MONDAY, JAN. 10 1926
MT hiacon, from the Committee on Foreipn
Neia'ioas, 10 whom was referred, on the oSth
December, The message of the President of the
United States, nominated Richard G. Anderson and
John Sergeant, TO be Eavoys Extraordinary Min
listers Plenipoten'ary TO the Assembly of the Ame-
fiean Nations, at Panama; and, the 10th instant
Message, communicating certain documen,s 70
iaims thereto, submitted The following report
That they have examined the subject 70 ,b.r,
referred, with the mos, pI oiound attention and ba
bestowed upon 1t aIliie consideration demanded b
us novelty deiicacy and hish Importance to IN.
character and future desinies of the United S,o,es
in making this examination, The Committee fo,nI
themselves moi little embarrassed al first, bv :; .
circumstances announced by the President in his
message W pom houses oil Congress, at the COM
meR ctment OF the present session, that he had MI
really accepted the invitation given to the JToitsa
states, by some OF TIE American Republics % bs
represented at The contemplated CONGRESS- of Ame
r!can Nations, aboGt TO be assembled at Panam,
But, seeing in the several communications ,,.d h.
The Secretary OF State, the different ,,inis,e, -
these Republics that an express reference was r,
10 Inc concurrence OF the Senate, as The ndi.pens,
Die preliminary TO the acceptance of this iayitation
anu hndihg, IN the present message OF President
line explicit assurance, tia, he mad not bouab, nro
per TO take any step in carrying this measure
effect, until he could asc.rtain that his oninon f;,
expedency would concur with that of both hr,rcl
es OF the Legislature; the Committee believed il ba
came part OF the duty they on ed 10 the Senate
and would be evidence of the proper respect due to
the President that they should fully and freely en-
anime into the propriety of the proposed measure
Tire expediency OF adopting which was the subiect
that the Senate was thus invited deliberate upon
and TO make known their opinion
Considerations of much higher importance than
even these, induced tie Committee 10 adon, ,L;s
course. In the ordinary progress of their proceed
nss, the Senate can rarely, il ever find il
cessary or proper, TO inquire to the Objects ex
pected to he attained, by appointments, to which
ther ahV'ce and consent is asked AS TO all officcs
created by statute, in which these objects are de-
tined, and their attainment positively reouir.5 Tho
single question arising before The Senate mus,
refer merely 10 the fitness OF The persons nominated
by The PresIdsr; 10 fulfil such duties The same

10 De made, IN hlnS up vacancies, happening in
pre-eXsting foreign missions, designed 10 maintain
the Customary relations and intercourse of ftiendsbin
ana commerce between the United States and other
naIIons Very different, however, is the cage
when IL rs proposed to create new Offices, by NOM
nation, or TO despatch ministers 10 foreign States
Tor The hrsi time, or to accomplish, by such mis-
sons, objects not special, disclosed, or under cir
cumslances new, peculiar, and highly important
In all these cases instead of coninng their inopi-
RES 10 the mere fitness OF he persons. nomina.

the daty ofths Senate, to determine, previously.

not only the Objects foi the accomp,isbmen, hg
which i is proposed TO create them but every o,l
