World Socialist Party Challenges Debaters To Argue Inheritance

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The World Socialist Party of Boston issued a challenge to the Debate Council Friday to defend the negative side of next Friday's Yale topic: "Resolved, That the inheritance of wealth is against the best interests of society."

Council President George M. Frederickson '56 accepted; saying the debate would take place at 8 p.m. Wednesday at 11 Faneuil Hall, Boston.

"Inheritance is part and parcel of a larger problem of exploitation, and we shall use this debate as a discussion of property relationships," George J. Gloss said last night on behalf of the Party.

When asked whether he was a leader of the Boston Socialists, Gloss replied that the party "does not look to men on horseback to solve problems. We merely have officials for the perfunctory carrying out of delegated tasks," he said.

The World Socialist Party, which has been debating against University teams for 14 years, are seeking "the introduction of world socialism based on common ownership and democratic control."
