LA High Wins
Arms Debate
“Resolved: that the nations of
the world should adopt a plan of
complete disarmament, excepting
only forces necessary for police
protection.” was argued by Willard
Stone and John Thomson from Los
Angeles high, which was awarded
the decision by J. P. O’Mara, judge
of the debate.
Stone showed why disarmament
the world is ready for complete dis¬
armament. Thomson gave argu¬
ments to prove that complete dis¬
armament is practicable, showing
that disarmament is desirable,
how it could be brought about, and
how the police protection could be
managed. The negative admitted
was desirable, and gave proofs that
claimed that no practical scheme
could be worked out.
A no decision debate on the sub¬
ject: Resolved, that “Branch bank¬
ing should be limited to the city of
the parent institution in Califor¬
nia,” was held at Los Angeles high
Monday, with Persis Kreinbrin-g
and Frank Ross speaking on the

India and Russia
Reviewe d by Group
— 4—
Discussion, and arguments were
heard when the burning question of
India was mentioned in the current
events group. A point of disagree¬
ment between members of the group
is the question “Is the -representat¬
ion of India according to Mohamm-
adans, Hindus, Christians, and
other religions due to demands of
Indians or of the British?” Recent
events in India; Gandhi’s ceremony
with the salt and its failure to cause
his arrest; the riots and arrests; his
note to the British Government sta¬
ting that he would -cause disorder
and -disobedience at another salt pit;
his quiet arrest . occu-ring just
before daylight of the -day his threat
would be carried out . were rev¬
iewed by the group.
A more peaceful question, at least
for the present, Russia was discus-
ed by the Thursday second period
lunch group. The Soviet system
from the smallest soviets of comm¬
unities to the largest national one
was explained throughly by George
Kuznets.

Shrieking headlines, with
graft, corruption, accident,
and death staring out from
a violently yellow page — tab¬
loid and yellow to the very
core, this year’s Crazy
‘Chronicle’ is nearing com¬
pletion for its release on
May 15 at the Carnival.
Copies will also be on sale at
the junior- college the next
day.
The “Yellow Fever” is
something new in scandal
sheets. A well known New
York tabloid was chjbsen for
a model — it may be seen in
' the window of the ‘Chronicle’
office — and it appears that
the editors have improved
upon the original. “Nothing
like it before — nothing like
it again” is the slogan of
Weight and Carmichael, edi¬
tors. Aaron Rothenberg,
business manager, is prepar¬
ing for a rush of customers.
Sixteen pages' of tabloid
size — equal to more than
eight pages of the regular
‘Chronicle’ — are packed with
new cuts, wise rracks, and
snappy stories. Pictorial sec¬
