Should American Youth Support Competitive Enterprise

This radio show features a debate about whether young Americans should back the return of free market business as the main way to run our economy after the war ends. Four college students take part in the discussion: Jack F. McCliment from the University of Oregon in Eugene, Williams A. Rusher from Princeton, Allan Conwill from Northwestern University, and Hugo Pearson from Augustana College in Illinois. This debate is part of the final round of the 1943 National Intercollegiate Radio Prize Series. The show includes Allan Conwill, Hugo Pearson, and Jack F. McCliment as debaters, Don Gardiner as the announcer, and William F. Pierce as the person who runs the discussion.

Arthur Stivaletta, also known as Mr. Wake Up America, was an American political activist and building contractor from Dedham, Massachusetts.
