Senator Kenyon one day told some
OF his colleagues that if he were to
sit down and indite a list of the
changes that should be made in our
way of conducting public business. he
believed he would have to use both
sides of several sheets OF paper. He
declared that his experience here has
demonstrated the futility of suggest
ing too many of these changes. how
ever and that he supposed to accom-
pl!sh all of them will take many
years of service than he or any other
single man could give to the cause. In
this respect the Senator has been dis
appointed at the lack Of enthusiasm
for some of his proposals-but he be-
lieEes in them just the same and saws
he will continue TO do so.
When this war broke out Senator
Kenyon viewed il with some doubt
Since our Congress began the task of
getting into it. however, a myriad OF
questions have arisen which have per-
picked him beyond measure and after
thinking about the matter great deal
he decided the only thing he could
conscientiously do was to 60 abroad
and obtain at first hand information
which he declared he could not obtain
satisfactorily or with sufficient COM
