NEW HAVEN, CONN., March 23.--The Yale negative debating team defeated the Princeton speakers here tonight. The Yale team based its argument on the principle that the Monroe Doctrine was beneficial and the best means of enforcing peace. Any participation in a league such as the one proposed would necessitate an abandonment of this policy. It was also pointed out that it would be impracticable to give executive power to the League. Furthermore, the proposed plan would necessitate the maintenance of a large standing army constantly ready for service in a cause often not our own and would involve us in an unkindly alliance.
E. S. Pinney, 1917, delivered the best speech for the Yale team.
