He concluded by showing how the unscrupolous activities of capital in foreign lands wag directly responsible for governmental instability.
Opening for the negative, Griffin defined protection as including not only force but all forms of diplomatic and economic protection and that if we abandoned protection we would leave 25 billion dollars at the dis-

With the exception of Lucille Taylor and Charles Wright the characters in the cast of Moliere’s comedy “The Doctor In Spite of Himself,” have had little experience on this campus in dramatic
work. The play will be presented Friday evening, March 2, in Bovard Auditorium by the junior cast.
Both Wright and Miss Taylor are*cast in Moliere’s comedy respectively well-known on the campus, each having appeared in many productions. The former has appeared principally in

Tryouts for the chorus of the 1928 Extravaganza will be held today at 4:00 in Bovard Auditorium for all women of the University desiring to take part in the annual musical pro-
campus skits which have featured the pep rallies this year. Though these parts did not give him the opportunity to display his full histronic ability they did give the campus at large the chance to know that he has talent which was not touched by these superficial parts.
Lucille Taylor is perhaps the best known of those in the junior play cast. She made her reputation as “Mrs. Pom penelli” in “The Torchbearer”, the under class play of last year, and repeated her success in “The Rumpus of 1927 as the Aunt of the little “gold digger.” This year she was one of the apprentices in “The Chinese Lantern”, the

As the second affirmative speaker Henley urged that the United States return to her traditional policy of non-interference in the affairs of other nations on the ground that it would promote good will, our best protection, that it would stop the collecUon of usurious loans by force and that It would recognize fundamental principles of goverment.
Roger Ball of O. A. C. conceded that there were evils in the administration of protection but that that was not a fault of the principle of protection, but of the administration. The remedy should be affected there. Then after further developing the benefits of protection, he said that the affirmative plan of withdrawing U. S. protection of investments would throw open three alternatives to the investor.
He could withdraw, which would be unfair to the country that needed his resources. Or he could incorporate
under the laws of another nation and call upon that nation for protection.
Or he could subsidize armies and rev-, olutions himself for pfotection.

“The chorus will be smaller this year,” stated Stanley Ewens, N.P.C., and play productions manager of the university, “but it will be more finished and skilled in performance. The dance routine which has been outlined will be one of the most entertaining yet presented on the college stage.”
