Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 4, No. 8. July 16, 1941

In Short

In Short.

When the motion was thrown open to the house we had one of his best speeches from Jim Winchester, who showed us that there were two Americas—the have and the have-not. We were treated to an excellent satiric description of flag-saluting by Gurth Higgin; a plea for Federal Union by Johnny Cope; a prayer for Socialism led by Pat Hildreth and echoed by the wish for union with the U.S.S.R. by Jacko. Hal Grieg gave possibly the only really sincere speech of the evening and Dave Castle showed us that three months could not alter his dialectical spirit.

Neither Dennis nor Lindsay had anything to say in their summing up, which was probably fortunate. Mr. Evan Parry placed the speakers as follows: Foley Higgin; Hartley; Greig and Cope.
