The presence, of the apparent ban against American membership on the reparations commission, without flrBt being approved by congress, as contained In the resolution of ratification of the German-American treaty, seemed to be an insuperable obstacle to meeting completely the desires of the British and French premiers. This resolution of ratification leaves no doubt that the legislative brapch rather than the executive has supreme control in this regard. The resolution provides "that the United States shall not be represented or participate in any body, agency or commission, nor shall any person represent the United States as a member of any body or commission in which the United States is authorized to participate by this (German-American) treaty, unless and until an act of congress of the United States shall provide for such representation or participation.* While State department officials withheld all comment on the cabled dispatches telling of the accord reached by Premiers MacDonald and Herrlot In the conference at Paris, due partly to the absence from Washington of Secretary Hughes and the further fact that Ambassador Herrick has not officially advised the department of the PariSL conference, it is known that both President Coolidge and Secretary Hughes are sincerely desirous of wholeheartedly entering Into any arrangement that will expedite the application of the Dawes report.
