The report will be submitted to the general convention of the church in Denver next September. Meanwhile final report will be drawn. The commission invites suggestions.
 At present the church permits the remarriage only of the innocent party to divorce granted for in- fidelity.
 The Rt. Rev Herman Page, bishop of Michigan and chairman of the commission, in statement, said the remarriage plan was be- ing sponsored because marriage outside of the regular forms of the church would really be allowing a sort of inferior or backdoor type of marriage. which is unworthy of the church.
 We feel that clear distinction should be made between a civil marriage and the blessing of the church"

 Democrats of the East are groom ing Owen D. Young for the nomin- ation for president next year. Like Herbert Hoover, he is appraised as a super-man, and also like Herbert Hoover, he is as well known abroad as in his own coun- try. His ascendency at this junc- ture tends to puncture the boom for Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt, who however, is still manifestly In the lead. Frank Kent, of the Balti- more Sun, very able political writer and analyist, although he favors Gov. Ritchie of his own state, in an article in Scribner's ventures the opinion that Democra- tic sentiment may veer around to Young, as more acceptable to party masses, than the New York execu- tive, whose relations with Tam many obstruct his path.
 The reparation plan for settle ment of the European war debt to America is ascribed to Owen D. Young's genius. France, Belgium, Germany and Japan decorated him for his service on the Preparation Commission. He is now counsel of the General Electric and iden- tified officially with many other big corporations. His very name spells conservatism and to the Wet it likewise spells capitalism. The in- surgent group in politics, typifled by Norris and Nye and young La Toilette, who are friendly toward Roosevelt, on the power issue, would never support Young, and his nomination would immediately stop any Republican bolt. His candidacy, not yet announced, would appear to be akin to that of John w. Davis, in 1924, who, ideally equipped, admittedly one of the ablest men ever named for made a forlorn race and was easily vanquished by Calvin Coolidge.
 Bishop Cannon, stormy petrel of the Prohibition forces, and his CO., adjutor, Clarence True Wilson, of the Methodist Board, are unalter- ably opposed to Franklin D. Roose- welt. Another bishop wildly pre- diets that he would lose by 8,000,- 900 votes. Already these expon- ents of the Noble Experiment. are taking a hand in Che preliminsa ,.
