LOYOLA | . COLLEGE Page 10 REVIEW Mr. Sullivan of Loyola, insisted that the discussion be limited to those points peculiar to the C.C.F. party. After quoting Mr. Coldwell to establish the Regina Manifesto as the official pro- gram, he showed that the first point of the Manifesto would ultimately cause the loss of freedom. The second speaker of the Affirmative, Mr. McCarthy maintained that the C.C.F. was the only solution, because it was an organization of the people, by the people, and for the people. In closing the case for Loyola, Mr. King discussed the second point of the Manifesto, the socialization of finance and industry. He showed that it would lead to bankruptcy—if the gov- ernment intended to buy all business—or to revolution—if they tried to expel the owners by force of arms. The decision was two to one in favour of Loyola's negative team. FINALS By virtue of winning their two preliminary debates, Loyola won the right to meet St. Pat's, the finalists in the Western Section, to decide the I.U.D.L. championship. ST. PAT'S AT LOYOLA Walter Bambrick and Brian Freeland represented St. Pat's College and defended the same resolution against Bill Sullivan and Neil King. The debate took place on F ebruary 22nd in the College Auditorium. Brian Freeland, the first speaker for St. Pat's, gave a general outline of the C.C.F. program with special refere nce to the apparent success ofSocialization in Russia. Walter Bambrick, the second speaker of the affirmative, also dwelt on the wrongs of the present system and their remedy—the C.C.F. program. The arguments of Bill Sullivan and Neil King were substantially the same as in the prelimi- nary debate. Particularly noteworthy, however, was the forceful method in which the latter speaker delivered his speech. The verdict was unanimous in favour of the Loyola negative team. LOYOLA AT ST. PAT'S On the same evening, the affirmative team of Arthur Halley and Jack O'Brien met St. Pat's negative team of Gary O'Neil and Frank Dunlap in the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa. The St. Pat's team criticized the C.C.F. leaders and their party, and laid special stress on the evil effects that would follow the C.C.F.'s entry into power. Arthur Halley and Jack O'Brien again distinguished between the party itself and its pro- gram. The distinction, however, was not recognized by the judges, and the decision was unani- mous in favour of St. Pat's. Loyola was dcelared champion of the LU.D.L. on a basis of percentage of points. MONTREAL DEBATING LEAGUE The Loyola Debating Society took part in two M.D.L. debates during the season. In the first, Joe White and Harry Griffin defended the resolution, Resolved, that children under sixteen should be admitted to the movies when accompanied by an adult.” In a close decision, the affirmative lost by a two to one vote. In the second debate, Bernard Vanier and Russ Breen defended the resolution that “post-war large-scale immigration into Canada should be encouraged.” After a closely contested debate, Loyola was defeated by a two to one vote of the judges, although on a basis of points, the result was otherwise. This brought to an end the activities of the Society for the 1944-45 season. The general lack of interest in debating of the student body is particularly to be deplored, in view of the magnificent work the Society has done. We are confident that the students will. in the years to come, appreciate more fully the efforts of the debaters and their continued success. BERNARD VANIER, '45.
