AUSTRALIAN DEBATERS LOSE TO CRIMSON 3 TO 0

Defeated by Harvard Team Playing Telegrams from Lewis and Green as Trump Cards

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Aided by telegrams denouncing compulsory labor arbitration from John L. Lewis, C. I. O. chief, and William Green. President of the A. F. of L., the Harvard debating team won a 3 to 0 victory over their Australian opponents in a debate yesterday afternoon.

The question "Resolved, That Congress should adopt the Australian system of compulsory arbitration" was debated before a studio audience over station WAAB and a coast-to-coast Mutual Broadcasting hook-up.
