While the most conspicuous activity

Dental nomination centers around
Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt of New
York, the reparations moratorium
has brought the name of Owen D.
Young of New York prominently
into discussion.
Young had much to do with draft
ing the Dawes and Young repara-

moratorium is for one year, so the
issue of whether repaartions and
war debts should be further sus-
pended or readjusted may become
acute at the threshold of next years
presidential campaign.
Therefore some friend of young
believe events may make him a
logical democratic selection.
Young has said he is not a can
didate. Some of his friends say he
will not lift a hand to be nominated
and that if he is nominated it must
be entirely without his cooperation
General belief is that an effort will
be made in his behalf unless he
specifically opposes it by some such
positive statement as is credited tc
