 Dr. Paulina L.uisi, Uruguayan member of the experts committee on the problem informed the council that Uruguay subscribed to the re- port only under reservations because she felt that the inquiry in Latin American countries was superficial and insufficient.

COLUMBUS LETTER
(By Chas. w. Rife

If any Democrat is being groomed
to oppose Simeon D. Fess for anoth-
er term in the United States senate
next year it is being done very quiet
ly. Many names have been men
toned in connection with the con-
test, and there isn't the least doubt
but what a strong candidate will be
nominated. as the Democrats have
hope that they can win one of the
two seats in the upper house of con-
gress next year. Governor Vic DON
ahey, of course, comes first when
names for this office are mentioned,
but if he is even thinking of being
candidate he hasn't thought out loud
and no one knows his intentions. 1t
is said to be certain that Atlee POM
creme will not be candidate. 9th
ers mentioned include Claude Meek
er, Columbus, Cyrus F. Locher, di-
rector of commerce, w. A. Julian.
Cincinnati, member of the National
Democratic committee, NJ. F. Davey,
Kent, and several others not so well
known. The senatorship will be
greatly clarified when Governor Dom
ahey announces his intentions for
next year. No one thinks that if he
enters the senatorial contest he will
have any opposition, and, the same
may be said of any other nomina-
tion that he may decide to ask of
Ohio voters. Somehow or other
