolding a map, demonstrated the utter absence of Japan from Europe. Mr. Brown, with his well-known fund of stories, indicated that a German "lamb" was bent on aggression. The other Hutt speakers mingled brotherly love with the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Mr. Sellers went all psychological, but not Freudian (at least, not much).

Mr. Evan Parry anticipated his judicial position with a masterly summing-up and awarded V.U.C. the verdict.
