Executive Appointments

Executive Appointments.

At the initial meeting of the new executive on Tuesday, 6th July, the following appointments were made: Hon. assistant-secretary, Mr. R. S. C. Agar; hon. assistant-treasurer, Mr. Pasley; President's representative on Building Committee, Mr. H. R. C. Wild.

Mr. Scotney. dealing with interjectors in fascist style, argued that violence did not always defeat its own end, and said that we must either submit to violence or use violence to end violence. (This seems about as logical as the war to end war).

Mr. Myers made the one original joke of the evening when he said, "at one time they put Coates on to us, next time they will take coats off to us!"

In her summing up Miss Shortall said that we must oppose violence because it had come to a pitch where one or two men could wipe out humanity.

Mr. Freeman, closing the debate, said that the negative had treated violence purely as a normative fact, not as a positive fact. His arguments were generally sound, but too elaborate to ra speech, and he made too many quotations from learned authorities.
