Formal protest against the action of the alministration in concluding an agreement with the German gov- ernment for establishment of a joint commission to pass on American war claims against Germany was made today by Senator Underwood of Ala- bama. democratic Senate leader, in a letter to Chairman Cummings the judjeiary subcommittee. The su committee has before it Senator Un- derwood’s bill for an all-American commission to nator Underwooill in his lett challenged the contention of the State Department and White House that precedents existed for the ad- ministration course and adde Denies Any Precedent. “No President, to my knowledsge, has ever entered into such an agre ment providing for the adjudication of claims arising out of war. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the Presi- dents, with but a few nominal ex- ceptions, have not entered into agreement for the adjustment of a private claim of a foreigner against the United States without securing the approval of the Senate, but I think that it is chiefly because the ettlement of war claims is neces- part and parcel with the t e, which, of course, under our Constitution, must be submitted the Senate for its advice and ratifica- tion. bne of the precedent cases that has been cited, Senator Underwood said, were analogous, for they did not involve secured by approximately $346,000,000 worth of collateral.” Underwood Cites Treatles. “Assuming that the President joys authority to negotiate executive agreements under usual circum- stances,” Senator Underwood con- tinued, “I am doubtful if he has such authority at the present time with respect to the claims of our nation and its citizens against the enemy governments. “It is impossible to divorce the dis- position of the enemy property by the alien property custodiar and the settlement of our claims against | the former enemy governments.” Quoting from the Versailles, Ber- lin and Trianon treaties, reserving to Congress the disposal of enemy prop- erty and adjustment of claims, Sen- ator Underwood said it was not necessary to “point out the possibil- v that Congress, when it comes to This In Star Suitable for Or Display Southern .
