Who knows exactly what is happening to the proposed debating tour? N.Z.U.S.A. is a little woolly about it all, so is the executive of V.U.W., and it is doubtful if the Debating Council or Victoria University debating club are much better off.

N.Z.U.S.A. had a letter from Warwick Dent, Victoria. Mr Dent's letter explained that the U.S. Embassy had been favourably impressed by the proposal to send an N.Z.U. debating team to tour the United States, and Council had been understood to support the tour in principle.

So the tour had been confirmed with the Embassy although finance had not been arranged. Postponement was then suggested as the necessary £800 could not be obtained.

The Embassy was not impressed with the messing around, suggested a tour of debaters in 1960 and another in 1961.
