It was indeed an inspiring- scene
that greeted the Carolina-Hopkins
debaters Saturday evening-. Ger-
rard Hall was strikingly arrayed in
the colors of the two Universities
the white and blue1 of Carolina
stretching in graceful 'folds down
the right side, and the black" and1
blue of Hopkins on the left the
four colors meeting: and entwining

debate every seat in the Hall had
been taken, and many eager boys
were standing where space afforded.
A few minutes before the.-ap-poiiitt-djiour
the orchestra played
softly '"Li Fiesta", and Governor -Aycock,
the judges and speakers
entered and took their seats amid
vigorous hand-clapping, drowned
only by yell after yell for Caro

Gov. A y eoc k , t h e P res i d e n t ,
made the opening announcement
as to the purpose of the meeting
and the rules 'of the debate, in
structing the judges at the request
of the four speakers, to render
their decision with consideiation
for the arguments and delivery ol
the speakers and without regard
to the merits of the question.
Mr. C. P. Russell, Secretary.,
then read the query: "Resolved.
That our government should not.
subsidize our merchant marine."
The affirmative was supported by
Hopkins and the negative by Car
olina. Each speaker was allowed
thirty minutes to be used at his dis- j taxation and our
need subsidies? Cramps competed
with France, Germany and Eng
land, and yet were able .to secure
the contracts for Japanese and Rus-r
sian battleships. Our coastwise
trade furnishes ample facilities for
colliers and transports in time of
war. The way to increase our
naval strength is not to tin over
merchantmen but to build battle
ships. There are other methods of
encouraging our merchant marine.
We should repeal that part of our
navigation laws which forbid to
foreign-built ships an American
registry, exempt our ships from

Mr. Solomon Blum, of Hopkins,
the first speaker of the evening,
held the close and undivided atten
tion of the audience for fifteen min
utes, his choice on the first round,
and produced some interesting facts
fn presenting a strong, forcible ar
gument. Mr. Blum said, in brief:
It is a self-evident fact that an
industry which does not need pro
tection or subsidies should not be
protected or subsidized. In systems
of transportation, in raw materials,
in inventive genius we surpass all
nations; during the past decade the
number of ship-building plants has
increased fifty per cent., the yearly
output has increased from 12 to 50
million tons. Does this suggest
will be greatly increased.
Subsidies have not been successful
in other countries. In Germany
subsidies are but an incident in a
great system of paternalism, repug
nant to American ideals, and yet
German trade and German shipping
has decreased in proportion to her
wealth and the number of her inhab
itants. In Prance ships sail with
out cargoes in order to earn the gov
ernment bounty. The French peo
ple pay $18000 in order that a ship
may declare a dividend of $9000 for
her owners. If we would build up
the merchant marine to endure for
all time, we must build it in the
typical American manner; by
shrewdness, by energy, and by solid
effort. This is the method we are
