Capitalism Mother of War, Says Lewis at Union Debate

Thirty Freshmen Enter Discussion on Causes of War

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED February 13, 1935

Stating that capitalism is the mother of war, Alfred Baker Lewis, several times gubernatorial candidate of the Socialist party, led off the Union Society's informal debate at the Union last night.

Thirty Freshmen entered into the discussion of the subject. "Resolved. That the economic forces making for war are stronger under a capitalistic than under a socialistic system."

Following Mr. Lewis, John M. Graham '38 and Paul R. Vogt '38 argued for the negative, while Robert E. Wernick '38 was sole supporter of the affirmative.
